On Nov. 17 (US time), Cuneta will be performing at the same venue where Manilow performed alongside her ex-husband and on-screen partner Gabby Conception.
Cuneta and Concepcion first held their “Dear Heart” show in Cebu and Manila in October and November of last year, respectively. The show is based on the 1981 film of the same name.
On the other hand, Cuneta recently bared her plans to pen her autobiography, saying that she is now “ready” to write a book about her life as a public figure.
The “Mr. DJ” singer is also set to make her television comeback via the drama series “Saving Grace,” which is the Philippine adaptation of hit Japanese drama “Mother.”
Meanwhile, Manilow is known for his hits “Could It Be Magic,” “Looks Like We Made It,” “Mandy,” “I Write the Songs,” “Can’t Smile Without You,” “Weekend in New England,” and “Copacabana (At the Copa).”
