Maxie is back—and this time, she’s all grown up. Dalaga na si Maxie Oliveros: A Drag Musical Extravaganza marks the dazzling return of one of Filipino pop culture’s most beloved queer icons in a spectacular new immersive production.

Set five years after Maxie the Musical, the sequel follows Maxie Oliveros as she navigates love, identity, and resilience in a world that’s still catching up to her radiance.

The new musical builds on the legacy of Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros, the 2005 award-winning film that first introduced Maxie to the world. The 2013 hit Maxie the Musical followed, earning acclaim for its exuberant yet tender take on the queer coming-of-age experience.

Staged just in time for Pride Month, this bold reimagining of Maxie’s story invites audiences to step directly into her glitter-filled, heartbreak-prone, and fabulously complicated world. 

More than just a sequel, Dalaga na si Maxie Oliveros is a theatrical experience unlike anything audiences have seen before.

Performances unfold in and around the audience, blurring the lines between stage and seat in an intimate, interactive celebration of queer joy, survival, and transformation. Part drag show, part musical, part rallying cry—this immersive production promises to spark dialogue, emotion, and glitter in equal measure.

This highly anticipated production is directed by Melvin Lee, written by Julia Icawat Enriquez and Mikaundre Gozum Santos, with musical direction, arrangement, and additional original songs by JJ Pimpinio.
