Repertory Philippines proudly announces its second offering for the year 2013 with “ No Way To Treat A Lady ” a musical comedy thriller with book, music and lyrics by Douglas J. Cohen based on the best-selling novel and renowned movie by William Goldman.

“No Way To Treat A Lady” directed by Audie Gemora, is a musical comic thriller chronicling the exploits of a 1970s momma's boy serial killer – who draws a red lipstick kiss on the forehead of each of his victims as a calling card – and the hardened momma's boy cop hell-bent on tracking him down.

As a witty, snappy, dark, and wickedly entertaining black comedy, the music and lyrics of “No Way To Treat a Lady” are magical --- you will actually start humming melodies that stay with you. All the elements come together to illustrate what a first-rate musical should be!

With five actors playing 17 roles, the cast features Audie Gemora as Christopher ‘Kit’ Gill; Joel Trinidad as Morris Brummel; Carla Guevara-Laforteza as Sarah Stone; Sheila Francisco as Flora Brummel; Pinky Marquez as Alexandra Gill; and Jamie Wilson as Christopher Gill (Stand In).

Within the course of the play, Christopher Gill disguises himself as seven other characters: an Irish priest, an Arthur Murray dance class instructor, a French waiter, a telephone repairman, a pizza delivery messenger, a New York cop, and a female barfly.
