Take Billy
by Billy Balbastro

Less than two years of existence, several awards here and abroad and thousands of satisfied and impressed patrons through the evenings have made Club Mwah an entertainment standout.

Actually, Club Mwah is at the Venue Tower Boni Ave. Mandaluyong City. With its ambience and its kind of service and entertainment, the theater cum-bar has become synonymous to such terms as world class, opulent and first rate.

"Quality entertainment" is the dictum the club's vice president and administrator Pocholo Malilin follows. "We don't shortchange our patrons. We give them our best and this is out of commitment."

This weekend (Thursday, Friday & Saturday), Club Mwah's Bedazzled 6 presents new numbers reprise from dance sequence lifted from Chicago with Club Mwah's President Cris Nicolas, the world-class choreographer-director doing a fantastic display of passionate dancing.

Madonna's Vogue has Thai choreography complete with Thai setting and production design. Fabulous!

Tha African tribal dance goes hip and contemporary, with jazz dancers and with ethnic costumes in novel and highly creative design. With ostriches and humor.

Follies de Mwah goes to Seoul Korea with a Sakura Flower Festival. Very Asian. Then the Shirley Bassey's Goldfinger and Madonna's Die Another Day numbers with dazzling performers. What do you say, Ian Fleming?

The most lavish number in Bedazzled 6 is their version of Miss Saigon with an impressive production design - a helicopter in mid-air and GIs in military garb.

How's this for a grand finale, I am What We Are with gender-bending dancers in doble-cara costumes. Mind-boggling. What a sight. Seque to the dazzling curtain call with the performers in all opulence parading down the lighted staircase.

Club Mwah continues to live up to its reputation as an upscale entertainment venue doubling as a party place, with a touch of Las Vegas and Moulin Rouge in Philippine setting. For reservations, please call 532-2826 / 535-7943.

Lavish costumes, excellent choreography as well as its choice of music set design are well crafted by Club Mwah artistic director - president Cris Nicolas.

This theater cum-bar has been the favorite meeting place on weekends for professions, businessmen and show people. Yes, celebrities like Sharon Cuneta, Aga Muhlach, Charlene Gonzales, Pilita Corrales, German Moreno and even Piolo Pascual. Also Club Mwah isn't just for celebrities. It is there for everyone for a happy weekend.
