Star Magic’s first Spotlight press conference set the tone for the year, highlighting its theater artists whose remarkable performances continue to elevate the local stage scene. 
Among them is Jordan Andrews from Star Circle Batch 15, who first captured public attention during PBB Kumunity Season 10 Celebrity Edition. Since then, Jordan has steadily built a strong theater portfolio, to name a few, Ang Huling El Bimbo, Tabing Ilog: The Musical, Joseph the Dreamer, and Shrek The Musical. 
This year, he was part of Re-Orient: Narratives From Asian Voices (Play 1 – Stage Reading) and is set to appear in A Chorus Line this March.
“Papunta na yung Manila to being the Broadway of Asia. I love that kasi ang daming performers na Pinoy all around the world that are trying to find saan sila pwede to fit in with their talent. Here in Manila, you can stay here because the theater industry is growing and booming talaga,” Jordan shared, noting his gratitude for being part of the country’s growing theater scene.
Also part of Star Magic’s roster of theater talents is Omar Uddin, who never fails to demonstrate true talent across a wide range of productions. Some of his body of work includes Tabing Ilog: The Musical, Bar Boys, Next to Normal, and Delia D.
In 2025, Omar appeared in Quomodo Desolata Es? Isang Dalamhati, which returns to the stage this January 30. He is also set to take part in Spring Awakening this February. 
Talking about lessons from theater, Omar shared, “Pag-empathize sa ibang tao, lalong-lalo na sa sarili mo kasi, personally ako, minsan kakalimutan ko na kung sino ako sa dami ng roles na ginagawa ko. I would try my best to ground myself and remember who I am, how I really am, and learn from it.”
Another standout talent is Lance Reblando, whose work onstage and onscreen continues to connect with audiences. Her theater credits include Tabing Ilog: The Musical, Rent, Mula sa Buwan, and Walang Aray: The Musical where she made history as the first transwoman to portray the leading lady role of Julia.
Beyond the stage, she also appeared in the 2025 film Warla and is part of the series Love at First Spike.
“Sa bawat role na ginagampanan ko, hindi mo matatanggal yung lived experience ko as a trans woman. Kasi sobrang daming kinakaharap ng trans folks, lalo ng queer community, on a daily basis. So you get to see someone—me—play a role na off a trans experience,” Lance shared.
Anchored by artists like Jordan Andrews, Omar Uddin, and Lance Reblando, Star Magic’s roster of young theater talents reflects a collective standard of excellence—where discipline, talent, and purpose-driven performances take center stage.
