Ice Seguerra is bringing a new musical partner into ICE SINGS! An Intimate Concert Series: Musical Hits.
This time, isang Filipino-American musical director, keyboardist and producer na si Troy Laureta ang makakasama ni Ice for the November 6 and 7 concerts at the Music Museum, shaping a live-band sound for songs that have stayed with Ice since childhood.
Nakatrabaho na ni Laureta ang mga sikat na international artists including Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber and has recorded with Nicole Scherzinger.
For ICE SINGS!, his task is a more personal one: work with Ice to find a fresh way into familiar musical-theatre and film songs, while keeping the voice and storytelling that make an Ice Seguerra performance feel close.
“People know me with a guitar, singing songs that feel very personal,” says Seguerra.
“But I’ve loved musicals since I was a kid. This show lets me bring that side of myself back—and find out what these songs mean to me now.”
The concert grew out of ICE SINGS!, Ice’s digital performance series, where he follows his curiosity across songs and genres.
Its first live installment, Musical Hits, turns that freedom into a full evening with Troy and a band.
Ice and the musicians will move between spare, intimate passages and fuller theatrical arrangements, with featured instrumental moments woven into the music.
For Liza Diño, creator, producer and creative director of ICE SINGS!, the pairing is about more than giving familiar songs a new sound.
“Ice knows how to make a lyric feel like a conversation with the person sitting in front of him,” Diño says.
“Troy can help us open up the musical possibilities around that. Even when the band grows, we want you to hear the thought behind every word.”
Rather than divide the night into separate musical categories, the creative team is building one emotional journey.
It begins with the sense of wonder that first drew Ice to these songs, moves through longing, choice and change, and comes back to connection.
Humor and theatrical play have a place in that journey, too.
Ice is both a singer and an actor, and Musical Hits gives him room to be both.
Among the songs being developed for the concert are “On My Own” from Les Misérables, “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” from Jesus Christ Superstar, “For Good” from Wicked, and “Friend Like Me” from Aladdin.
Ice once played the Genie onstage; revisiting that musical world offers a glimpse of the playful side of the performer alongside the songs audiences know him for interpreting with tenderness.
The arrangements and final running order are being shaped by Ice, Laureta and the band. Their aim is to let each song reveal a different side of its story—and a different side of Ice—without losing the intimacy of the Music Museum room.
ICE SINGS! An Intimate Concert Series: Musical Hits takes place on November 6 and 7, 2026, at 8:00 PM at the Music Museum. The concert is produced by Fire & Ice Live. JP Ignacio
