Cinderella in Manila: Christian Bautista and Karylle Bring Magic to Life!

I have already raved about Cinderella in Manila after I covered the press preview of the show for When in Manila; so what I’m going to do today is merely confirm that, yes, Cinderella in Manila is worth every penny.

As always, Resorts World Manila brings us a captivating and astounding show through Cinderella in Manila, successfully bringing real magic into the Newport Performing Arts Theater with their awesome special effects, great sound system and mind-boggling David Copperfield-like “magic tricks”. Just wait for the fairy godmother bit in Cinderella in Manila and keep your eyes peeled to see what I mean! 😉

Another major part of the Cinderella in Manila‘s success, though, is the chemistry between Christian Bautista and Karylle Tatlonghari in the roles of Prince Christopher and Cinderella, respectively.

It is clear right from the very start that there is a certain comfort and ease between the two from having worked together in the past, and their cheesily romantic scenes became even more cheesy, romantic and kilig because of it.

I even learned how to capture a prince’s heart just by watching Cinderella in Manila during the Gala Night the other night.

Cinderella in Manila: A Step-by-Step Guide on Winning Over Your Prince

1. Make a grand entrance when you know you will be seeing your “prince” – preferably in a stunning dress that will make everything and everyone else seem to move in slow motion when he sets his eyes on you.

2. Impress him with your dancing skills, but try not to snort when he says something funny. Also, do not laugh when he says nothing at all.

3. Try to find something that you have in common, like that feeling of being trapped because of the restrictions that your family tends to put on you. Finish his sentences, too.

4. Flash a gorgeous Karylle smile as you look deep into his eyes and have cheesy lines at the ready.

5. Leave a lil bit of yourself behind to keep him wanting more. Doesn’t necessarily have to be a glass slipper, of course. :p
