Based on the 1979 film “Annie Batungbakal,” the musical will spotlight the hit-filled catalog of Hotdog, the legendary OPM band that helped define the Manila Sound of the ’70s.
Concepcion, Moses, and Rosaldo will take turns playing Romer, a charming flight attendant who frequents the iconic Malate disco Coco Banana. Estrada, meanwhile, steps into the role of Burn, an aspiring folk-rock singer chasing his big break.
The show is set to run from September to October at the Newport Performing Arts Theater in Pasay City.
Meanwhile, fans are already buzzing over one lingering mystery: who will play Annie? Online speculation points to Atasha Muhlach, with many convinced she’s the voice behind the teaser that’s been making the rounds. No confirmation yet, but if the chatter is any indication, the next Annie may already be on everyone’s radar.
