Steven Silva: A Wonderful Revelation in La Cage Aux Folles!

I first met Steven Silva in an elevator ride but since his friend Raffy Rosell was with him, it was Raffy and I who got to talk and Raffy never got to introduce Steven to me since the ride was short.

Anyway, he was such a revelation onstage as he played the son of Michael de Mesa and Audie Gemora, a very crucial role in the musical, La Cage Aux Folles. I remember the actor who played this role in The Birdcage was very handsome!

Steven naman is cute and charming in his own right, and he can really sing!  I actually felt nervous for him because in some scenes, he had to sing - and dance - with the veterans, Michael de Mesa and Audie Gemora!      

Outside the stage, he did seem a bit shy, especially in meeting the audience theater-goers, but he was very gracious when he met our group.

I might be mistaken but the girl who played his girlfriend should be the daughter of ballerina legend Lisa Macuja-Elizalde.  They had the same apelyido kasi (her name is Missy) and she did many ballet moves in her scenes.  Actually, they looked cute together as a couple!
