Last quarter, Tan introduced iconic global brands to the Philippines, including the first Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill at Newport World Resorts. He recently signed a deal with Tesla, which is set to launch its flagship showroom in Uptown Bonifacio in Taguig this quarter. Tan is also leading AGI’s tourism foray, recently opening the Grand Westside Hotel in Westside City—the largest hotel in the Philippines.
A patron of the arts, Tan unveiled a new theatre for Repertory Philippines (REP) in Eastwood City. This is a key step in his vision to establish the Philippines as the Broadway of Asia, culminating in the opening of the country’s first Grand Opera House in Westside City in Parañaque.
Recently, REP unveiled its new home alongside the premiere of its original Filipino musical ‘Jepoy and the Magic Circle’ for its REP Theater for Young Audiences (RTYA) programme. This 500-seater theatre crafted by Megaworld Lifestyle Malls, under the helm of Graham Coates, provides an intimate yet spacious setting to REP’s patrons and houses a dedicated hallway for REP’s beloved musicals and artists through the years.
In a Facebook post, Kevin Tan, president and CEO of Megaworld, wrote: “As an advocate of Filipino performing arts, we are honoured to play a major role in this new chapter of the country’s foremost theatre company and purveyor of world-class productions and theatre talents.”
