“Ang concept is theater, so it’s all musicals,” she said about the concert. “So marami kaming Broadway pero mayro’n din kami OPM, kasi nga musical siya.”
Regine added that this is somehow a way to celebrate the growing popularity of musicals here in the country.
So aside from the Broadway songs she usually perform, she’ll be doing Ryan Cayabyab pieces and songs used on local musicals.
The planning of the series concert has been for a while now but didn’t push through because of some factors.
“Never naming nagagawa kasi first ‘yong venue, we want to find a really nice venue na pang theater talaga, given the title. So we want a nice, beautiful theater,” she explained. “Also my schedule, kasi no’ng time na nakahanap kami ng theater ako naman ‘yong…I had a hard time singing pa.”
“So ngayon naging perfect na ang mga situation kaya tinuloy na namin, finally,” she added.
Aside from doing a series concert, it has been a while since Regine starred in a soap opera. Her last TV series is “I Heart You, Pare!” in 2011, which is the same year when she got pregnant with her son Nate.
“‘Yong pag-arte, kung mayro’n talagang magandang project siyempre gagawin ko naman ‘yon,” she replied when asked if she has given up acting. “Naghihintay ako ng magandang proyekto. Ayaw ko naman gumawa ng hindi ko mapapanindigan.”
“Since I have more time, parang gusto kong kumanta muna. Kasi ‘yon naman talaga ang first love ko, ang pagkanta. So I just want to go back to singing first,” she added.
Also part of the “Regine at the Theater” concert are Jonalyn Viray and Aicelle Santos who will alternate in the two set of weekends, and Audie Gemora who’ll be present in all of the shows.
It will happen on November 6, 7, 20 and 21 at The Theater in Solaire Resort and Casino. Tickets are available at SM Tickets.
