Eugene Domingo

Theatre Group Asia (TGA) has announced that Famas and Aliw award-winning actress, comedian, and host Eugene Domingo will  play Jack’s mother (from Jack and the Beanstalk) in its production of Stephen Sondheim’s Into The Woods, set for August at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater (S-PAT).

Domingo says, “I am so excited to be a part of this popular and critically acclaimed musical as Jack’s mother. I love that the material is inspired by fairy tales yet reveals a realistic twist we can all relate to. I love all the surprises that come after the characters are all put together. This one entertains as much as it teaches.”

Olivier and Tony Award-winning actress Lea Salonga leads the cast as The Witch, and New York-based Fil-Am Broadway star Arielle Jacobs is Cinderella.

Into The Woods* is based on James Lapine’s book, who also directed the original Broadway run. The musical unfolds a fantastical backdrop where several beloved fairy tale characters’ paths intertwine. What ensues is a magical spectacle, dramatically portraying the impact and consequences of human choices and actions.

Behind this production of Into The Woods is Tony Award-winning visionary Clint Ramos, who serves as overall artistic director, stage and costume designer, and co-producer alongside John and Joanna Echauz, and S-PAT executive director Chris Mohanani. The show is directed by Chari Arespacochaga.
