“One More Chance: The Musical,” an adaptation of the 2007 film starring John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo, will be staged in 2024 featuring the songs of folk-pop band Ben&Ben, according to the Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA).

The announcement was made after the closing performance of the play “Walang Aray,” where theater actors Gio Gahol and Marynor Madamesila did their own rendition of the cult classic’s popular line, “She had me at my worst. You had me at my best. Pero binaliwala mo ang lahat (But you wasted everything).”
