In a world where we often scroll past what truly matters, HAPHOW The Musical invites us to pause, reflect, and return to the values that ground us—humility, acceptance, patience, honesty, open-mindedness, and willingness.
This musical premiered last May 28, 2025, at The Theatre at Solaire. HAPHOW is more than just a musical. It’s a heartfelt reminder of who we are and who we aspire to be. This all-original, Broadway-style Filipino production brings to life a whimsical tale set in the forest of Kalinaw, where insect characters take center stage in a transformative journey of self-discovery, friendship, and purpose.
At the heart of the story is HAPHOW himself—played by acclaimed singer and stage performer Gerald Santos—a character embodying change, truth, and transformation. As he and his companions navigate the challenges of their magical world, audiences are gently reminded of the real-world struggles many, especially the youth, face today.
“We built HAPHOW to reflect emotional and moral challenges that resonate with audiences,” shares MJ Aspacio, the show’s director, playwright, and composer. “The narrative is simple, but its emotional depth is undeniable. We want people to leave the theater inspired to live with more kindness, patience, and compassion—for each other and for the environment.”
Backed by CityDanse Academy (CDA) Corp., the production champions a bigger mission: to make value-laden, high-quality performing arts accessible to families, schools, and communities. And this premiere is only the beginning. Plans for a national tour and school-based runs are already in motion, aiming to embed Filipino values into the hearts of a new generation.
Whether you’re a lifelong theater fan or a first-time viewer, HAPHOW The Musical promises an experience that speaks to the soul. It’s a reminder that values, like music, are timeless—and when sung with sincerity, they resonate across all ages.
