Dancing and tasting your way around the world in 10 destinations! Savor the Show: Around the World is Okada Manila’s new live show at The Coral Lounge, and it’s billed as the Philippines’ first travel-inspired live show with a tasting menu served in sync with the performance. Each number takes you to a different destination (Connecticut, Spain, Italy, France, India, South Korea, the Philippines, Chicago, New York and Brazil), and if you get the optional Tasting Menu, a bite and a drink from that same place arrive at your table while it’s being performed on stage.
about
Savor the Show: Around the World premiered on October 30, 2026 at The Coral Lounge, the bar under the giant crystal chandelier in the middle of Okada Manila. It was created and directed by Livia Paccagnella, Okada Manila’s Director of Creative Entertainment, and performed by the Okada Manila Entertainment Group. The 75-minute show runs in two 30-minute acts with a 15-minute intermission, and mixes live vocals, dance, ballroom, aerial artistry, specialty acts and immersive LED displays.
“At Okada Manila, we want to create entertainment that brings guests closer to the cultures, energy, and artistry of different destinations,” says Paccagnella. “Savor the Show invites audiences to share that journey through music, movement, and visual storytelling within the vibrant setting of The Coral Lounge.”

ACT I
Act I takes you from the American East Coast across Europe. A hoop aerialist also performs between Connecticut and Spain.
🇺🇸 Connecticut, USA
The show opens with a full-cast, 1950s-style ensemble: swing skirts, suspenders and big lifts, with the LED wall flashing city lights behind the dancers. It sets the energy for the rest of the night.
Smoked Salmon Blinis + East Coast Cooler (Mocktail)
A rosette of smoked salmon with roe and fresh herbs on a small blini, paired with a pink, bubbly East Coast Cooler.
🇪🇸 Spain
Spain turns the stage red: flamenco-inspired dancers swirl their ruffled skirts while couples tango between the tables.
Chorizo and Manchego Croquetas + Red Sangria (Cocktail)
A golden croqueta filled with chorizo and Manchego, paired with a glass of red sangria.
🇮🇹 Italy
Italy slows things down with a romantic vocal duet under the shimmering crystal curtain, one of the strongest showcases of the show’s singers.
Burratina, Roasted Cherry Tomatoes and Balsamic Vinegar + Amalfi Basil Spritz (Mocktail)
Creamy burratina on toasted bread, topped with roasted cherry tomatoes, balsamic and micro herbs, paired with an Amalfi Basil Spritz.
🇫🇷 France
Act I ends in Paris: the Eiffel Tower lights up on the LED screen, a singer in white fur lounges on a red lips sofa, the dancers leap across the stage, and the can-can closes the act.
Quiche Lorraine + Paris Royale (Cocktail)
A mini quiche Lorraine in a flaky pastry shell, paired with a rosé-hued Paris Royale.
ACT II
After the 15-minute intermission, Act II travels from Asia to the Americas and ends with the finale in Rio.
🇮🇳 India
Act II opens with a burst of color: dancers in mirrored lehenga skirts, a mandala on the LED screen, and plenty of stage smoke.
Samosa Chaat + Cardamom-Coconut Lassi (Mocktail)
A crisp samosa topped with chaat chutneys, paired with a small glass of cardamom-coconut lassi.
🇰🇷 South Korea
Before Seoul, a silks aerialist performs high above the audience. Then a K-pop crew takes over the stage with sharp, high-energy choreography under cool blue lights.
Mandu with Yangnyeom Jang + Seoul Lights (Mocktail) + Soju Shot (Spirit)
A plump mandu dumpling in yangnyeom jang dipping sauce. Korea is the only stop with two drinks: a Seoul Lights mocktail and a soju shot.
🇵🇭 Philippines
The Philippines number opens with a masked warrior in red under crossed spotlights, followed by dancers in Filipino-inspired costumes with a tropical LED backdrop.
Pork Barbecue with Atchara + Manila Sunshine (Mocktail)
A glazed Filipino pork barbecue skewer topped with atchara, paired with a sunny-yellow Manila Sunshine.
🇺🇸 Chicago, USA
Chicago turns sultry with cabaret-style choreography with fishnets, suspenders and cage props that roll out among the tables.
Chicago-Style Hot Dog + Windy City Cherry Cola (Cocktail)
A bite-sized Chicago-style hot dog on a skewer, with ketchup and mustard, paired with a Windy City Cherry Cola.
🇺🇸 New York, USA
New York is a showstopper: an aerial duo in flowing white, swinging and lifting each other high above the stage.
New York-Style Cheesecake with Berry Compote + Velvet Espresso (Cocktail)
A mini New York cheesecake topped with berry compote, paired with a Velvet Espresso.
🇧🇷 Brazil
The grand finale is a full Rio carnival: showgirls in towering feather backpieces, samba rhythms, and the whole cast back on stage.
Chocolate Brigadeiros + Rio Finale (Cocktail)
Classic Brazilian chocolate brigadeiros rolled in chocolate sprinkles, paired with an orange Rio Finale.
final thoughts
Overall, the show is engaging, sexy, and entertaining, featuring acrobatic interludes and world-class singing. I initially thought it would be a simple dinner show, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the production and performances. It’s the kind of experience that makes you want to add the destination to your travel bucket list!
The Tasting Menu consists of just one bite-sized canapé and a drink per destination, so don’t expect to leave feeling full. The drinks also lean on the sweeter side. Go for the Tasting Menu if you want the complete stage-and-table experience, and whichever option you choose, arrive early as seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
