Rep’s The Great Christmas Cookie Bake-off!
REPERTORY Philippines (Rep) will be bringing holiday cheer to every home with the musical The Great Christmas Cookie Bake-off! which marks many firsts. It is the first Rep Theater for Young Audiences (RTYA) offering in over a year. It is also the first-ever Filipino production to be available on streaming platform Broadway On Demand. The musical is also the first in the country that is purposely filmed for an international online streaming service. To be shown from Nov. 12 to Dec. 12, The Great Christmas Cookie Bake-off! combines the time-honored tradition of Christmas cookies with the ever-popular phenomenon of reality baking competitions. It features eight young cookie chefs from all over the country who will battle it out for first prize at the Cookie Coliseum. As the chefs are eliminated one by one by three celebrity judges, feelings of intense rivalry give way to virtues of charity, family, and forgiveness. The show is directed by RTYA Creative Director Joy Virata. The musical’s cast consists of Becca Coates, Tim Pavino, Jep Go, Jillian Itaas, Luigi Quesada, Rachel Coates, Justine Narciso, Steven Hotchkiss, Carla Guevara Laforteza, Jamie Wilson, Arnel Carrion, and Hans Eckstein.
