Kung Paano Ako Naging Leading Lady
The Musical
Created by Carlo Vergara
Music and Lyrics by Vincent de Jesus
Direction by Chris Martinez
Due to insistent public demand, Kung Paano Ako Naging Leading Lady the Musical will be back! This time, in Makati!
In a world not too different from our own, the common folk go about the routine of their daily lives --- making money, raising families, dealing with problems, falling in and out of love. Their dry existence, however, is occasionally punctuated by the appearance of the greatest defenders of the Republic, Fuwerza Filipinas, a corporate-sponsored band of six superhumans.
Somewhere in the city of the common folk, Mely Moran tries to make ends meet. Mely eventually gets a job, but it is unlike any job she could ever hope to have. She finds herself in the vast headquarters of Fuwerza Filipinas, who has chosen her to be the superheroes' one and only househelp. Her sister, Viva, on the other hand, believes that she is meant for greater things. She gets hired as well, for a job that promises her the kind of prestige she has long been dreaming of. The job, however, will require her to enter the Fuwerza Filipinas headquarters, as she is made to believe that the superheroes aren't the supreme defenders they project themselves to be.

REVIEWS
"To the entire cast, crew, producers and creative team of 'Leading Lady,' my most heartfelt congratulations, not only for a great show on a Sunday afternoon, but for offering us a glimpse into what is possible in the future, where the original Pilipino musical is seen as just as, if not more, fantastic face to face with shows from Broadway or the West End. And we can proudly call it ours." - Lea Salonga (Philippine Daily Inquirer)
"…Kung Paano Ako Naging Leading Lady feels like a celebration. The show ultimately presents its audience with a relatively more immersive experience of the superhero narrative that a movie, TV show, or comic book just cannot provide." - Christian Lubag (ABS-CBN)
"Dalanghita Productions’ Kung Paano Ako Naging Leading Lady is definitely one of the most important original Filipino musicals, if not a landmark local theater performance." - Ibarra Mateo (GMA News Online)
"If local contemporary musical theater is a ball game, the ongoing Dalanghita Productions’ Kung Paano Ako Naging Leading Lady, the Musical has a dream team...The production company, the actors, the people behind the stage, all the names involved, even the audience laughing all the way, yes everything in Leading Lady is 'Malaki.'" - Totel V. de Jesus (Inquirer.net)
"Kung Paano Ako Naging Leading Lady is funny, extremely enjoyable, and settles itself very comfortably in the super-hero genre without ever sacrificing its musical theater structure and works effortlessly on both levels. It brings a fresh sense of unpredictability and surprise to its story that makes the show even more wonderful to experience." - Wanggo Gallaga (Juice.ph)
"Beautifully acted, spectacularly designed, and wonderfully choreographed, this new musical once again proves how great the Filipino Artist is." - Orly Agawin
"The whole production felt like watching a 3D action movie. The sound and music design created a good sensory atmosphere. The lights were moving the story and detailing each scene, creating one dimension to another as if living in a different part of the universe each time. The costumes are the bomb!" - Russel Legaspi (Curtain Call Manila)
"Kung Paano Ako Naging Leading Lady can easily rekindle one’s love for Philippine theater—the originality, the relevance, and the hard-hitting subtext, all punctuated by a colloquially hilarious mood and a campy so-Pinoy tone. It was like watching a Filipinized PG-rated Pixar cartoon come to life, bringing with it all the big guns of witty lines, an addictive musical score, and endearing characters." - Zo Aguila
"It managed to weave an intimate family drama between sisters with a superhero battle-royale if a much bigger scope, while delivering a positive message of recognizing your inner gifts and rising up to challenges. While doing that, it bridged both sides of the Philippine theater scene into one grand production." - Fred Hawson
