    Sitti on a stretch

    Thursday, September 10th, 2009

    By Gab Fab / Jet Valle

    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.

    Getting a different high on stage acting

    Friday, September 4th, 2009

    By Boy Abunda

    Snippet …

    Tackling another important role in the musical play is bossa nova singer Sitti who will be setting aside her music as she plays Martha, who she describes as “simple at first, but really there is a lot of depth and character to her. She’s ultra conservative, obedient yet very brave and resilient.” It is a character Sitti sees in young people today and hopes to share with the greater public.

    Sitti has followed the siren call of the stage before, having done a turn as Mary Walter in the 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 the Tony Award-winning Spring Awakening. From all accounts, another chance at the stage is something she more than relishes.
