The Sandbox Collective is back with another bold and emotionally charged production, and this time, it’s bringing the powerful story of conjoined twins Daisy and Violet Hilton to life in Side Show: The Musical. Opening on July 26, 2025, at the Power Mac Center Spotlight Black Box Theater in Circuit Makati, this reimagining of the original 1997 version promises a theatrical experience that’s as haunting as it is heartfelt.
Set in 1930s America, Side Show explores the lives of Daisy and Violet Hilton, who rose to fame in the vaudeville circuit. The musical dives deep into themes of identity, love, and acceptance, all wrapped in a visually stunning and emotionally gripping production.
