A Spectacular Comeback Awaits
Rockitwell Studios and MusicArtes, Inc. proudly announce the highly anticipated return of their Original Filipino Musical, “Silver Lining – Redux,” scheduled to enchant audiences this November 2024 at the Carlos P. Romulo Theater.
A Journey Through Friendship and Dreams
“Silver Lining – Redux” follows the nostalgic journey of three high school friends as they navigate their carefree youth filled with soirees, backyard gatherings, and lively class parties. As they transition to university life at UP Diliman during the tumultuous 1970s, the story explores their dreams and challenges as they mature into adulthood and establish their families.
This new edition not only offers a charming glimpse into the baby boomer and flower power eras of the 1960s and 1970s but also weaves in contemporary issues, illustrating the resilience of hope and the promise of redemption amid life’s obstacles.
