ok so here i am, right after "animal farm" closed, gearing up for another full on show!
"the full monty" plays in singapore from the 18th of june thru till 4th july, and it is in full swing rehearsals now! yes, it's the broadway musical version of the movie. and i gotta say, what a blast it is to be in a cast of guys. i mean, there's girls, but it's pretty much a guys' story and point of view being explored, and we have a hilarious time! it helps that i'm with such great guys, and old friends; adrian pang (we've known each other since we were kids) dan jenkins, hossan leong, andy hockley....just fooling around together, it's guy humour, guy pranks, it feels like a locker room with a few beers! even the choreography is male, which i love! (you never ever see that, right? well now you will)
having said all that, it actually is a show for everybody. you know, when you really hit one point of view hard, you cast light on all the others beside it. we have girls points of view, even a kid's point of view, all in the same show. don't let the striptease fool you, this thing's got heart. ok ok, and balls! but heart first, really.
i gotta say though, having just finished animal farm and going into this, my body and voice are a wreck! i can barely make it up the stairs! went for physio the other day and screamed the whole damn time, till my therapist and i had to stop and just laugh at each other. but hey, i love it. once the body heals up, i'll be rockin', so you better come see!
