‘Dalaga na si Maxie Oliveros: A Drag Musical Extravaganza’ coming in June
Maxie is back—and this time, she’s all grown up. “Dalaga na si Maxie Oliveros: A Drag Musical Extravaganza” marks the dazzling return of one of Filipino pop culture’s most beloved queer icons in a spectacular new immersive production from June 13 to June 22 at Illumination Studio, Makati City.
Staged just in time for Pride Month, this bold reimagining of Maxie’s story invites audiences to step directly into her glitter-filled, heartbreak-prone, and fabulously complicated world. Set five years after “Maxie the Musical,” the sequel follows Maxie Oliveros as she navigates love, identity, and resilience.
More than just a sequel, “Dalaga na si Maxie Oliveros” is a theatrical experience unlike anything audiences have seen before. Performances unfold in and around the audience, blurring the lines between stage and seat in an intimate, interactive celebration. Part drag show, part musical, part rallying cry—this immersive production promises to spark dialogue, emotion, and glitter in equal measure.
The new musical builds on the legacy of “Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros,” the 2005 award-winning film that first introduced Maxie to the world. The 2013 hit “Maxie the Musical” followed, earning acclaim for its exuberant yet tender take on the queer coming-of-age experience.
Under special arrangements with the original filmmakers and Ticket2Me, and line produced by Philippine Educational Theater Association (Peta) Plus, Maxie returns to reclaim her story—older, fiercer, and more unapologetically herself than ever before.
