MANILA, Philippines—The Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) has exciting news for theater enthusiasts. Due to overwhelming demand, more shows for One More Chance, The Musical will be added starting March 7 via TicketWorld.
The surge in demand prompted PETA to extend the run of the show, as tickets sold out months before its opening. Originally slated to close on June 16, 2024, the musical will now run from April 12 to June 30 at the PETA-Phinma Theater in New Manila, Quezon City.

Tickets for this highly anticipated production were released via TicketWorld in early February, during an exclusive pre-sale for Metrobank, PETA’s co-presenter and official bank partner. The response was remarkable, with close to 1,800 tickets sold within the first hour alone. By the end of the three-day pre-sale, more than half of the tickets for the 50-show run were snapped up.
