School loyalty or family loyalty? Rivalry: Ateneo-La Salle The Musical review by Joy Wong
Excerpt from a review by Joy Wong: School loyalty or family loyalty?
Rivalry: Ateneo-La Salle The Musical has proven how creative and clever Filipinos are. Even if the setting of this musical is set on 1968…the rivalry between these two schools can still be seen on the television every time they face each other in the UAAP basketball game. If Filipinos can act, sing and dance well to foreign shows, they definitely can act, sing and dance way better to an original Filipino show such as this because this is what they are familiar to.

Building on the future of Philippine theater By Annie Alejo | Manila Bulletin
Excerpt from an insightful review by Annie Alejo: Building on the future of Philippine theater | Manila Bulletin
When asked about the future of local theater, Gatchalian minces no words. “I don’t think that the local is gonna get anywhere… without your help, without the help of the audience.” For him, fear of failure aside, venturing into original productions—however costly—would be the best way to “expand the market.”
Pinky Webb Interviews “Rivalry: Ateneo – La Salle the Musical” Creators at Mornings@ANC
The creators of Rivalry: Ateneo – La Salle the Musical, Ed Gatchalian, Jaime del Mundo and Joel Trinidad, guest at Mornings@ANC. Athena Tibi, Jeremy Aguado and Red Concepcion perform a song from the musical, “What If,” at the end of the interview.
Pinky Webb: Is this something that will interest people outside La Salle and Ateneo?
Joel Trinidad: I think that if you–any musical–you go to see a musical, you want to see a good story. You want believable characters. You want to get a little bit kilig, mga laugh. You want really good songs. And that’s what it is. It’s like you watch “Miss Saigon.” It’s not about the Vietnam War. That’s the backdrop.
Pinky Webb: It’s about, what, falling in love…fighting for love.
Joel Trinidad: Exactly!

As with any play, in the first 5- 10 minutes, it is the responsibility of the cast and crew to whisk you away to the era and inner personas of the characters. There will be cringing! But after a few, when the music sets in, and the kolehiyala Miriam girls start to sing about wanting to get ligaw by a La Sallista, that’s when the entertainment begins.
The play is set in 1968. This being the time of our Papas, Mamas, Titos and Titas, but you will find many a scene that you can relate to. #kilegmoments
Music is by Ed Gatchalian. I specifically enjoyed the numbers of kolehiyalas and the housewives. You will be delightfully surprised, I promise.
Rivalry: Ateneo-La Salle competition continues in a Musical By Ely Valendez
Excerpt from a review by Ely Valendez: Rivalry: Ateneo-La Salle competition continues in a Musical
As I watch the Rivalry, I couldn’t help myself but compare the actors’s behaviors to my friends and office mates from La Salle and Ateneo, and basing only on my interactions with them. Then I sent my former boss, an Atenean a text message to watch the show. Am sure, he wouldn’t be disappointed especially if I would base it on the rounds of applause and laughs that filled the theater when I watched the show on February 16.
This writer is neither an Atenean nor Lasallite so it’s given if I couldn’t relate about the jokes and the story. But no, I didn’t feel I’m not part of the story, instead, I was ushered to this funny part of the Philippine history, with great acts and musicality as a background.
