It started at one of the biggest theaters in the UK which is the London Palladium and people from Germany, Japan, US and other parts of the world are flying in and lining up at the stage door for the musical Death Note. Our very own thespian, Joaquin Pedro Valdes, is top-billing in the musical as Light Yagami and is definitely the international theater scene’s next big star.
Death Note: The Musical is based on the Japanese best-selling manga that has been adapted to theater. The musical’s score is by Frank Wildhorn who is behind the hit songs Where Do Broken Hearts Go and This Is The Moment.Joaquin shared, “It’s cool because I remember the Philippines dahil halos lahat ng kontesero at kontesera natin nanalo na dahil sa kanta ni Frank!”
Another big project of his is yet to be announced. Since he was 10 years old, Joaquin has been in theater scene here in the Philippines and he even tried his luck in showbiz. He looked back on his journey so far: “It is not always easy. Not everyone has that Cinderella story of booking your first job and suddenly you’re a star. It is hard work and I am proud of that hard work because I started as an ensemble member of Miss Saigon and worked my way to another ensemble until I got here.”
