Mwah's Bedazzled 6: Truly one-of-a-kind 
When
it comes to first-rate entertainment fare, chances are you find it at Club Mwah,
located at the 3rd floor of The Venue Tower on Boni Ave., Mandaluyong City. For
instance, this is where you can find Minne Ripperton's falsetto number Loving
You transformed into a alullaby; or where a spoof version of London West End's
Miss Saigon with a Rapunzel-haired Kim and an authentic chopper to boot is seen.
Or even Madonna singing the Thai version of Vogue. And
now, the much raved-about bar-theater is staging Bedazzled 6, an entertainment
package with lavish production numbers and excerpts from Broadway musicals guaranteed
to quench everyone's thirst for one-of-a-kind and world-class entertainment fare. 
What
to see in Bedazzled 6 are a blonde goggle-eyed minnie Ripperton putting sleep
her Blue Magic baby to "birit" song Loving You, and time precisioned
succession and quick set changes, the Sister Act, the Goldfinger sequence, the
Korean Sakura Flower Festival, Mama Moton, and the operatic aria of Pitimini;
an African tribal dance (actually a take-off from All That Jazz) and many more. Due
to insistent clamor from Club Mwah's patrons, the Cell Block Tango dance sequence
is also being restaged bu this time with emotionally-charged choreography by no
less than the place's president, director and chief dance guru Cris Nicolas, who's
doing the dirty dancing gigole role. 
Cris
and Club Mwah Vice President and Partner Pocholo Malillin keep concocting fabulous
production numbers for the viewing delight and visual satisfaction of guests and
patrons, among the most recent of whom were Former Miss Lady Imelda Romualdez
Marcos and showbiz sensations like Sam Milby. And
of course, the club's spoof version of Miss Saigon is something else. We wonder
how Cameron Mackintosh would react if he were in the audience. And
for the finale, the Follies de Mwah do their version of I Am What We Are, lifted
from the musical La Cage Au Follies. Club
Mwah received recently an award from the Asian Gem and Tourism Federation (shaired
by Celine F. Clemente) for artistic excellence in its tourism-oriented shows. Club
Mwah opens at 8:30pm for dinner, and at 9:30-10:30, guests can go dancing (be
sure to bring your dancing partners, Pocholo said). You
