Finding the perfect Christmas gift can be a difficult task for many. How do you choose something meaningful, special, and unique for your family and friends? Luckily, Season Passes for the 2020 season of Repertory Philippines are now available for purchase, letting audiences enjoy an awesome line-up of world-class theater productions for up to 30% off. That includes the upcoming Broadway musical Carousel—touted by TIME Magazine as the greatest musical of the 20th century—which has the theater world buzzing.

REP’s new season has a lot in store for audiences, what with Liesl Batucan on her first year as REP’s Artistic Director. The season opens with The New York Times’ Critic’s Pick, Stage Kiss, which runs from February 7 to March 1, 2020. A witty romantic comedy, Stage Kiss stars Missy Maramara and Tarek el Tayech along with Robbie Guevara, Jamie Wilson, Andres Borromeo, Justine Narciso and Mica Pineda, and is directed by Carlos Siguion-Reyna.

From March 13 to April 5, 2020, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Anna in the Tropics plays for Manila audiences. A tale of intrigue and passion set in 1929 at a cigar factory in Florida, Anna in the Tropics is directed by Joey Mendoza and starring Joshua Spafford, Skyzx Labastilla, Paolo O’Hara, Brian Sy, Gab Pangilinan, Gie Onida and Madeleine Nicolas.

The highly anticipated Rodgers and Hammerstein Broadway musical Carousel runs from May 1 to 24, 2020. Directed by Toff de Venecia, Carousel promises a stellar, world-class musical show with a star-studded cast led by Nikki Gil, in her much-awaited theater comeback, and Gian Magdangal, who are working with REP for the first time.

Families get to enjoy REP Theater for Young Audiences’ musical Snow White and the Prince. A fun and colorful retelling of the classic fairy tale, Snow White gives kids a lot to sing and dance to. Running from September 12, 2020 to January 31, 2021, this children’s musical is directed by Joy Virata.
