“Eto Na! Musikal nAPO,” a musical co-produced by Globe Live and 9Works Theatrical (9WT), added another feather to its illustrious cap as it went home as one of the biggest winners during the 11th Philstage Gawad Buhay Awards, the biggest local theater event of the year.
The hip, rip-roaringly funny musical comedy bagged a total of five major awards that include: Outstanding Musical Original Translation or Adaptation, Outstanding Original Libretto (Robbie Guevarra), Male Featured Performance in a Musical (Jon Abella), Male Lead Performance in a Musical (Jobim Javier), and Outstanding Sound Design (Rards Corpuz). This is the second year in a row that Globe Live and 9Works won Outstanding Musical and Male Featured Performance in a Musical awards, and the first musical stint of Jobim Javier who scored the Male Lead Performance in a Musical award. Last year, Globe Live and 9Works Theatrical’s ‘Newsies’ was also a big winner taking home Outstanding Production of Existing Material for a Musical, among others.
