AFTER six years ay muling bumalik sa musical theatre si Lea Salonga via the Philippine production of Into The Woods ng Theater Group Asia (TGA).
Gagampanan ng Tony Award-winning actress ang role ng The Witch na unang ginawa ni Lea sa Singapore production ng Into The Woods in 1994.
“Playing her again 30 years later is going to be illuminating. So much life has happened in the intervening years. I’m hoping to bring as much of that as I can to this production,” sey ni Lea.
Ang huling pag-arte sa stage ni Lea ay noong 2019 sa local production ng ‘Sweeney Todd.’
‘Into The Woods’ will open on August 2025 at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater.

KINORONAHAN bilang Miss Teen Universe Philippines 2025 ang 17-year old Filipina-German na taga-Camarines Norte na si Chiara Mae Gottschalk.
Magiging representative ng Pilipinas si Chiara sa 2025 Miss Teen Universe. But as of this writing, wala pang ina-announce kung kailan at saang bansa ito nagaganap.
Sa official sashing and crowing ni Chiara last January 19 sa German Club Manila in Makati City, sinabi ng teen queen na first time niya sumali sa pageant at sorpresa sa kanya ang pagbigay sa kanya ng naturang beauty title dahil runner-up lang daw siya sa sinalihan na Miss Teen International Philippines.
“Miss Teen International Philippines was my first ever experience in the pageantry world, and it was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever done, especially meeting my fellow candidates.
“However, one of the biggest lessons I also learned was that coming up first runner-up for Miss Teen International, it does not always mean that when you do not succeed, that it is a door closing.
“It is more of a redirection. And this is why I’m sitting in front of you here today. And I’m very, very, very excited to accept this new responsibility.
“It was the day after the coronation night when we were already celebrating and congratulating all the girls and especially Miss Rizal, the new Miss Teen International Philippines.
“And then we had a meeting with Miss Charlotte, and she told me and offered this wonderful experience, and I graciously accepted the challenge.
“Thank you because I’m able to reach the youth. It is Miss Teen Universe for a reason, and it will be my first time representing the country on the national stage.”
