Rachel Alejandro—one of Original Pilipino Music’s most distinctive voices—should have been part of the smash hit musical of 2012, Atlantis Production’s Rock of Ages, but she had something more important to do. She got married and flew to New York to be with her new husband.
“I even recorded ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ for Bobby [Garcia, Atlantis Production’s founder and artistic director] four years ago, because he said he wanted me to be in the production,” Rachel told The Manila Times in a one-on-one interview on Thursday. “But you know how it is, the dates for Rock of Ages were pushed back, Atlantis’ production schedules changed, and I was already in New York when they were finally ready to do the show.”
