Three Philippine showbiz royalties are ready to spread good vibes and great music as they perform live in the country’s premier entertainment destination, Newport World Resorts.

‘80s heartthrobs Gabby Concepcion and Christopher de Leon are the dashing kings of Comedy Concert Queen Ai-Ai delas Alas in “The Kings and Ai” comedy concert slated on March 8 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater (NPAT).

For the first time, fans will witness the concert chemistry between the box-office kings and the country’s Comedy Queen herself. Aside from delighting audiences with their musical magic, the trio will playfully recall their experiences through the years.

Gabby began his career in the '80s as a teen model, gaining fame in Philippine cinema with charming roles. He starred in hits like "Bituing Walang Ningning" and "Pangako Sa Yo." Apart from acting, he also released successful albums, starting with his 1984 self-titled debut album featuring timeless ballads and popular song covers.

Similarly, Christopher de Leon owned the “premier leading man” tag for decades, boasting of one of the most impressive filmographies around, and with a noteworthy array of acting awards. Fifty years into his career, he is still happily entertaining fans with his love for music. In 2023, the veteran actor serenaded audiences in “Some Kind of Valentine” at the NPAT stage.

With her spectacular performances mixed with funny antics, Ai-Ai remains unstoppable in bringing smiles to Filipinos locally and abroad with her sold-out concerts.

As the Comedy Concert Queen, she became one of the panelists of the all-original Filipino singing competition, “The Clash.”

Get ready to swoon and laugh with Gabby, Christopher, and Ai-Ai in the “The Kings and Ai” concert at the Newport Performing Arts Theater.
