prepares us for the self-reflexiveness and tongue-in-cheekness of the musical. Cleverly titled “Front Act,” a trio of performers distract the audience while everyone backstage searches for the sarswela’s star Julia . Julia has everything — charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent, and a secret boyfriend Tenyong who is more than happy to support her from the shadows.
Littered throughout Vera’s intelligently written book and lyrics and Vince Lim’s music are these nuances. Comedic flirtations between Tenyong and Julia give way to reflection in solitude , while questions of male desirability and masculinity are presented through cute and catchy tunes , even raunchy ones . Lim manages to blend humorous storytelling and Pinoy pop perfection to create songs that, borrowing words from Jessica Zafra, “contain all the thrill of first love and the agony of heartbreak.
