Get ready for an extraordinary theatrical experience as TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS makes its highly anticipated Philippine debut this November 2024. This heartwarming and powerful play, based on the best-selling book by Cheryl Strayed, has captured hearts worldwide through its stage adaptation by My Big Fat Greek Wedding star Nia Vardalos.

She will be joined by a stellar ensemble of actors who will lend voices to the letter writers, including the multi-awarded Rody Vera, the versatile Gabby Padilla, and the beloved comedian-actor Ketchup Eusebio.
