Erik Santos said all is well between him and TV host Boy Abunda, who used to head the talent management group Backroom Inc. that managed his career for more than seven years.

Santos ended his business relationship with Backroom in August, and is now comanaged by ABS-CBN’s Star Magic group and Cornerstone Talent Management Center. Abunda said his talent agency had to release the singer because he “badmouthed Backroom and lied to some of our common friends.”

The singer said he patched things up with Abunda in a three-hour conversation last month. “I realized how much Tito Boy loves me, that what we had was beyond the talent-manager relationship. He’s been like a father to me and I’ll always be grateful to him,” Erik told Inquirer during the press launch at Manila Ocean Park of Atlantis Productions’ “Disney’s The Little Mermaid.”

When the story about their misunderstanding circulated, Erik decided to pay his former manager a visit. “I came alone,” the singer recounted. “I was nervous because I wasn’t sure he’d even let me in. It was painful to talk at first, especially for me. Eventually the conversation became light and touching.”

Erik is open to the possibility of returning to Backroom Inc. Meanwhile, he said, “I can always call him, even consult with him. He said we could still talk as close friends.”

With his career happily on auto-pilot, Erik is often asked about his love life. “I’m searching,” he admitted. “Should God give me someone special now, I hope she’s for keeps.”

Erik plays Prince Eric to Rachelle Ann Go’s Ariel in “Disney’s The Little Mermaid,” a musical based on the animated 1989 film and the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairytale, ongoing till Dec. 11 at Meralco Theater in Pasig City.

What’s this project’s challenge for you?

First of all, ’di ako Inglesero. All throughout the show, I have to speak in English. Second, the style of singing is different. It’s metered. You cannot ad lib because all your speaking lines are measured, too.

Does this mean you’re ready to do acting full-time?

I did a few episodes for “Maalala Mo Kaya” and fell in love with acting. But I’ll continue to focus on singing and doing concerts because that’s my first love … what I think I do best. Theater is tough. The crowd is harder to please than the concert audience.

How did you prepare for this?

We’ve been rehearsing since October. I really need to take care of my voice. I follow my directors’ instructions. Direk Bobby (Garcia) and Direk Chari (Arespacochaga) have been very supportive of Shin (Rachelle Ann) and me, because this is our first time to do theater.

Do you feel pressured when people say you and Shin were cast for commercial “pull”?

My pressure comes from the fact that I’m doing this for the first time.

Busy singer’s favorite time is Christmas

The older you are, the longer your Christmas list. This is according to singer-actor Erik Santos, who says he gives over a hundred gifts to relatives, friends and godchildren.

Nevertheless, Christmas is Erik’s favorite time of year, though he gets stressed “going back and forth to the mall because I’ve forgotten someone.”

Yuletide in the Santos home begins in November, shortly after Halloween. This year, Erik says, members of the group Erik Santos Friends Online helped decorate the 12-feet-tall Christmas tree in the living area of his three-story residence in Novaliches, Quezon City.

“It took five people to finish it in a day. The decorations are a mix of the family’s old materials and gifts from fans,” Erik tells Living Stars.

“I like how it turned out,” he says of his supporters’ handiwork. “My father took care of the lights and decorations in the garden and facade.” Mounting a miniature Christmas village in a corner of the living area has been assigned to Erik. “I haven’t finished it. ‘Disney’s The Little Mermaid’ is keeping me busy,” he explains.

(Erik plays Prince Eric opposite Rachelle Ann Go’s Princess Ariel in the musical’s Manila staging by Atlantis Productions. It runs until Dec. 11 at the Meralco Theater in Pasig City.)

On Christmas Eve, the Santoses hear Mass, then have noche buena at home. On the table, unfailingly, would be their favorite dishes like kare-kare, paella, fried chicken, rice cakes and pasta. The opening of gifts is done on New Year’s Eve, says the singer.

“Godchildren come around on Christmas morning so we’re busy entertaining. We even have parlor games. In the afternoon, I go out to meet some college friends. Last year,” Erik recalls, “we drove to Tagaytay.” He says he spends the remaining days of the year out of town, with friends in the biz.

“Relatives and friends meet again here (at home) on the 31st. We make our own fireworks display just outside the house. There are more people here for the New Year celebrations than for Christmas. That’s how we’ve always liked it.”

“The Little Mermaid’ has got the sparks for Erik, Rachelle Ann
Gossip Girl
By GISELLE SANCHEZ
mb.com – November 30, 2011

MANILA, Philippines — Gossip Girl just heard from a fish in the sea that lead star of Little Mermaid Rachelle Ann Go is healing a broken heart. According to my sea urchin (did I say fish a while ago?), Rachelle Anne who happens to be a kapuso star was dating a kapamilya TV host just about the same size and age as she. But her broken heart did not at all affect her acting and musical performance as Ariel in Atlantis Productions of “The Little Mermaid.”

As I quote Ursula, her “vibrato, her legato, and even her belt” was impeccable! Even her eyes, which supposedly mirrors what a person really feels, were bright and gleaming with happiness and bubbliness just like Ariel in the Disney movie. I can say that she can be the next Lea Salonga. Even Lea Salonga herself said, “I don’t know that the superlatives in my vocabulary could cover just how wonderful I thought she was (Rachelle Ann Go).”

Erik Santos was grand and regal, very princely indeed. From our trip two years ago in Santorini, his diction in English has vastly improved and I was impressed.

Of course his voice is forever enchanting and powerful which is the reason why he was the grand champion of the very first “Star in A Million” in ABS-CBN. He is also very handsome so I am just counting the days when Rachelle Ann gets smitten by his gentleness and charming looks.

My daughter and I who both watched their performance actually got “kilig” on their kissing scenes when both their lips pressed. Erik and Rachelle Ann have a loving chemistry onstage that I am hoping can develop offstage.
 
And if it won’t, something in the universe must be wrong for these two perfect beings not to fall in love with each other!

As for the other characters, my hands and knees are bent to venerate your flawless performances. Directors Bobby Garcia and Chari Arespacochaga did a very good job blocking and directing the cast.

Jinky Llamanzares who portrayed Ursula blew my mind, body and soul! I have always wanted to do Ursula, that’s my dream role! So I have already plotted every step that Ursula will make. Every note and lyric that Ursula will belt or growl is already directed in my mind.

And so if the actress does not even come close to the Ursula in my mind, she will definitely have a bad review from me. Jinky Llamanzares freakin’ beat the actress in my mind in voice, action, diction and song! Fantastic!

I can definitely say that OJ Mariano, who portrayed the role of Sebastian, is a very good actor and a fabulous singer. He can actually belt high notes a la Earth, Wind and Fire style then go down on the other side of the scale showing his grand vocal range. However OJ was more concerned on his acting and vocal technique that he tends to forget to be loose and comedic which is what Sebastian is all about.

There was a moment in the play, though, that I caught the real Sebastian in him. It was the scene where he was teaching Ariel to pucker her lips so that she can kiss the prince and get her voice back.

Knowing OJ, once he reads this article, he can definitely adjust and just enjoy his role because Sebastian is the vital key for laughter in the “Little Mermaid.”

It is always understood that musicales in the Philippines can never beat the Broadway musicales funded by the Jews in New York. And so I call our productions a miracle and the people behind it, wizards!

Wizards because they can actually transform a meager budget into a fantabulous production. It was obvious that the production design had a working budget but they were able to transform Meralco into a visual feast for the audience.

Even the cheap animation and puppet effect actually worked and served its purpose! The costumes were fantabulous especially Ursula’s, although I kinda thought Flounder was a sultan prince of the Alladin musicale lost at sea.

The mermaid fins were a little disturbing at first. It made me hungry because it reminded me of giant prawns in my surf and turf dinner plate. But when Ariel would lie down or lounge in a certain angle, the fins actually work.

Of course we cannot expect a Filipino production to have everybody in harnesses floating onstage all the time. It would be a nightmare for the mermaids to be belting while being constricted with harnesses.

Thank you, Atlantis Productions, for making us children again. Thank you, Ceejay Javier, because your musical direction made me high the entire play.

I wish we could have more musicales like this in the Philippines. And once the Jews see the talents of the Filipinos and start investing in musicales in the Philippines, count me in! Plan to be the next Ursula.

“The Little Mermaid” runs in Meralco Theater till Dec. 11.

Giselle Sanchez is a singer, stand-up comedienne and corporate host. She will have a concert with the Acafellas on Dec. 9 at The Philippine Heart Center. For tickets please call Dr. Jhulliet at 09175070560. Follow her on Twitter (@GiselleXanchez) and Facebook (gossipgirlgiselle@gmail.com).

Photo Flash: Disney’s THE LITTLE MERMAID Opens in Manila
Thursday, November 24, 2011; Posted: 05:11 PM
Broadway World.com – by Oliver Oliveros

New York, November 24, 2011 — Manila-based theater company Atlantis Productions Inc.’s Asian premiere of Disney’s The Little Mermaid could have been a spectacular float addition in today’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in Times Square.

One shouldn’t wonder at Atlantis’ Disneyesque feat because The Little Mermaid’s co-director, Bobby Garcia (the other director is Chari Arespacochaga), happened to work at Disneyland Hong Kong as its entertainment director when the theme park opened in 2005. Needless to say, working on Disney theatrical materials is second nature to Garcia by now.

The original Broadway production of Disney’s The Little Mermaid, based on the 1989 2D animated film, which boasts the popular songs “Part of Your World,” “Under the Sea,” and “Kiss the Girl,” created by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, opened at Lunt-Fontane Theatre in 2008 and ran nearly 700 regular performances. Additional 10 songs, co-written by Menken and Glenn Slater, and a book by Tony Award-winning playwright Doug Wright have been incorporated into the stage adaptation, which garnered generally mixed reviews from critics.

Broadway’s The Little Mermaid had starred the talented, incandescent Sierra Boggess in the title role (Ariel); while Manila’s production has found a new ingénue in strong pop singer Rachelle Ann Go. Tony Award-winning actress Lea Salonga, who’s also a columnist in the Philippine Daily Inquirer, only had praises and raves for Go’s opening night (November 18) performance, “As for Go, I don’t know that the superlatives in my vocabulary could cover just how wonderful I thought she was. Bundles of charm oozed from her, as well as an easy sense of humor and adventure. Her voice was also a great mix of that clean and pristine Disney sound, plus a deep pop sensibility that made this score (and her Ariel) accessible to everyone. She was a perfect Ariel, and her portrayal will only continue to deepen and improve. She blew me away on opening night.”

Other standouts are powerful female vocalist Jinky Llamanzares as the evil sea witch, Ursula and 2011 BroadwayWorld Philippines Awards’ nominee OJ Mariano as the red Jamaican crab, Sebastian; as well as Eric Pineda’s around 150 gorgeous and intricate costumes whose unique Asian touches had to be approved by Disney Theatrical Group, no less. Go’s Ariel wears a pair of giant seashell sleeves that resembles the typical Filipiniana terno’s large, puffed sleeves. On the other hand, Calvin Millado’s King Triton, the Sea King and Ariel’s father, dons a traditional Balinese royal costume.

On the other hand, what the production lacks in expensive set pieces and flying harnesses, which are common currency in Broadway musicals nowadays, it makes up for with puppeteer-actors, who control wayang or shadow puppets, bunraku or traditional Japanese puppets, and nang kaloung or Cambodian puppets during certain parts of the show. By the way, merfolks are not strapped on rollerblades in this production!

Go, Llamanzares, Mariano, and Millado are joined by Erik Santos as Prince Eric (his professional musical theater debut), Lee Villoria as Flounder, Enrique Canoy as Scuttle, Felix Rivera as Flotsam, Jamie Barcelon as Jetsam, Raymond Concepcion as Grimsby, and Juliene Mendoza as Chef Louis.

The Little Mermaid also features ch

oreography by Cecile Martinez, set design by Lex Marcos, lighting design by Jay Aranda, puppetry design and execution by Liz and Benny Batoctoy and Sam Fuentes, projection design by GA Fallarme, musical direction by Ceejay Javier, vocal coaching by Manman Angsico, and production management by Liza Camus.

Catch the show’s last three weeks (it runs until December 11) at Meralco Theater. For tickets, visit www.atlantisproductionsinc.com.

Little Mermaid’s many more lives to live
By Bibsy M. Carballo
The Philippine Star
November 25, 2011

MANILA, Philippines – Despite having grown up with Disney characters Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Mickey Mouse, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh, Lion King, the Princess and the Frog all associated with Disney in one way or another, we had by some quirk of fate never been exposed to the delightful story of Disney’s The Little Mermaid. We were, therefore, entering an unfamiliar territory watching Atlantis Productions’ version of it at the Meralco Theatre until Dec. 11.

Directed by Bobby Garcia and Chari Arespacochaga, the production is said to be among the first stagings of the musical since its Broadway run in 2008. Bobby says they decided to stage The Little Mermaid over a year ago when informed that rights would be made available to Atlantis. Based on Disney’s animated film, in turn based on Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale, it tells of mermaid Rachelle Ann Go as Ariel willing to give up her life under the sea to gain the love of a human Prince Eric played by Erik Santos. The Atlantis version has utilized traditional Asian design elements in the Undersea, and Western design in the World Above.

The musical opens with Prince Eric on a ship, and Mermaid Rachelle Ann spending time in (The World Above) instead of the undersea celebration of dad Calvin Millado as King Triton who had defeated evil sister Ursula, amazingly played by Jinky Llamanzares.

Act 1 deals with Rachelle’s fascination with the human world (Part of your World), as she falls for Erik whom she saves after his ship crashes, and gives up her voice to Jinky (Poor Unfortunate Souls) for three days as a human. In Act 2, Rachelle is palace guest of Erik (Beyond my Wildest Dreams) but he must kiss her before she regains her voice. Erik is attracted to this mute girl and teaches her to dance (One Step Closer), but haunted by the voice he heard after his shipwreck and swears he must find her. In the end, they rediscover each other, Jinky is destroyed after Calvin offers himself in Rachelle’s place, and Calvin lets his daughter go to her new life as a human (Finale).

The musical is most engaging and while Jinky is the crowd favorite, the kids in the audience love the puppets and undersea creatures (Under the Sea), and one of our favorites is Chef Louis portrayed by Julienne Mendoza (Les Poissons).

We are especially interested in the character of Calvin as the King of the Undersea. He mentions something about remembering her mother to Rachelle when speaking of his distrust of humans. We searched for explanations on the Internet and found it in a prequel released by Disney in 2008 titled The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning when Ariel, the Mermaid spent happy times with her mom Queen Athena who was kidnapped by pirates, after which the King banned all music or mention of humans from his kingdom. We would have wanted a song from Calvin reminiscing happy times. That would explain his bitterness and strictness with his daughter. It would make his sacrifice of taking Rachelle’s place even more admirable, and his love for his daughter priceless when he gives permission for her to marry a human.

We think of Erik and Rachelle Ann, champions in mainstream music competitions, who are into their first theatrical roles. We admire their guts and gumption as well as that of producer director Bobby Garcia for putting his reputation on the line. “No problem at all with schedules,” Bobby clarifies. “We made it clear from the beginning that we don’t allow absences or tardiness. Both Rachelle Ann and Erik have been real pros. They are always early. Never missed a rehearsal. And always prepared. They have worked so hard on the show and I am so proud of their performances.”

Of course, the two newcomers have much to learn from their co-stars. They obviously have the vocal instruments for theater and initial feedback from co-workers indicate that they are fast learners with the interest and humility to work on in-depth understanding of their roles.

In 1989, the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale was adapted into an animated film by the Walt Disney studio called The Little Mermaid. The film is credited for breathing life back into animated feature films, and marked the start of an era known as the Disney Renaissance. Meantime, Beauty and the Beast, another animated Disney film was released in 1991 based on a French fairy tale of a prince transformed into a Beast who must win the love of a Beauty named Belle, or will remain a Beast forever. The music of the film was composed by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, both of whom had written the music and songs for Disney’s The Little Mermaid.
Later, Disney experienced the difficulty of having had to open these two commercial and critical Disney properties on Broadway at the same time that would divide audiences and cause competition between the two shows. They solved it by officially opening running Beauty and the Beast from 1994 and 2007 for 5,464 performances to become Broadway’s eighth-longest running production in history. The Little Mermaid subsequently opened on Broadway January 2008 closing August 2009 after 685 performances and 50 previews.

The Little Mermaid is one of the most popular stories transposed into various forms. Among them are an opera with music by Dvorak performed in Prague; a French three-act opera version called La Petite Sirene; an American Classics Illustrated Junior comic book series published in 1950; a TV version starring Shirley Temple as the Mermaid; a 1966 animated movie with Hans Christian Andersen played by Paul O’Keefe, and the voices of Burl Ives as Father Neptune, Hayley Mills as The Little Mermaid and Tallulah Bankhead as the Sea Witch; even a song called Little Mermaid in the repertoire of the Japanese Jazz-Fusion Band The Square. Animé adaptations are also found in Russia, Japan and the NHK 1991 TV series Saban’s Adventures of the Little Mermaid.

As The Little Mermaid continues its conquest of different mediums, we are most certain it will have more lives to live.

The Manila production of Disney’s The Little Mermaid takes a new approach to the musical, incorporating Eastern and Western styles of design and puppetry to delineate its unique worlds.

Bobby Garcia, who has staged Next to Normal, Xanadu and Avenue Q for Atlantis Productions, directs The Little Mermaid alongside Chari Arespacochaga. The production will run Nov. 18-Dec. 11 at the Meralco Theatre.

Here is a look at the production:

The Manila engagement is among the first stagings of the musical since its Broadway run in 2008. The Little Mermaid will make its U.S. regional debut in June at the Tuacahn Amphitheatre and Center for the Arts in Utah. A U.S. national tour had been announced, but never surfaced. Music Theatre International licenses the property, which has also been producers internationally in Tel Aviv and Denmark.

Garcia and Arespacochaga have conceived a production in which the undersea kingdom will be designed using traditional Asian elements and the above-water world will be Western in theme. The Little Mermaid will incorporate puppetry ranging from Wayang shadow play, bunraku, nang kaloung and Western hand puppetry. Liz and Benny Batoctoy and Sam Fuentes will design and create the puppetry for the production.

The Little Mermaid in Manila features Ann Go and Erik Santos, as Ariel and Prince Eric, respectively. Also in the cast are OJ Mariano as Sebastian, Calvin Millado as King Triton, Jinky Llamanzares as Ursula,Ikey Canoy as Scuttle, Lee Viloria as Flounder, Felix Rivera as Flotsam and Jamie Barcelon as Jetsam.

The production boasts choreography by Cecile Martinez, set design by Lex Marcos, costume design by Erik Pineda and lighting design by Jay Aranda.

The Little Mermaid features songs penned by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman for the Disney film (“Part of Your World,” “Under the Sea,” “Kiss the Girl,” among others) as well as ten new tunes by Menken and Glenn Slater. Doug Wright (I Am My Own Wife, Grey Gardens) wrote the book.

Under the spell of ‘Little Mermaid’
By: Lea Salonga
Philippine Daily Inquirer
November 23, 2011 | 7:08 pm

I brought Nicole out for a mommy-daughter date to the theater last Friday, the opening night of Atlantis Productions’ mounting of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” at the Meralco Theater.

All of us in the family have seen the Disney film on which the stage version was based. But we haven’t seen the stage production, so I jumped at this opportunity.

From the moment the music played (under the excellent musical direction of Ceejay Javier), we were magically transported to this kingdom under the sea.

The plot is similar to that of the movie, besides moments that would have been impossible to stage (there is no shark chase here, nor is there a gigantic Ursula).

New songs by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater (the same team behind “Tangled and Sister Act: The Musical”) were added, which seemed to blend seamlessly enough with the original tunes from the film.

This stage version stars Rachelle Ann Go as Ariel, Erik Santos as Prince Eric, Jinky Llamanzares as Ursula, OJ Mariano as Sebastian, Calvin Millado as King Triton, Ikey Canoy as Scuttle, Felix Rivera as Flotsam, Jamie Barcelon as Jetsam and Raymond Concepcion as Grimsby.

Add to that a mix of Atlantis, Repertory Philippines and Trumpets/Stages regulars with a few fresh faces, and you have a very strong, principal-player quality ensemble.

The way the show was orchestrated, I swore you heard far more than the number of players who were actually in the pit. The sound was rich, bright and full. Kudos, too, for the sound design team. There was only one crackle the entire night, and even then it wasn’t disturbing.

Inventive

The sets and costumes were beautiful and inventive. I loved the “Kiss the Girl” scene—where fireflies, frogs and large birds came alive, creating a colorful and romantic atmosphere. “Under the Sea” was one big calypso party, with neon creatures and sea plants. The silhouette puppetry deserved praise as well.

I couldn’t ask for anything more from the performers. From ensemble to principal, each one was completely committed to creating this beautiful world. But of course I have my standouts.

Llamanzares rocked my world with her mind-blowing vocal skills as Ursula. Each time she opened her mouth to sing, I got so gigil at just how amazing she was, not to mention the bigness in her personality to actually make those humongous and unwieldy costumes come to life. Ang sarap kayang hagisan ng sapatos sa sobrang galing.

Millado was more than sufficiently regal as the ruler of the seas; Rivera and Barcelon were a lovely electric eel team (they were so clear that even my 5-year-old knew what kind of creatures they were supposed to be); Canoy was a really funny and endearing Scuttle (he was also great in “The Kitchen Musical,” now showing on Studio 23 and AXN); and Concepcion was a very dignified Grimsby.

Mariano was fantastic as Sebastian, although his Caribbean accent found itself in Ireland and Scotland once in a while. Kudos to the six princesses, too, each for being so unique whether they were on land, or in the ocean. To the male ensemble, you were all muy macho.

Improved diction

Now, for the two artists making their musical theater debuts. Santos has vastly improved in his English diction. It is clear that for “Mermaid,” he put in a lot of hard work, which was beautifully on display here, especially when he sang. There is still room for improvement, but he has made great strides in the right direction. And yes, he actually can act, too!

As for Go, I don’t know that the superlatives in my vocabulary could cover just how wonderful I thought she was. Bundles of charm oozed from her, as well as an easy sense of humor and adventure. Her voice was also a great mix of that clean and pristine Disney sound, plus a deep pop sensibility that made this score (and her Ariel) accessible to everyone.

She was a perfect Ariel, and her portrayal will only continue to deepen and improve. She blew me away on opening night. Whatever management outfit, studio or record label is currently handling her needs to realize, if they haven’t already, just how big a treasure they have on their hands. Go is incredibly talented.

So run, drive, and yes, swim to “The Little Mermaid.” They have three more weekends at the Meralco Theater. If the standing ovation on opening night is any indication, they are in for a stellar run. Congratulations to the entire cast and crew, including co-directors Bobby Garcia and Chari Arespacochaga and choreographer Cecile Martinez. Break fins until December 11!

November 21, 2011

Last weekend I found myself, like my nieces and nephews, thoroughly enjoying The Little Mermaid at the Meralco Theater, Pasig. Everything about it — choreography, singing, acting, dialogues, plot and sub-plots, orchestra, sets, costumes, props, special effects, lights — made for great musicale. After presenting recently Next to Normal, Aida and In the Heights, Bobby Garcia and Chari Arespacochaga’s Atlantis Productions does it again.

The Manila staging of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic, as an off-Broadway version of Disney’s hit, runs till Dec. 11. Kids, bring your olds. Singing champions Rachelle Ann Go and Erik Santos debut in professional theater as Ariel and Prince Eric. Watch out too for the performances of stage veterans Calvin Millado as King Triton, Jinky Llamanzares as Ursula, and (my, ehem, inaanak) OJ Mariano as Sebastian.
