The original High School musical is back! 9 Works Theatrical brings back the iconic Danny Zuko, Sandy Dumbrowski and the entire Rydell High gang back in Manila this November. Let's get ready to Rock and Roll!

For over 40 years, Grease has remained one of the world’s most popular and beloved musicals. Time Magazine even dubbed its 2007 Broadway revival as the “#1 Musical of the Year.” Now, after more than a decade since the musical was last performed in Manila, Grease returns with a spankin’ new production directed by Robbie Guevara.

Leading the cast is TV star Gian Magdangal as the good-looking and confident leader of the T-Birds, Danny Zuko.   Gian returns after essaying the roles of Robbie Hart in “The Wedding Singer” and Roger in 9WT’s three sold-out productions of “Rent The Musical”. He was recently seen in “Katy!” and the musical production of “Noli Me Tangere”

Playing the role of the cute and naïve Sandra Dee-type Sandy Dumbrowski is singer-actress Frencheska Farr, former winner of the hit reality TV show, Are You The Next Big Star. 

Returning to 9WT as the sarcastic and outspoken leader of the Pink Ladies, Betty Rizzo is singer-actress and MYX VJ Iya Villania. Alternating with Iya for the role is Fil-Am actor-singer-songwriter Jennifer Blair–Bianco. Meanwhile fresh faces Rafa Siguion-Reyna and Carla Dunareanu play Kenickie and Marty.

Grease will run from November 9 to December 1, 2013 at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza, Makati. A limited number of performances are NOW available for fundraising and block-buying. For TICKETS call 586-7105, 0917-5545560, email: info@9workstheatrical.com or TicketWorld Manila.

DOTC : MCIAA Donates P 2-Million to Earthquake Victims

Airport Back to 100% Normal Operations One Day After Temblor

Following the aftermath of Tuesday’s temblor, the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA) has decided to donate P 2-Million to the victims of the earthquake in the provinces of Cebu and Bohol out of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) budget.

The MCIAA Board of Directors met yesterday, 17 October 2013, and approved the release of P 1-Million each to the Provincial Governments of Cebu and Bohol as financial assistance for use in their relief operations.

“I commend MCIAA for this generous act at this critical time, and I hope this inspires others to help out as well. I personally visited our kababayans in these areas over the past two days and saw the difficulties they are going through. It is good for them to be reassured that government is here to help them,” said Department of Transportation and Communications Secretary Joseph Emilio Aguinaldo Abaya.

The MCIAA also reported to the DOTC that the Cebu airport has been back to 100% 24-hour normal operations since the day after the earthquake hit, or on 16 October 2013. This confirmation dispels certain false and irresponsible text messages which have been circulated, claiming that the runway was badly damaged and that the airport was closed.

According to the MCIAA, the runway was closed for only 20 minutes right after the temblor hit, in order to allow the Runway Inspection Team to conduct an immediate technical inspection of the runway and taxiway integrity. Having been found to be safe, the runway was reopened for flight operations.

Meanwhile, the passenger terminal building (PTB) was evacuated and closed for around three-and-a-half hours on 15 October 2013 as structural integrity was assessed. No major damages were detected, as minor damages such as cracks were non-structural in nature. Passenger and cargo processing were returned to the PTB from separate buildings by around noon of the same day.

The riding public is advised to remain on alert and to follow any public announcements that may be broadcast at the airport. Should there be a need to evacuate, they should follow the guidance of airport personnel and head to the nearest exits. The MCIAA is appealing for calm and sobriety as aftershocks occur.

The MCIAA reaffirms its commitment to provide the highest level of airport services possible with safety first on its mind, in line with the DOTC’s priority of ensuring passenger safety and convenience.
