DIRECTLINE By Boy Abunda
He now plays Vice Principal Panch in Atlantis Productions’ staging of the Tony Award Winning Musical the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee which runs from March 20 to April 4 at Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza, Makati City.
Joel describes Vice Principal Panch as, “High strung, fastidious and socially inept.” He is the judge at the Spelling Bee competition who returns after a mysterious five-year absence.
In Spelling Bee, with music and lyrics by Tony Award winner William Finn (Falsettos, A New Brain) and a book by Rachel Sheinkin, six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn twinning isn’t everything and losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser. Spelling Bee has been hailed by Wall Street Journal as “perfect in every possible way — that rarity of rarities, a super-smart musical that is also a bona fide crowd pleaser.”
No two spelling bee shows will be alike, as Spelling Bee will feature “starring roles” each night for two volunteer audience members and some surprise celebrity guest spellers.
Also starring in Spelling Bee are Cathy Azanza-Dy, Pheona Baranda, Rycharde Everley, Johann dela Fuente, Carla Guevara-Laforteza, Noel Rayos, Felix Rivera, and Thea Tadiar. It is directed by Bobby Garcia, choreography by Chari Arespacochaga, set design by Tuxqs Rutaquio, costume design by Twinkle Zamora, lighting design by Johnsy Reyes, vocal coaching by ManMan Angsico and musical direction by Jojo Malferari.
