Sam Concepcion to play Popoy in 'One More Chance' musical

Sam Concepcion will play the character of Popoy in the upcoming "One More Chance" musical featuring the songs of Ben&Ben.

The Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) made the announcement on Sunday along character posters of the cast.

The role was previously played by John Lloyd Cruz in the 2007 blockbuster film. Bea Alonzo meanwhile played Popoy's girlfriend, Basha.

Other cast members include Anna Luna and Nicole Omillo as Basha, Kiara Takahashi and Sheena Belarmino as Tricia, and Jef Flores and Jay Gonzaga as Mark.

PETA announced the musical in a curtain call of their "Walang Aray" show last October.

Previously, PETA said that the musical will run from April 12 until June 16. All shows will be held at the PETA Theater Center.

The "One More Chance" film is currently streaming on Netflix.

It tells the story of a young couple, Popoy and Basha, who have been together since college, promising to love each other forever. Years pass, and Popoy becomes an engineer while Basha becomes an architect. At some point, Basha feels suffocated in the relationship with the over-caring Popoy, leading to their breakup.
