“An itty-bitty movie with a great big heart, Colma: The Musical
is about how we learn to give voice – joyfully, honestly, loudly – to
the truest parts of ourselves.”

Colma:
The Musical boasts
13 musical numbers
featuring all original
music by H.P. Mendoza
and is Richard Wong’s
feature directorial
debut. Best pals Rodel,
Billy, and Maribel
find themselves in
a state of limbo,
fresh out of high
school. As newfound
revelations and romances
challenge their relationships
with one another
and their parents,
the trio must assess
what to hold onto,
and how to best pursue
their goals.
Billy
wants
to
be
an
actor.
When
he
is
cast
in
a
local
play,
his
mundane
routine
mall
jobs
and
late-night
small-town
romps
with
Rodel
and
Maribel
seem
small
compared
to
glimpses
of
a
bigger
life.
Rodel
can
be
the
life
of
the
party
–
if
he
feels
like
it.
But
at
home,
with
his
brother
in
prison,
the
pressure
of
being
the
“good
kid”
in
taking
its
toll.
Rodel’s
relationship
with
his
father
is
fading
as
a
secret
Rodel
keeps
from
him
will
force
a
confrontation.
Maribel
loves
a
party,
especially
crashing
them.
Helping
Rodel
and
Billy
land
fake
ID’s,
she
constantly
is
trying
to
get
them
into
the
“in”
parties.
When
the
friendships
between
the
three
get
rocky,
she
does
what
she
can
to
keep
them
all
together. |
