A Theatrical Reimagining for Gen Z
Tabing Ilog was not just a TV show, it was a cultural touchstone for a generation of Filipinos.
Ipinalabas ang original series sa telebisyon from 1999 to 2003.
Naging patok ito sa mga kabataan dahil sa relatability nito, lalo na sa mga paksang nagpapatungkol sa teenage life at samahan ng magkakaibigan.
Maraming mga celebrities ang nag-take off ang career after the show ended. Kasama na rito sina Kaye Abad, John Lloyd Cruz, Jodi Sta. Maria, at Baron Geisler.
Fast forward to the present, ginawang musical ang well-loved series na ito.
Ngayon, may pagkakataon ang new generation na masaksihan ito on stage. At the same time, ang musical ay makaka-reconnect with the older but wiser audience who have fond memories of the show.
Tabing Ilog: The Musical is designed to appeal to a general audience, including both fans of the original series and younger viewers.
Reimagined ang theme song for this musical, along with a host of new numbers na hindi natin nakita sa original series.
Barbie Almalbis, who sang the show's theme song, is in charge of the music.
