Manila, Philippines—Let’s warm up to hit Filipino musical “Ang Huling El Bimbo’s” (AHEB) third weekend of live performances at the Newport Performing Arts Theatre with the young cast’s rendition of “With a Smile,” one of the featured songs from the musical.

“With a Smile,” composed by the rock band Eraserheads’ frontman Ely Buendia, is a single from the band’s second album, “Circus,” released in 1994.

On the other hand, in the musical, which infuses the Eraserheads’ greatest hits into the storytelling, “With a Smile” is sung as a graduation hymn that opens Act Two, where the protagonists Hector, Emman, and Anthony complete their undergraduate education in a bittersweet tone.

In a pre-show during the recent gala night, understudies Jam Binay (Young Joy), Benedix Ramos (young Anthony), Khalil Tambio (Young Emman), and John MC Dela Cruz (Young Hector) were joined by Myke Salomon, musical director and arranger, and performed ‘With a Smile” to a thrilled audience, made up of celebrities, social media influencers, members of the press, and some VIP guests.
