The Bluebird of Happiness follows the unforgettable adventure of poor kids Mytyl and Tyltyl search of a mythical creature called the bluebird of happiness. They are accompanied by their dog, their cat, and a candle in human form named “Light” who help them on their journey. Together, they explore wondrous and mysterious lands and meet interesting and enchanted characters in their quest for true happiness.
They visit “The Land of Memory” where they encounter their long dead grandparents, “The Palace of Night” where nightmares and horrors creep from dark corners, “The Forest” filled with trees who have a grudge against humans, “The Land of Luxury” that holds all kinds of riches and bounty, and “The Land of the Future” where sadness is unknown and “The Graveyard” where they must face their worst fears. Despite of all the places they visit they end up where they started and find that the “Bluebird of Happiness” is right in their own home.
“It will be an unforgettable, magical adventure for all families,” says Trumpets President Audie Gemora on why he chose this project to mark Trumpets’ musical comeback. “Trumpets prides itself with productions like The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, Joseph The Dreamer, Little Mermaid, among others. Now, we’ve found an apt material for our comeback and have assembled an artistic team composed of the finest artists in the local musical theater scene including director and librettist Jaime Del Mundo, composer Rony Fortich, musical arranger Mon Faustino, scenographer Mio Infante, lighting designer John Batalla, and choreographer Nancy Crowe.
Audie promises that The Bluebird of Happiness will have all the elements that made audiences love previous Trumpets productions.
The Bluebird of Happiness will start enchanting families at the Meralco Theater from September 27 to October 20, 2013.
