The show started with a bang, with musical director Tex Cimafranca playing a medley of Darius hit songs, while photos flashed on the big screen showing the budding years of his singing career, and zooming into a radio booth, where Tessie Lagman was on board, greeting the audience, as if she were on her vintage radio program. She then “played” a music request by a listener of a Darius song from his hit movie, Sweet Caroline. Then lo and behold: Darius emerged from the audience to sing the requested piece. As the last note was song, he segued to the classic, “The Sensations” of the ‘70s group headed by Darius himself, as he started to call out his contemporaries, Perla Adea and Romy Mallari, ‘70s love team and now couple in real life. Perla and Romy sang their trademark vintage songs, “I Honestly Love You,” “Portrait of My Love,” and “Love is A Many Splendored Thing.”
