Bossa-nova exponent Sitti takes on the role of Martha in Atlantis Productions’ staging of the Tony Award-winning musical Spring Awakening. The singer has followed the siren call of the theater stage before, having done a turn as Mary Walter in a one-night-only staging of Katy The Musical. This, coupled with acting work in various TV programs, has prepared the singer for the substantial material of Spring Awakening.
Based on one of the most controversial pieces of literature that was banned for 100 years, Spring Awakening is the tale of teenagers on the road of self-discovery. Written by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater, the musical is the winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
Spring Awakening also stars Joaquin Valdes and Miguel Mendoza, and runs from September 25 to October 18 at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza, Makati.
For tickets: Atlantis Productions, 892-7078 or 840-1187. Due to explicit content and some nudity, parental discretion is advised.
How did you the land the role of Martha in Spring Awakening?
Atlantis contacted me to audition for the role. Prior to that, though, I’d been telling my manager Boy Abunda that I really wanted to be part of a theater production. A few weeks after the audition, Atlantis contacted me again to say that I got the part, and they were just awaiting approval from Broadway.

Warner Music recording artist Sitti will play the role of a sexually abused woman in a theatrical production to be staged end of this year.
The Philippines’ Queen of Bossa Nova has accepted the offbeat role in a bid to have a solid acting background in her resume.
Sitti had previously appeared in ABS-CBN TV shows, “Your Song” and “Isabella.”
“I have so many emotions that my genre of music just cannot give vent to,” she told Manila Bulletin Online and other members of the press at a recent interview. “I, too, feel fear, anger, doubt and other things.”
Still, she tries to vary her moves. In her just-released fourth album, “Contagious,” Sitti remade songs by artists few would think she’d take on. These include Annie Lennox (“No More I Love You’s”), Culture Club (“Do You Really want To Hurt Me”), Sarah McLachlan (“Adia”), Hall & Oates (“One On One”) and Mike Francis (“Let Me In”).
The only original song in “Contagious” is titled “Is This Love,” written by Andrew Fromm of Christian Bautista’s “The Way You Look At Me”-fame.

The local queen of bossa nova music, Sitti digs other kinds of music genres, too, including rock.
An interview with Sitti revealed that she is a fan of rock bands Taken By Cars, Typecast, Urbandub, Brigada and Nyko Maca+Playground. She even goes to rock clubs, naming Ten02, Route 196 and Magnet Café as her favorite haunts.
Sitti jams with rock artists at times. She once performed impromptu with drum circle group, Brigada in Saguijo a couple of years ago.
The singer had recently moved to “diversifying” her sound by collaborating with pop singer Christian Bautista on the single, “Contagious.”
To showcase her eclectic taste in music, Sitti will headline “Friday Night Fusion” at Ten02 Bar on July 17. She will be joined by a diverse group of artists namely Layag, an upcoming fusion soul group; The Camerawalls, a three-piece band fronted by former Orange & Lemons member Clem Castro; Techy Romantics, a dance electronica trio; and Juan Pablo Dream, a mod and soul act fronted by ex-Put3Ska keyboardist, Bing Austria.
One of the most awaited songs in Sitti’s repertoire in “Fusion” is “Is This Love.” The song was written by Andrew Fromm and Keith Follesse of Christian Bautista’s seminal hit, “The Way You Look At Me,” and it is the current single from Sitti’s “Contagious” album under Warner Music.
For inquiries about the show, please ring 09178008336 or 09178451318.

I am spending Holy Week in Boracay with my partner Bong Quintana, my nieces Lani and Ethel, my nephew Jake, my friends Eric Santos and Leo Puri. Nanay is in our rest house in Lipa, Batangas, while my sister Mana Fe decided to stay in Borongan, Eastern Samar. Nanay who stays most of the time in Borongan was not keen in going to Boracay. In Lipa, she is close to the church of Our Lady of Mediatrix where she often goes to pray. And she’s surrounded with an abundance of beautiful flowers and green plants she enjoys talking to, and she will have enough space for her morning walks. Boracay was a last-minute choice for us. I love Boracay during Holy Week because I can do both — pray and play. Where are some of our friends/celebrities going to this Holy Week and if they were to ask for forgiveness for one sin what would it be?
Dulce: We’re spending it in Villa Escudero. It is bonding time for us. As a believer of Jesus Christ, we all know that all sins are forgiven when we receive Jesus as personal savior and the Lord. It’s like singing, “Ako ang nagwagi, ang kasalanan ko’y kanyang binawi. Ako ay pinatawad niya, tunay na malaya na.”
Bobby Garcia: I am spending it with the family enjoying the quiet of Manila. Maybe go to Tagaytay for a few days. If I were to ask forgiveness, it would be for sometimes asking for more when already God has blessed me with so much.
Mariel Rodriguez: I am in Singapore during the Holy Week. My good friend lives there and it’s good to see old friends.
Sitti: I went whale shark watching in Donsol. I am spending the remainder of Holy Week at the Family home in Las Piñas like we always do. I would ask God to forgive me for all the sins I have committed, for the moments of self centeredness and all those times when anger, resentment, and ungratefulness resided in my heart.
