In over two years, the musical play Changing Partners received multiple success in both theater and film. And just this past May, the hardworking men and women of the said musical returned to PETA Theater in Quezon City for a two weekend-run.
And even if we argue of some minor miscues on technicalities during its inaugural re-run, the actors and actresses still did a solid job in distinguishing the differences between the past and present of the characters. It's not just showing a typical phase of one's evolution, but also (or rather) displaying a thin line among the two personas Alex and Cris. The transition between actors were seamlessly smooth that I'm not wondering why Changing Partners isn't called as one for nothing (aside from the obvious switches).
A run of seventy-five minutes (without intermission) seems short for a typical music-driven play, but with the case of Changing Partners the duration feels so stacked with a lot of punchlines and feels along the way – even if most likely that songs will be more remembered during the act itself than any potential recalls thru Spotify.
No doubt, the restaging of Changing Partners as a full-length stage musical has been one of the best in recent memory.
The Verdict: 9
