To Manila theatre goers, Audie Gemora is like a godfather who's always there to either grace the stage or be behind the stage and make sure everything works in the play production.
I believe he really outdid himself when he played Albin/Zaza in the local theatrical production of La Cage Aux Folles which we saw last night with my friends! Nathan Lane played the movie version (The Birdcage) of this role and he was hilarious in it.
But Audie takes the role into a higher level and makes the character all his own! I was literally seeing Albin/Zaza in a totally different light! Audie's voice is amazing and I'm sure he really worked hard to sound that great!
It was one of the best performances I had ever seen by a local actor in a local production. He just really owned the stage - and practically taught every other actor - how it's really done! Kung sa Tagalog pa, may K talaga sya magtrain ng mga bata sa theater - because his work is by itself a master class altogether.
