Ai-Ai delas Alas "Akin Ang Tronong Ito" Concert on November 19, 2010


Comedy Concert Queen Ai Ai delas Alas is celebrating her 20th anniversary in showbiz with a Big Dome concert, �Akin ang Tronong �to�, with the poster showing her as the Queen of Hearts sitting on a pink toilet bowl. �Five hours inabot ang pictorial dahil sa makeup at costumes ko,� she says. �Thanksgiving din ito as stars now come and go, but kahit mabilis ang turn over, salamat sa Diyos, narito pa rin ako. It�s 20 years na full of blessings.�

We first saw Ai Ai as an emcee at Music Box Comedy Bar 25 years ago. Everytime she�d sing off key, she�d say: �Second voice yun. Pero nagte-teatro din ako noon sa Met. Secretary ako for Tanghalang Pilipino and I even did �Hamlet� for the late Rolando Tinio. Dalawang trabaho ko kaya nagka-TB ako. Grabe. Those were the days. Pero doon ko sa teatro na-meet yung tatay ng eldest kong si Sancho. (Theatre actor Rey Malte Cruz.)�

She remains the undisputed Comedy Concert Queen. She has a sitcom with Aga Muhlach, �M3�, a coffeetable book about her life featuring so many old fotos, a new film �Tanging Ina Mo Rin� for the Metro filmfest, and now, this �Akin ang Tronong �To� concert. Despite her busy sked, she returned to school taking up public administration in UP to prepare for her plan to run for office in Batangas. So no lovelife at all? �Walang time. But I have a classmate na crush ko. Sana mapansin niya rin ako. Lahat ng classmates ko, invited sa concert ko para kapag may reports ako, they won�t grill me anymore in class.�

She proudly proclaims that all her guests in her concert are also kings and queens. �Sina Sharon Cuneta, Lea Salonga at Regine Velasquez lang naman among the girls,� she says. �Gusto ko sana sina Martin at Pops dahil Concert King and Queen sila, but di raw available. Gusto ko ring mag-guest ng mga Denial King and Queen, mga Bomba and ST Queen, Pictorial Queen, at iba pang klaseng queen, pati Closet Queen, kung okay sila.�

Directed by Floy Quintos, produced by Ambient Media and with Homer Flores as musical director, the show will be held at Araneta on November 19, 2010.
