Christian Bautista Impresses Audience During West Side Story Sales Launch

Christian Bautista, who plays the male lead Tony, regaled the enraptured audience with his version of Maria during the West Side Story Manila sales launch on 21 May 2008.

What impressed the audience even more was the decision of Asia’s Pop Idol not to use the mike, and let his voice soar through the room.

Christian Bautista’s Tony will be foiled by West End star, Joanna Ampil, and local star Karylle Tatlonghari, daughter of chanteuse Zsa Zsa Padilla.

West Side Story Manila’s Opening Night To Be Graced By West End Star The opening night of West Side Story Manila will be graced by West End star Ms. Joanna Ampil, who will be playing Maria opposite Christian Bautista’s Tony.

    Hi Kim,

    Not to worry, West Side Story is opening on September.

    One sure way of catching Joanna Ampil is to watch on opening night. Click Fran’s link above and you’ll find the details. :-)

    And, Fran, we’ll probably watch on preview. :-(

    Is there any way to find out when Joanna Ampil will be Maria? (aside from the opening night)

    Hi, Cheska. I’m sorry but it’s industry practice not to release the schedule of alternating performers. Thank you very much for understanding.
