Christian Bautista & Karylle spread Love & Laughter

MANILA, Philippines - Christian Bautista and Karylle exhibited undeniable chemistry in the musical West Side Story and the international TV series The Kitchen Musical, but the two singers never had the chance to work in a concert together. This Feb. 29, their tandem debuts on the concert stage with Love & Laughter, a post-Valentine cum Leap Year show, at the Newport Performing Arts Theater at the Resorts World in Manila. The concert is produced by Resorts World, in cooperation with Ultimate Entertainment and Stages Talents.

“Karylle and I have worked together in so many gigs, even before,” says Christian. “But doing this post-Valentine concert with her is something new and very exciting to the both of us.”

Karylle played leading lady Maria to Christian Bautista’s Tony in STAGES’ staging of West Side Story, where the two received glowing reviews both as individuals and as partners.

“Christian and I are so alike in so many ways,” admits Karylle. “We have always been good friends and I am excited to do this show with him and the other talented artists who will join us.”

Christian and Karylle will dish out memorable love songs of different themes in the show — from falling in love to heartbreak to reconciliation and moving on.

Nanette Inventor, known for her hilarious skits, will give the show a funny dimension.

“The Leap Year only happens once in every four years,” says the veteran comedienne. “So the concept of this concert is also a rarity. With the immense talent of Christian and Karylle, I am sure viewers will fall in love and travel back in time with such beautiful love songs that they will perform.”

Opera Belles and Primo are also guests of the show.

Tickets may be purchased at the Resorts World Manila Box Office located at the main casino entrance or at all Ticketworld outlets nationwide.
