Rivalry at CCP

An original Filipino musical about rivalries between friends, cousins, parents, and between Ateneo and La Salle basketball teams, “Rivalry at CCP” features Athena Tibi, Fred Lo, Red Concepcion, OJ Mariano, Juliene Mendoza, Pinky Marquez, Raymund Concepcion, Sheila Francisco and Noel Trinidad, among other performers. The musical garnered awards from Aliw as Best Musical Director (Ed Gatchalian), Best Stage Direction (Jaime del Mundo), and from BroadwayWorld as Best Music (Ed Gatchalian) for an original Filipino musical.

The story revolves around two families, set in the year 1968, when Ateneo and La Salle were still part of the NCAA with other schools such as Letran, San Beda, Mapua and Jose Rizal.

The 4th Wall Theater Company (also known as T4 Theater) is a Philippine theater group that encourages the creation and production of original, world-class Filipino musicals and plays that will appeal to a wider local theater audience. In line with its vision, T4 has created, produced and performed two original musicals to date. In 2009, T4 was commissioned to create and produce an original musical called “100: Insular Life’s Musical Journey in C Major”, for the centennial celebration of the Insular Life Assurance Corporation. The result was a highly entertaining piece of theater which won 2 awards in the Philippine Quill Creative Awards. This was followed with “RIVALRY: ATENEO-LA SALLE THE MUSICAL”, a critically acclaimed show that ran for 38 performances in 2012, with 16 additional shows in 2013, both at the Meralco Theater. It won Best Music for a Filipino Musical (Ed Gatchalian) in the 2012 BroadwayWorld.com Awards. And in the recent 26th Aliw Awards, it won additional awards such as Best Musical Direction (Ed Gatchalian) and Best Stage Direction (Jaime Del Mundo).

Ticket prices are at P1,200 (Center) and P800 (Sides). For details, contact the CCP Production Management Services Division at 832-1125 loc. 1606-1607.
