~ Broadway Expert, Apple Podcasts
Amazingly-Thorough ★★★★★
Filmed Live Musicals: The Podcast is, like the website that it accompanies, amazingly-thorough, packed with info, insights, and creative inquiry, owing to the voluminous knowledge of the host, Luisa Lyons, and that of her fabulous guests. With the advent of the pandemic, the world of filmed live musicals has taken on a major role, as the theatre world explores alternatives to in-person attendance. As a result, the already-exciting landscape of great musical theatre to be found online (which Lyons’ database website can clue you into) is now even more-vital and important. All that aside, Luisa is a smart, clever, and charming host and her magnetic personality and love of the material bring out the best from her guests. If you love musical theatre, this podcast can’t be beat!

Rak of Aegis
Host Luisa Lyons chats with Maribel Legarda and Liza Magtoto, the director and writer of the hit Filipino jukebox musical Rak of Aegis.
Topics include the formation of the Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA), and how PETA operates and fulfills its founders’ mission to create a Filipino theater. We discuss the development of Rak of Aegis, why Maribel double cast the show, the significance of the incredible set, and why an audience member saw the show 21 times! We also take a look at how the show came to be streamed, and how the pandemic has changed thinking about streaming going forward.
Maribel Legarda is a multi-disciplinary director and the Artistic Director of PETA. As a Senior Artist-Teacher of the company, she has directed and choreographed major productions including “Care Divas,” “William,” and “Pamana”. Maribel has also conducted workshops for Dance, Women and Children’s Theater, both locally and internationally.
Liza Magtoto is a playwright and freelance scriptwriter, a member of The Writer’s Bloc and an artist-teacher of the Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA). Recent works include “Rak of Aegis,” “Rated PG,” “A Game of Trolls” and “Care Divas.” A recipient of Gawad Buhay! and the Gawad Pambansang Alagad ni Francisco Balagtas, Liza also won the Don Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards for Literature, and three of her award-winning plays are published in Bienvenida de Soltera, an anthology of her earlier works.
