MESA...
Quezon City, Dec. 25, 2001 (MALAYA) ATLANTIS Productions announces
the cast line-up of the first grand theatrical event for year 2002,
David Auburn's "Proof." To be directed by Bobby Garcia, "Proof" will
run at the GSIS Theater from Jan. 9 to 27, 2002, except Saturdays and
Mondays.
Heading the cast is Laurence Olivier and Tony Award-winning actress
Lea Salonga. After gaining acclaim for her latest musicale outing in
Los Angeles, "The Flower Drum Song," and her much-publicized guesting
in the top-rating "E.R.," Lea is excited to do a straight play. The
last non-musicale play she did was when was she was nine years old.
Lea Salonga plays Catherine in "Proof."
Joining the cast is the award-winning Michael de Mesa. Michael plays
mathematical genius Robert. Having appeared in numerous TV shows and
movies, Michael has decided to concentrate on theater again. His last
stage effort was "Rent," where he played Collins to critical acclaim.
Stage diva Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo is set to awe audiences again with
her theistic talent in 噗roof" as Claire. She has already appeared in
various straight plays and musicales, among them "Miss Saigon" and
"The Lion, The Witch and Wardrobe."
Joel Trinidad is also featured in "Proof" as Hall. He is also a
theater veteran and has appeared in a lot of plays in Manila and in
Singapore.
"Proof" is the current hot-ticket in Broadway and was just awarded a
Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize in the non-musicale category.
Written by Auburn, "Proof" tells the story of Catherine, daughter of
a mathematical genius who is afraid that she might have inherited her
father's dementia. The play also contains very strong language.
Parental advisory is recommended.
"Proof" is sponsored in part by Northwest Airlines, and Sommerset
Millennium Suites. For ticket inquiries, please call Atlantis
Productions at 892-7078.

Lea Salonga WON an Olivier AWARD, prior to her 2001 starring role in PROOF.
Sorry if I am the only one to have failed to catch the joke, but fail I did... and, worse yet, I humliated myself by writing to the production company in Quezon City, asking whether they had a recording of "the Olivier PROOF.." - so!
