| The show (as it was played at The Public) begins with a DJ, who is visible to the audience throughout the show, welcoming the audience to a karaoke nightclub and explains that karaoke was invented in The Philippines. Imelda Marcos was known for enjoying nightclubs and the show presents her and the other characters as performing karaoke. Many of the songs are staged with the performers holding microphones as if they're performing in a karaoke club. There is hardly any spoken dialogue in the show. The story is conveyed through projections and lyrics and the cast just goes from song to song, with staging that indicates that they and the audience are in a club. This is not simply deciding to use recorded music to save money. Using karaoke is a dramatic element of the storytelling. |
