MANILA, Philippines — The perfect theater date begins before the curtain rises. Add a buffet, dinner for two, or an overnight hotel stay, and it becomes the kind of plan worth clearing an entire weekend for.
Newport World Resorts is giving theatergoers more ways to experience “Bongga Ka, ’Day!: The Annie Batungbakal Musical” with Bonggang Bundles that pair show tickets with a dining or staycation experience, taking some of the planning out of theater night while adding more reasons to arrive early and stay a little longer.

If you are looking to make a weekend out of theater night, there’s the Watch & Stay package, specifically catered to those looking for an end-of-the-work week theater R&R.
Starting at PHP 14,300, it comes with two tickets to the musical, an overnight stay at Hilton Manila with breakfast for two. Rates are based on the selected theater seats, starting at PHP 14,300 for Silver, followed by PHP 16,200 for Gold, PHP 17,200 for VIP, and PHP 18,000 for SVIP.
Similarly, an overnight stay at Sheraton Manila Hotel starts at PHP 15,500, with rates depending on the selected theater seats. All rates are inclusive of ticketing platform fees.

For those who want to begin the celebration over a generous spread, the Buffet + Musical package serves up a gastronomic treat right before the start of the show. Each bundle includes one ticket to the musical and a lunch or dinner buffet for one at any of four participating hotel restaurants at Newport World Resorts.
Guests can choose from Kusina Sea Kitchens at Hilton Manila, S Kitchen at Sheraton Manila Hotel, Marriott Cafe at Manila Marriott Hotel, or Yawaragi at Hotel Okura Manila, making it easy to match the meal to the kind of theater day they have in mind.
