Prinsipe Munti | Theater Review


On Wednesday, December 9, I saw an adaptation theatre act of the play “Le Petit Prince” most popularly known in its English version “Little Prince” originally written by  French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. “Prinsipe Munti” was a playwright by Layeta Bucoy which presented by the Tanghalang Pilipino at the Cultural Center of the Philippines Theatre in Pasay City. This brilliant creation is about a young Prince who owns a planet and truly adores a beautiful rose that live in his planet, the story begin to change when the rose and the Prince seems to have a confusion understanding what the Rose really wants. The journey of the Prince in finding new friends leads him in encountering other perspective on “how they value things in their life?”



During the show, I very much enjoyed the performance of Noel Comia as Prinsipe Munti, because not only he’s great child actor but also he delivers the musical side of the play very well. Noel is the main face of the play and I must say that the child actor perfectly blend with the theater world as he effortlessly did the dialogue with 15 different characters and successfully balanced the mood in each scenario of the story.


I also enjoyed the exchange of conversation between Prinsipe Munti and Alamid. Alamid is played by Jonathan Tadioan, he optimizes the stage very well in the story when Prinsipe Munti is trying to tame him – it was very convincing that his facial emotion and his low register voice creates a virtual arena that let Prinsipe Munti strive harder in attaining Alamid’s trust. Their tandem seems to serve like a father-and-son relationship which makes it harder for Prinsipe Munti to leave from Earth going back to his own planet.


I also would like to discuss the performance of Marco Viaña that played the role of the Pilot. The ending part of story serves as the conclusion of what the story is all about. At the beginning it was a long transition stressing all the fine points about being a matured person into the realization that he will not understand what Prinsipe Munti is saying because “he is a grown-up” person. However, when transition was done – it was a gorgeous scene and everybody is celebrating.


In addition, I was also impressed with the technical side of the show. The stage might not be as huge as the main theater of CCP but throughout the whole show they successfully carried out “What is necessary?” “What is appropriate for the scene?” and “How to maximize the stage”. The only thing that I wish is that, they will make the whole playlist of the song available in iTunes for me to download it.

Overall, Prinsipe Munti is a must see theatre play – I encourage everyone (specially the grown-ups) to watch it, as it will serve as your reminder the true value of life.
