SONG OF JOSEPH, THE MUSICALE

As a fitting preparation for the feast of St. Joseph, patron of the Universal Church, the Congregation of the Oblates of St. Joseph in cooperation with Music-Theater Foundation Philippines produced the greatly acclaimed musical, “Song of Joseph”, which was shown last year at the Cultural Center of the Philippines and Meralco Theater in Pasig City, Philippines. The month of October, Song of Joseph the Musicale, will be staged in Michigan. The musicale, sponsored by the University of the Philippines Alumni Association of Michigan , will be presented on Sunday, October 17, 2010, at 5 p.m. at the Seaholm High School Auditorium located at 2436 W. Lincoln St. , Birmingham , Michigan . General admission tickets are $10 per person. For further information, interested parties are asked to call Bayani Domingo at (248) 539-5940 or (248) 855-4508 or Dr. Milagros P. Reyes at (313) 886-5635. “Song of Joseph” is a religious music-theater master piece born out of love and devotion for the man who “took care of the interests” of Mary and Jesus. It is the life, the love and the glorious death of St. Joseph put into beautiful words and music. It depicts the enduring love of Joseph for Mary , its joys and sorrows and the reward of a glorious death for having lived faithfully his divine call to be Mary’s and Jesus’ protector. It doesn’t put words into Joseph’s mouth; rather it allows Joseph to express his mind and heart. It is the first original Filipino full-length musical on St. Joseph . Produced by Fr. Rony Alkonga, OSJ, of the Oblates of St. Joseph . Its lyrics and libretto are written by famed diva, Fides Cuyugan Asensio, while its music is by Raymond and Mar Jeanelle Roldan. Song of Joseph is a Michigan premiere, and features an all star, multi-talented cast, direct from the Philippines . Leading the cast as Joseph is Jon Joven, (Filipino gold medalist at the 2006 World Championship of the Performing Arts in Hollywood , California and overall Championship male solo, Broadway category). Lena McKenzie of the University of the Philippines Conservatory of Music plays the role of Mary, while young Jesus is played by James Uy. Focusing on the divinely inspired marriage of Mary and Joseph, the musical is syncretic. Its music “evolves from the strong classical tradition of the opening chorus” to Broadway-type solo and group renditions and culminates in strong rock beats. It is “bewildering in its pop-rock splendor”. It even has rapped songs that appeal to the young and young at hearts. It “captivates and amuses audiences of all ages and religious backgrounds”. It is produced primarily to promote the devotion to St. Joseph , the just and faithful husband of Mary and foster father of Jesus. It is highly recommended for husbands and wives. Couples who watched this musical have mirrored themselves in the roles played by Mary and Joseph and have rediscovered the “intense and endless” love they have for each other.
