Abstract

Excerpt: It has been said that if you give a Filipino a wall, he will cover every nook and cranny of it with family pictures, school diplomas, vacation souvenirs, religious imagery, and whatever else he could find. Adapted from the award-winning “indie” movie Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros (2005), written by Michiko Yamamoto and directed by Auraeus Solito, Bit by Bit Company’s Maxie the Musicale holds true to this well-known Filipino characteristic; it has everything, including the kitchen sink. Given the dominance of Western musicals in our theater scene, this exuberant, if overindulgent, original Filipino production is more than welcome on our stages.
