The role of Annie Batungbakal was originally immortalized by Nora Aunor in the 1979 film of the same name. Decades later, the character is returning to the stage through a new musical inspired by the enduring songs of the legendary Manila Sound band Hotdog.
The production had initially been slated to premiere six years ago but was postponed after the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted theater productions and live entertainment.
Set against the energetic backdrop of Manila's disco scene in the 1970s, the musical follows Annie, a young woman who secretly explores the city's nightlife while chasing her dream of becoming a fashion designer. Throughout her journey, she encounters experiences that challenge both her ambitions and her sense of self.
Audiences can also look forward to hearing some of Hotdog's most iconic songs woven into the story. Among the featured hits are "Manila," "Pers Lab," "Beh, Buti Nga," "Panaginip," "O, Lumapit Ka," "Ikaw ang Miss Universe ng Buhay Ko," and the classic title track, "Annie Batungbakal."
“Bongga Ka Day!: The Annie Batungbakal Musical” is scheduled to open this September at the Newport Performing Arts Theater.
Atasha Muhlach is the daughter of veteran Filipino actor and endorser Aga Muhlach, who rose to fame after starring in the 1986 hit film “Bagets.” Aga later became known for lead roles in successful films such as “Sana Maulit Muli,” “Bakit Labis Kitang Mahal,” and “Miracle in Cell No. 7.” He is married to beauty queen Charlene Gonzalez, whom he wed on May 28, 2001. The couple has twin children, Andres and Atasha.
Recently, PETA President and PETA Plus Program Director Melvin Lee defended Atasha amid conversations about her role in "Bongga Ka Day!: The Annie Batungbakal Musical." He explained that Atasha was chosen for the lead role after passing the audition process, clearing up speculations about her casting. Lee also highlighted her talents in singing, dancing, stage performance, and her rapport with her co-stars. Veteran entertainment columnist Salve Asis later shared his statement on Instagram.
A few months ago, Atasha drew attention after she was seen once again with rumored boyfriend Jacob Ang, the son of San Miguel Corporation Chairman Ramon Ang. The two attended the wedding of Jacob’s sister, Carmela Ang, and Miguel Tan, where they appeared together in several photos, including one showing Jacob with his arm around Atasha. Although they have been spotted together on multiple occasions, neither Atasha nor Jacob has publicly confirmed the status of their relationship.
