A Parokya Ni Edgar musical is in the works!

During the curtain call of “Ang Huling El Bimbo” at the Newport Performing Arts theater, the full cast sang Parokya’s classic hit “Harana.” As they were performing, symbols flashed on the screen behind them, representing some of the OPM band’s top hits.

These include a guitar for “Harana,” a pizza for “Picha Pie,” a mustache for “Mr. Suave,” beer bottles for “Inuman Na,” and a chicken for “Chikinini.” The text “Abangan 2024” then appeared onscreen.

Dingdong Novenario, writer of the “Ang Huling El Bimbo” musical, shared a video of the performance on Facebook.

“Reveal yourself!!!” he wrote in his caption, but added that he will not be writing the upcoming musical.

“AHEB” ensemble member Red Nuestro also reposted the video on Facebook and shared that the first 200 people to guess the next musical will win tickets to the special preview.

Parokya vocalist and “The Voice Generations” judge Chito Miranda reacted to the performance on Instagram, saying, “Ginawa nila 'to during the final curtain call ng ‘Ang Huling El Bimbo[.’] Nakakakilabot.”

“Ang Huling El Bimbo” follows a group of four friends, who navigate university life. Later on as adults, their past gives them problems with their work and personal lives.
