Five Reasons Why You Must Watch Chuva Choo Choo: The Mr. Kupido Musicale

Mr. Kupido Bar

(1) Full Pack Entertainment – Have you ever been in a comedy bar? No? Then you’ve got to see this. Yes? Oh, this is much more than your usual comedy bar. While this is an Original Filipino Musical, you can see elements of it being a comedy bar where the casts impersonate and cross dress, humorous skits of comedic lines, and great song and dance performances. But what makes this special is that it is a full-length, continuous 3-hour play, with no single dull moment that even the stage hands have become part of the show. Just be ready to be filled with laughter all throughout the show.

The colorful stage

(3) Familiar Melodies – any Filipino would know a song or two from this musical—of any ages, male or female. Of course, it features the lyrics of Mr. Vehnee Saturno and some of the hit songs included are Be My Lady (Martin Nievera), Sana Kahit Minsan and Simple Lang (Ariel Rivera), Isang Lahi (Regine Velaquez), Mr. Kupido (Rachel Alejandro), Bakit Pa? (Jessa Zaragoza), Wala Na Bang Pag-ibig and Dahil Tanging Ikaw (Jaya). Almost all of the songs are love songs, but some songs have noticeable change in message. It is not necessarily a bad thing; in fact, it augmented the show’s purpose of delivering the love of family and friendship. With these, I am sure you can relate to any songs you know, and might want to sing along with it.
