Even the first few chords of the 'Ang Huling El Bimbo' song would definitely send any '90s kid / high schooler like me a rush of flashbacks' trip down memory lane.

“What we have right now are stories about depression and people failing to communicate to each other, and these are a few things that will be tackled in this musical,“ said Novenario during the press conference. “It may not be your conventional ‘razzle-dazzle’ musical theater, and I think that’s what makes it more exciting. After you come out of the theater, you begin to think about it and that’s when it really works,“ he added.
Audiences can reminisce to a number of ‘90s rock hits from the Pinoy Fab Four including “Ligaya”, “Pare Ko”, “With a Smile”, “Alapaap”, “Overdrive”, and the title track “Ang Huling El Bimbo” which have been integrated as vital parts of the modern Filipino musical.
