A celebration of friendship forged since childhood is the essence of The Next Attraction that becamea hit on July 4 at the Music Museum.
The concert featured Isabella (daughter of Philippine Pop Diva Kuh Ledesma), Paolo Valenciano (son of Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano), Robin Nievera (son of Concert King and Queen, Martin Nievera and Pops Fernandez), and Karylle Yuzon (daughter of Divine Diva Zsa Zsa Padilla) who have been friends since they were little kids and have grown up in and around showbiz and the music industry.
Taking their personal friendship and making it the core theme for the concert, the successfully staged Next Attraction was highlighted by their individual performances, group numbers and, not surprisingly, a who’s who of the local music industry as guests.
The show, directed by Paolo Valenciano and with musical direction by Robin Nievera, proved how the foursome has stepped out of their parents’ shadows and come into their own. Such was the reception to the show that it warranted a restaging.
Billed Next Attraction: The Repeat, it will be held at the same venue, Music Museum, on Aug. 14 and 15.
Karylle, who will sing her hits including “Sa’Yo Na Lang Ako,” will corner the pop genre. Isabella, will bust out not just an original song as well as some jazzy tunes and her own take on several classics.
Robin showcases his “Indie-acoustic rock” influences with his guitar-based originals, while Paolo revisits his rock roots in his solo numbers including some of his originals.
One of the most well applauded numbers in the original staging was the so-called “Parents medley,” where the headliners take a shot at their respective parent’s hits. In this particular segment, the biggest treat will be the duet between Karylle and Paolo on “Could We,” a song performed together by Zsa Zsa and Gary V.
The fans can look forward to the special number that brings together the four performers in a fitting show closer that perfectly blend their individual talent and reinforces the thought that the future of OPM is here and in good hands.
Next Attraction: The Repeat will be at the Music Museum, 8 p.m. on Aug. 14, and 15. The show is sponsored by Sun Life Financial, Jet 7 Bistro, and 106.7 Energy FM.
The Aug. 14 show is for the benefit of the college scholars of Mayor Leon C. Arcillas Foundation, Inc. headed by Sta. Rosa Mayor Arlene Arcilla.
