Nikki Gil plays struggling actress in musical

Nikki Gil gives her best performance to date as a theater performer.

The Kapamilya singer-actress plays the role of Cathy Hyatt, the struggling actress in a crumbling marriage in the musical “The Last Five Years.”

Gil essays the role wife who was left hanging by her husband Jaime (Joaquin Valdez) because of their differences. Cathy and Jaime alternate with their solos and only meet up halfway through the show. This is because the two characters reminisce two different time lines. Cathy’s story is told backwards after her husband Jamie leaves their marriage, while Jamie’s story started when he first meets Cathy.

“The Last Five Years” opened last August 9 at the Carlos P. Auditorium of RCBC Plaza, Makati City. It runs weekends until August 31.
