Miss Saigon Theatrical Trailer 2014 featuring Rachelle Ann Go

Incredible! Wow! Rachelle Ann Go is amazing!

Medyo in-imagine ko na lang na this is a trailer for a Miss Saigon movie and not for the new West End 2014 production.

Les Misérables - On My Own

"On My Own" teaser clip from Les Misérables movie with Samantha Barks as Éponine.

Of course I saw this last weekend, so much for that 2 day blog hiatus. Tamad-moments na naman kasi ako.

Anyway, I'm still flabbergasted that this will be shown January 2013 here in the Philippines. Or I should've seen that coming since the trailers clearly says "Christmas 2012"

Lea Salonga, the original Kim in "Miss Saigon," has a few tips for those who want to audition for the revival of the hit musical slated next year in UK.

“Enjoy yourself, try not to get too nervous, stay on pitch…” she said in an interview aired on “24 Oras” Oct. 19.

The Philippine auditions will be held from Nov. 19 to 27. It is said that the “Saigon” producers are looking to cast as many Filipino actors as they can.

But it’s the highly-coveted role of Kim, the role that won for Lea Salonga an Olivier and Tony, that’s being under the radar. Some of the celebrities that netizens deemed perfect for the role are Rachelle Ann Go, Denise Laurel, Karylle, Anna Maria Perez de Tagle, and YouTube sensation Julie Anne San Jose.

Tuesdays With Morrie on December 2

This I shouldn't miss. Even if I have to file a leave of absence for work I will do just to see this.

I cried the whole time when I read the book, and I fear I will cry when I see this live on stage.

Mitch Albom's non-fiction novel turned into a stage play starred by Repertory Philippines' Miguel Faustmann as Professor Morrie Schwartz and Bart Guingona who'll be playing Mitch Albom, under the direction of Baby Barredo.

This one night event will happen on December 2 at 8 PM at the OnStage in Greenbelt 1, Ayala Center, Makati City.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one. And bring those tissues.
