Namesakes of the world’s famous mouse are directing Tale as Old as Time tomorrow at 8 p.m. and on Sunday at 3 p.m. at Kia Theater.
Mickey Muñoz, head of ABS-CBN Events, takes charge of stage direction while Mickey Perz, PBB 2007 2nd Big Placer and a full-time choreographer, is in charge of movement.
The two met 10 years ago when Muñoz was part of the Pinoy Big Brother team that auditioned Perz in Milan, Italy.
Muñoz had previously stage directed The Music of Ryan Cayabyab at the CCP Main Theater (2014), “The Magic of John Williams Theater at Solaire (2015) and most of the shows involving the ABS-CBN Orchestra.
Perz was a part of ASAP and other ABS-CBN specials as dancer and choreographer and had acting assignments for TV and movies.
“Mickey Perz was choreographer for one of our recent big concerts and his fun-filled but firm teaching skills plus his excellent ability to tell a good story through dance impressed us a lot,” Muñoz muses. “I guess we work well together as we are both optimistic, whimsical, sometimes aggressive coupled with a little bit of mischief – traits that are common as well with Mickey Mouse”.
