[WATCH] Rappler Live Jam: Cast of ‘Sandosenang Sapatos’
MANILA, Philippines – Filipino theater fans and kids at heart, this one’s for you! The cast of the award-winning musical Sandosenang Sapatos is coming to Rappler Live Jam on Thursday, October 31!
Based on the children’s book by Luis Gatmaitan, Sandosenang Sapatos follows Susie, a young girl who was born without feet. Her father is a renowned shoemaker who dreams of having a ballerina for a daughter. On each one of Susie’s birthdays, she is transported into a world where a Shoe Fairy (Diwata) grants her lower limbs, which gives her the ability to dance as much as she pleases. Every time she returns to the ordinary world, however, she loses her feet and must grapple with her father’s disappointment.
The musical previously won the Outstanding Production for Children and Outstanding Costume Design titles at the 14th Gawad Buhay Awards.
Ahead of the show’s rerun from November 15 to December 8, catch cast members Felicity Kyle Napuli and Wincess Jem Yana (Susie), Tex Ordoñez-De Leon (Nanay), Mica Fajardo (Ate Karina), and Marynor Madamesila (Diwata) perform songs from the musical at the Rappler HQ.
