Hoping That Kung Paano Ako Naging Leading Lady Gets A Rerun

Well, I'm just quietly hoping that PETA's Kung Paano Ako Naging Leading Lady gets a rerun! I was invited by a friend who works in ABS-CBN to watch it during it's first weekend but I think it was Mother's Day so it was a no-brainer.  

Then tragedy struck with one of our best friends dying in that Valenzuela fire.  She loved the theater and she would've watched this musical with us.  It's just that her passing was so sudden that watching the musical would rekindle too many memories of our play-watching, baka mag-iyakan lang kami sa loob ng PETA theater.  We even watched the Cherie Gil play earlier this year!

Finally, enrollment time din, so ayun, nasimot lahat ng budget.  I guess most of those who watched the play do not have kids or mga single pa!  Hayy, the sacrifices a parent has to make just so mapa-aral ang mga bata, charot!

Anyway, I am hoping that PETA would restage this musical, kasi based naman sa sales nila now, mukhang sold out naman sila - and I'm sure, marami, like me missed it for one reason or another.

Mabuhay ang Pinoy musical!

Veteran TV and Newbie Indie Actors in Virgin LabFest

It's really a pity that only the university crowd and a very few adult theatre lovers got to watch the plays I saw today! I watched Set E today and these three plays - Imbisibol by Herlyn Alegre, Isang Daan by Liza Magtoto and Kung Paano Ako Naging Leading Lady by Carlo Vergara - had veteran TV actors like Ces Quesada and Bernardo Bernardo and newbie indie actor Junjun Quintana in them!

They were really really funny and touching and well-written and indie actor Junjun Quintana really looked hot in his briefs hahaha to think I was just one meter away from him, parang gusto ko, ako na magpunas ng duguan nyang thighs.......

Incidentally, he also won this year's Urian award for Best Supporting Actor. He actually acts like Piolo Pascual and I won't be surprised if he follows Coco Martin's footsteps. He can really act! To think ang kasama nya, seasoned actors like Ces Quesada and Bernardo Bernardo!

Congratulations also to my friend Kiki Baento! Dear, you are such a joy to watch and I hate you because you get to kiss Hans again and again and again! Ang hirap talaga ng trabaho mo dear

I was surprised to discover that I was just as tall but heftier than Repertory actor Hans Eickstein who looked commanding onstage as a superhero, complete with a Green-Lantern-like costume!

Incidentally, all these plays were from last year's batch.
