  • GA Tickets for Bruno Mars Now Being Resold at P11000

    GA Tickets for Bruno Mars Now Being Resold at P11000

    The social media blew up when it was announced that that Bruno Mars will be bringing his “24K Magic World Tour” to Manila next year.

    Tickets for his third Manila show on May 3, 2018 went live at 10am yesterday and was reportedly sold out in less than an hour. As expected, several tickets are already being resold by scalpers at inflated price.

    The prices for Mars’ upcoming concert are between P2650 for General Admission and P23850 for VIP 1 Standing. Following the announcement of Mar’s sold out show, many have taken to social media to request for Day 2 which was granted and announced by MMI Live yesterday at 3pm. As at time of writing, day 2 is reportedly selling out and could be gone in a few hours but unlucky fans should not lose hope because some tickets will still be available due to invalid credit cards and fraud.

    A quick observation at the price range shows that tickets for General Admission are now being resold at P11,000 That’s almost 4 times the original price. Meanwhile tickets for VIP are being resold between P34,000-P38.000. Is anyone desperate enough to fork out this much cash for Bruno Mars? What could the government and industry do to prevent selling of tickets at inflated prices?

  • OASIS’ Frontman Liam Gallagher Finally Heading to Manila

    OASIS’ Frontman Liam Gallagher Finally Heading to Manila

     

     

    As the frontman for Oasis, Liam Gallagher swaggered his way through the britpop boom of the 1990s, belting out classic tunes like ‘Live Forever,’ ‘Wonderwall,’ and ‘Cigarettes and Alcohol.’ Despite ascending to a level of success not seen in the UK since The Beatles, Oasis’ foundations were built on shaky ground – namely the combustible relationship between Liam and older brother (and main songwriter) Noel. After years of acrimony the band finally called it quits in 2009, and the brothers went their separate ways.

    After releasing two records as member of the band Beady Eye, Liam goes it alone in 2017 with his first solo album As You Were. Featuring the pounding lead single ‘Wall of Glass’, it’s the next chapter in the life of one of rock’s most inimitable singers. Catch Liam playing new material alongside Oasis anthems when he rolls into Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City showing for one date only on August 14, 2017, tickets are available thru smtickets.com and outlets.

  • Sheerios and Directioners React To Show Announcements

    Sheerios and Directioners React To Show Announcements

    As Ovation Productions and MMI Live revealed the details of their new shows, fans reacted with a mix of joy and wishfulness.

     

    Some Filipino fans of Ed Sheeran in social media want the November 7 concert venue to be moved, while One Direction fans called for a later date for ticket selling.

    Sheeran’s Divide Tour in Manila from Ovation Productions is set to take place at the Mall of Asia Concert Grounds that can hold 35,000 fans.

    Filo Sheerios flocked to social media, saying they want the Divide Tour venue to be moved either to the MOA Arena (12, 000 -15,000 fans), Araneta Coliseum (20,000) or Philippine Arena (55,000 capacity). We are Ed’s biggest market in the world, and if it will be held in small venue, only few fans can watch his one night show in Manila.

    Directioners, on the other hand, want the June 19 selling date for the announced Harry Styles 2018 solo concert be moved at a later date. They claim the date is too early to sell tickets for a show that’s scheduled next year.

     

    Rhiza Pascua, Chief Operating Officer of MMI Live, on her twitter account said that “sumusunod lang kami sa gusto ng artist.”

    Philippine Concerts will keep everyone posted on updates and statements from Ovation Productions and MMI Llive.

  • Ovation Productions Announces Cast of Sister Act

    Ovation Productions Announces Cast of Sister Act

    Ovation Productions proudly announces its new theater offering to all musical theater fans with “SISTER ACT,” a hilarious, feel-good musical straight from Broadway, New York as it plays beginning June 27 – July 9 at the Theatre at Solaire.


    Based on the mega-hit film from the 1990s, SISTER ACT will be performed in Manila for the first time on a limited two-week run and promises the audience to groove to the original score with music by 8-time Oscar Academy, Grammy and Golden Globe Award-winning composer Alan Menken  (Disney’s Alladin, Beauty and the Beast, Newsies, The Little Mermaid, Enchanted, Little Shop of Horrors), with its vast inspiration of musical styles from Motown, soul and funk to great big disco anthems.

    Produced by Whoopi Goldberg, TROIKA Entertainment and Sister Act On Tour, LLC, SISTER ACT received five 2011 Tony® Award nominations including BEST MUSICAL, BEST ORIGINAL SCORE (Alan Menken (music)/Glenn Slater (lyrics), and BEST BOOK OF A MUSICAL (Cheri & Bill Steinkellner and Douglas Carter Beane).

    SISTER ACT tells the story of a wannabe disco diva Deloris Van Cartier whose life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a murder, and is put into protective custody in the one place the police are sure she won’t be found – a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and an uptight Mother Superior. Using her fabulous disco vibe and killer voice to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church, but in doing so, blows her cover. Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own. A sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, SISTER ACT is reason to rejoice!

    “ To hear people laugh and cheer the way they do at SISTER ACT — a show people think they know but are pleasantly surprised to discover is not what they are expecting — is a magical experience for a producer,” says Producer Whoopi Goldberg, who also played the lead role of Deloris in the 1992 Hollywood blockbuster.

    For the Manila production, the cast of SISTER ACT are as follows:

    DENÉ HILL (Deloris Van Cartier) is an award winning international opera singer who recently co-starred in the PBS Docu-drama “A Time for Greatness,” where she played the role of Geraldine Whittington, the first African American secretary in the White House, to President LBJ.  Her recent musical theater credits include: International Opera Tour of Porgy and Bess (Annie) directed by Charles Randolph-Wright, Civil War (Bessie Tole), The Butterfly’s Day (Guardian Angel) New York Off-Broadway premiere, with additional musical credits in Dreamgirls, Footloose, Hairspray and Hair. Opera credits include: La Boheme (Musetta), and Don Giovanni (Zerlina). Dené earned a Bachelor of Music at University of Texas at Arlington and studied at Accademia dell’Arte in Arezzo, Italy.

    REBECCA MASON-WYGAL (Mother Superior) toured the USA in Mamma Mia!, understudying  the lead roles of Donna & Rosie. She is a founding member of Coeurage Theatre Company in Los Angeles.

    WILL T. TRAVIS (Eddie Souther) appeared in the Regional Tour: Choir Boy (Pharus), The Little Mermaid (Sebastian), Twelfth Night (Orsino), Hairspray (Seaweed), To Kill A Mockingbird (Tom Robinson).

    Joe Dziemianowicz of The New York Daily News raves “A blessed event has landed on Broadway. Sister Act is a feel-good crowd pleasure worth celebrating. It keeps on purring from one happy moment to the next.”
    Charles Isherwoood of The New York Times says, “When the wimples start quivering and the nuns start rocking to raise the Gothic rafters, all’s right in the kingdom of musical comedy!”

    Mark Kennedy of The Associated Press calls SISTER ACT, “In a word, divine.  This is a musical that hits all of the right spots, achieving something close to Broadway grace. It will convert you.”

    SISTER ACT features scenic design by Klara Zieglerova (Jersey Boys), costume design by Lez Brotherson (Swan Lake), lighting design by Natasha Katz (Once), sound design by Peter McBoyle (Come Fly Away) and hair design by David Brian Brown (Death of a Salesman).

  • EXO Returns to the Philippines for their Latest and Biggest Tour Yet

    EXO Returns to the Philippines for their Latest and Biggest Tour Yet

    Almost a year after the roaring, record-breaking success of EXO PLANET #2: THE EXO’LUXION IN MANILA held last January 23 and 24, 2016, PULP Live World announces that EXO will return to the Philippines for EXO PLANET #3 – THE EXO’RDIUM IN MANILA this February 25 and 26, 2017 at Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City. Filipino fans can expect that the Korean boy group hailed by Dazed Digital as “the world’s biggest boy band” will pull all stops to surpass their history-making previous tour. XIUMIN, SUHO, LAY, BAEKHYUN, CHEN, CHANYEOL, D.O., KAI, and SEHUN will showcase their out-of-this-world vocals, dancing prowess, and appeal performing hits such as “Mama,” “Wolf,” “Growl,” :Overdose,” “Call Me Baby,” “Lucky One” and “Monster,” among many others.

    EXO is a Chinese-South Korean boy band based in Seoul, formed by S.M. Entertainment in 2011. Last 2013, EXO released their first best-selling album, XOXO, that contained their breakthrough hit song, “Growl.” This album shot EXO to stardom having them win the Disk Daesang Award (highest award) at the 28th Golden Disk Awards and receiving the Album of the Year Award at the 15th Mnet Asian Music Awards. XOXO sold over one million copies, making the group the fastest-selling Korean artist in the last twelve years. Their third EP Overdose (2014) made EXO the highest-charting Korean male act on Billboard 200 at No. 129 and it peaked at No. 2 on Billboard’s World Albums Chart.

    During EXO’s first world tour in Seoul, EXO FROM EXO PLANET #1 – THE LOST PLANET, tickets were sold out within 1.47 seconds showing the high popularity of the group. With this experience, the ticketing site YES24 prepared more servers to cater to the massive number of fans this time around, but were faced with a recordbreaking number of 1.2 million Korean fans visiting the site all at the same time!

    When PULP Live World made the announcement for EXO PLANET #2 – The EXO’luXion in Manila in late 2015, the tickets for the original night sold out merely hours after they went on sale, that a second night was added to meet the high demand! Their third full-length album EX’ACT released last June 2016 became the most pre-ordered K-Pop album of all time.

    And now, we witness EXO at their highest point yet with their latest and biggest tour ever. In Seoul alone, at
    least 84,000 EXO-Ls flocked to their six-day EXO’RDIUM tour at the massive Olympic Park Stadium, where they entertained their fans for three hours and a half with more than 30 songs in their set list, making groundbreaking K-Pop entertainment history—never before has an act performed six times in the colossal venue. With EX’ACT selling 660,000 copies and its double title tracks “Monster” and “Lucky One” effortlessly climbing charts (both in Korea and overseas), EXO is set to make bigger and bigger waves as they once again take the world by storm. And once more, Filipino EXO-Ls will light up Manila as we welcome the insanely dynamic and talented group for EXO PLANET #3 – THE EXO’RDIUM IN MANILA.

     

    EXO PLANET #3 – THE EXO’RDIUM IN MANILA is brought to you by SM Entertainment, Dream Maker Entertainment and PULP Live World.

    Tickets are now available at Ticketnet outlets or call 911-5555 or online at www.ticketnet.com.ph! It will be held this February 25 and 26, 2017 at Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City. EXO PLANET #3 – The EXO’rDIUM in Manila Day 1 (February 25, 2017) will promptly start at 7:30PM while Day 2 (February 26, 2017) will promptly start at 5:30PM.
