Fairytale endings and the 'Maniya effect'
Much to do with the success of Philippine Ballet Theater’s “Cinderella” was that it was like a bespoke Chanel suit: simple, classic, timeless.
On opening night at the Cultural Center of the Philippines, PBT artistic director Ronilo Jaynario relives the Jean-Paul Comelin choreography, set to music by Sergei Prokofiev, of the rags-to-riches tale of a girl who is made a servant by her stepmother and stepsisters but ends up marrying a prince, thanks to her fairy godmother, a midnight curfew, and glass slippers (or glittery pointe shoes, in this case) that fit.
Maxine Sy was the likeable Cinderella, who politely maintained smoldering eye contact with Lemuel Capa’s tall and—very—charming prince. Both looked light and nimble on their feet, but perhaps a little too careful not to make mistakes in what seemed like endless pas-de-deux sets.
Stellar supporting cast included Anatoly Panasyukov, who played the evil stepmother role to perfection. Former PBT members Joel Matias and Mario Esperanza were the class act in drag as the (really, really) ugly sisters.
