In a viral video published on Sunday by stage actor Stephen Vias, Myke Salomon, who played Cyrano in the theatrical performance, and singer Gab Pangilinan, who played Roxane, the two main characters, were seen getting engaged.
Salomon proposed to Pangilinan after Mula Sa Buwan’s initial run in front of the Samsung Performing Arts Theater audience, and she said “yes.” Pangilinan wrote on Facebook, “It just so happened that the background around you was blurry.” “Mahal ka sa akin, Myke Salomon. Napaka upstager mo.” (You are love to me, Myke Salomon. You are such an upstager.)
Salomon, who shared pictures of the proposal on Instagram, made fun of the fact that he could have popped the question in the restroom despite their desire to express their “unique love” for one another.
“Actually, pwede naman namin gawin to sa dressing room pagkatapos ng show, pero pinili ko gawin sa sagradong tahanan: Ang entablado, kung saan ang lahat ng kulay ng emosyon, ngiti, palakpak, tawa, luha, saya, pag ibig at katotohanan ay umaapaw,” (Actually, we could have done this in the dressing romo after the show, but I chose to do it in a sacred place: The stage, where all the colors of emotion, the smiles, applause, tears, happiness, love, and reality, are flowing.) he wrote. “To be honest, we just wanted to share with everyone our crazy, unique love for each other.”
“Sanlibong salamat sa walang sawang suportang ibinigay ninyong lahat sa aming paglipad papunta sa buwan!” (Many thanks to the unwavering support from all of you to our journey to the moon!) the play wrote on its Facebook page. “Hindi pa tayo magpapaalam ng tuluyan dahil magkikita-kita pa tayo sa Disyembre. Hanggang sa muli!” (We won’t be gone for long because we will see each other again in December. Until next time!)
Mula Sa Buwan is “an original Filipino musical about love and defiance,” according to its Facebook page, and is based on Edmond Rostand’s French drama Cyrano de Bergerac.
