Rating:	★★★★★
Category:	Music
Genre:	Soundtracks
Artist:	Various Artists, feat. Vince de Jesus

I've seen this stage musical about five times already. There is no doubt about its appeal and the fun I had while watching in each of those five times. The most recent one was the last show in the fourth and latest run.

In a near-miraculous stroke of events, I ended up watching the only show with composer/musical director Vince de Jesus playing the role of Ada. Tuxqs Rutaquio, the original Ada on stage was down with throat problems and was literally croaking. The last-minute replacement was Vince, who gamely essayed the role in a whirlwind of on-the-spot rehearsals.

Vince pulled it off. He's not the finely demure version that Tuxqs made it to be. Rather, Vince's Ada had more character, more of a fighter. He started off a bit tentative at the start, but only us ZZZ denizens would see that.

All in all, Zsazsa Zaturnnah Ze Musikal is still a riot. That accounts for the five times I've seen it. It's not a play for homophobes, mind you. It's a play that pokes fun on our love for superheroes and reminds us that gay people are people, just like you and me.
