Were you able to read this article? It quickly circulated through the web and social media, that’s why most of us are asking how much will the tickets be.

My daughter was quick to remark that she saw this on Movie Stars Cafe (click this link to get a 10% discount on your visit!).

I saw this musical with the Madz back in 2007 in Berlin. Only it was in Deutsch! And we understood it since we have watched the cartoons as kids.

Free days are most treasured during our Madz tours. One free day during our Berlin stop in 2007 was spent watching a Disney musical live at the Potsdamer Platz theater. We were in for a treat–the one doing Belle was a Filipina, and we had a theater tour!

Not to be a spoiler, but I want to show some photos of our backstage tour. The production was kind enough to show us what’s happening before the show.

Let's begin with Belle's dressing room. Ain't it cute?

It was purely in German, but we did have a great time watching! Here’s some after show photos:

It was an honor meeting a truly great Filipino artist making waves abroad. Philippine performance soon, perhaps? (On photo: Melody Lalata of Summit Media, Leah delos Santos, Your Royal Kittyness, and Filipino soprano Karlene Hayworth now based in London).

I’m really excited to see the English version in January. Are you watching, too?

    • Thanks for dropping by Tita Mimi 🙂 watching shows during that trip was one of the best experiences, apart from the competition pressure and winning it after all, that is! I was able to watch an opera as well, and when we were at the US after the Europe tour, I watched even more shows!
