Fandesals

Happy New Year, fellow Fandesals! We begin the year with an episode about...looking back! We talked about what we remembered doing in the past, in five-year-increments! Do you still remember where you were and what you were doing, too?

We recorded this in December 2023, so we started looking back five years from then.

In this off-season episode, Clare shares a special night when she watched Hamilton. Watch and find out how much she fangirl'd over the performances, as a legit Fandesal would!

The Manila leg of Hamilton's Asian tour is still happening until the end of November. Visit https://gmg-productions.com/hamilton/ for information.

Meanwhile, our Season 6 is just around the corner. Catch you soon, fellow Fandesals!
