Proscenium Theater maintains the momentum of its grand opening with the festive musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic, running from November to December 2025.
Rockwell’s Proscenium Theater continues its inaugural season with the beloved hit musical A Christmas Carol. Staged by 9 Works Theatrical and directed by Robbie Guevara, the production features music by Alan Menken (the composer behind Disney favorites like The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, and Tangled), lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and a book by Mike Ockrent and Lynn Ahrens.
Running from November to December 2025, this Broadway adaptation (which premiered in 1994 and became a beloved annual New York holiday tradition) brings Charles Dickens’ tale of Ebenezer Scrooge and his ghostly Christmas Eve encounters to life, exploring the themes of redemption, family, and generosity that made the story such a timeless one.

A Season of Grand Performances
The Proscenium Theater opened September 26 with the premiere of The Bodyguard The Musical, also staged by 9 Works Theatrical. Praised for its compelling story, music, and choreography, the production showcased the newly opened venue and ran through October.
With three major productions planned in just its first few months, Rockwell establishes the theater as a vibrant destination for culture and performance, offering both grandeur and intimacy in a state-of-the-art setting that highlights Filipino artistry.
The Maestro Takes the Stage
On November 14 and 15, the Proscenium Theater will also host its first concert—the MaestroClass Concert Series by National Artist for Music Ryan Cayabyab. A pillar of Philippine music, Cayabyab has long been part of Rockwell’s journey, having graced its events and stages through the years. Soon, he’ll be making his debut at the new theater with world-class acoustics and Steinway pianos. The upcoming series promises concerts that offer a distinct theme and musical experience, and feature exciting guest performers who will set the tone for an exhilarating season ahead.
