Theater Review: Camp Rock The Musical by Repertory Philippines


Camp Rock instantly became a big hit when it was released as a Disney Channel Movie in 2008 and  people still love it today. 

Starring Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers, the iconic film definitely wowed viewers with its wonderful music and great dance choreography. Now it has been made into a stage musical. Thanks to Repertory Philippines and its great cast and crew of young and talented people, Filipinos get to watch Camp Rock The Musical live at Onstage, Greenbelt 1 in Makati.


All the actors did a great job in the show because I saw how much time and commitment they gave just to bring people joy and happiness through the songs and dances. The main characters are composed of Morissette Amon (who plays Mitchie Torres), Nacho Tambunting, Markki Stroem, and Jef Flores (who play the brothers and band members of Connect 3), Hans Eckstein (as Brown Cesario) and Rem Zamora (as Axle Turner). Camp Rock The Musical is directed by Audie Gemora and co-directed by Topper Fabregas.



The show is very enjoyable to watch and will surprise people of all ages with great performances because the actors had to sing, dance, and act from one production number to the next. The story mixes scenes from both Camp Rock 1 and 2 and it's kind of cool. With a cast of 35 talented actors and singers, you wouldn’t believe how much work they have put into this big staging. 



All of the lights and audio visuals are very good. Congratulations to the people behind the scenes! The choreography was also so well put together that I felt like I wanted to dance with the actors on stage.
I am amazed at how everything fit together to make this one hell of a show. 


I'm familiar with Camp Rock and am glad they used the songs from the TV-Movie version like “It’s on”, “This is Me”, “Wouldn’t Change a Thing”, and more. Go watch before the show run ends on December 16. I'm sure you'll have as much fun as I did.
