“Rama at Sita” on YouTube
Remember Rama at Sita? Yes, that landmark Original Pilipino Musical that drew raves from critics when it was produced around eight years ago? Don’t fret if you missed it. Now, with the permission of its copyright owners, Franco and Ayen Laurel, all of us can watch it on YouTube!

“For those who caught the production at the UP Theater, here’s a chance to relive its magic. For those who missed it, now’s the time to watch, from dazzling opening number to exhilarating finale, the most-talked-about theater event of that long-ago season.
This video captures the closing performance of the musical on the evening of March 6, 1999, with Ariel Rivera as Rama, Chiqui Pineda as Sita, John Arcilla as Rama’s brother Lakshmana, Robert Sena as the villain Ravana, Jaya as Ravana’s sister Soorphanaka, Mr. Laurel as Rama’s youngest brother Bharata, and Edward Granadosin as Rama’s teacher Vishmavitra.”
