Repertory Philippines proudly announces its second offering
for the year 2013 with “ No Way To Treat A Lady ” a musical comedy thriller
with book, music and lyrics by Douglas J. Cohen based on the best-selling novel
and renowned movie by William Goldman.
“No Way To Treat A Lady” directed by Audie Gemora, is a
musical comic thriller chronicling the exploits of a 1970s momma's boy serial
killer – who draws a red lipstick kiss on the forehead of each of his victims
as a calling card – and the hardened momma's boy cop hell-bent on tracking him
down.
As a witty, snappy, dark, and wickedly entertaining black
comedy, the music and lyrics of “No Way To Treat a Lady” are magical --- you
will actually start humming melodies that stay with you. All the elements come
together to illustrate what a first-rate musical should be!
With five actors playing 17 roles, the cast features Audie Gemora
as Christopher ‘Kit’ Gill; Joel Trinidad as Morris Brummel; Carla
Guevara-Laforteza as Sarah Stone; Sheila Francisco as Flora Brummel; Pinky
Marquez as Alexandra Gill; and Jamie Wilson as Christopher Gill (Stand In).
Within the course of the play, Christopher Gill disguises
himself as seven other characters: an Irish priest, an Arthur Murray dance
class instructor, a French waiter, a telephone repairman, a pizza delivery
messenger, a New York cop, and a female barfly.
