One More Chance, The Musical featuring the songs of Ben&Ben is a jukebox musical written by Michelle Ngu-Nario with the songs of the 9-piece indie folk-pop band, Ben&Ben. The musical is based on the 2007 film One More Chance directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina and written by Vanessa R. Valdez and Carmi Raymundo. This was produced by the Philippine Educational Theater Association as its 56th season-ender. The musical was directed by PETA's Artistic Director, Maribel Legarda and songs we're arranged by Myke Salomon.
The show premiered last April 12, 2024 at the PETA Theater Center in New Manila, Quezon City. Initially, the shows will run till June 16, however due to popular demand during its ticket sales, they've announced during their press night that it will run until June 30, 2024.
Last May 23, 2024, PETA did a Facebook live announcing a Three-Month Rerun of One More Chance, The Musical from August 22 to October 27, 2024. Days before the announcement, PETA have been teasing this by the show's famous idea of the "Three-Month Rule".
