Just in time for Pride Month, the streets of Makati were full of glitter, passion, and joy as Dalaga Na Si Maxie took the stage.
Presented by J+ Productions in collaboration with PETA Plus and Ticket2Me, and under special arrangement with the original filmmakers, this vibrant sequel brings back our beloved heroine set five years after her debut.
Taking center stage is Jamila Rivera, a breakout performer from Naga City, who shines as the teenage Maxie Oliveros. In heels and full drag fantasy, Jamila delivers a performance that is raw, radiant, and refreshingly real. She shares that this musical is an important piece as it represents a life of a young queer kid who dared to dream, love loudly, and live truthfully despite the odds.
Sharing the stage with her is a fierce and fabulous cast featuring some of the Philippines’ top drag superstars: Zymba Ding, Corazon, MRS TAN, and Winter Sheason Nicole. They are joined by equally talented theater actors Jem Manicad, Gerhard Krystoppher, and Gabriel Villaruel, adding even more heart and depth to the story.
Completing this line-up are the powerhouse ensemble Ado Villanueva, Air Paz, Gerald Magallanes, Honey Bravo, Jay Cortez, Marit Samson, Misha Fabian, and Robert Macaraeg. Each one will surely bring performance, passion, and presence to the stage.
Set an immersive environment; it blurs the line between audience and performance, pulling viewers into Maxie’s world from the gritty streets of Manila to the dazzling chaos of drag.
The show will continue until June 22, 2025, at Illumination Studio, Chino Roces, Makati, written by Julia Enriquez and Mikaundre Santos.
Celebrate Pride Month with a story that is bold, beautiful, and unapologetically queer. Catch Dalaga Na Si Maxie live on stage and witness Maxie Oh’s journey like never before.
