20th May marks the end of a 3 month long journey for me. Yes the Phantom of the Opera Season Singapore 2007 has ended. A few days back i was telling myself, how much I want this to end. now that it has ended, I feel weird, Happy and Sad at the same time. I guess it started to kick in that its ending when i started to write postcards to the two Conductors, Vanessa Scammell and Craig Renshaw. In the postcards i expressed my thanks for this wonderful experience. I must say i did not perform to my best. Oh well i only hope and pray that the next time i get such a chance, i'll do far better.
Here is a group shot of the whole Cast and Company. see if you can find me hahhaa.
Misses....
- The cramp Orchestra Pit
- The food corner in the Guys Dressing room.... hmm wonder why its there. hahaha
- Craig's craziness in the Pit....great 'In-Pit' Entertainment
- The Gun shot in Act 1
- the Falling Chandelier in Act 1
- the Green Room food...very nice !!!!!!
- my desk partner without whom i would not have gotten trough the musical.
- Desmond, for all the conversations at the Subway, and Cab rides home.
- Eugene for all his funny emails
- Andris for great company when i'm bored.
- my score which was my friend for this whole season.
- Vanessa conducting with her Handbag...ahhahahaa real funny, man
- Craig's funny conducting and funny faces he makes while conducting.
- my locker where my mutes called 'home'
Here is my pass and the brochure i had trough the whole season. NOTE: the brochure was to fan away the smole from the dry ice and also when the pit gets too warm. hahahaha my POTO satay fan hee hee...
During the break between the end of Act 2 and the Playout, i was thinking to myself, This is the life of a professional musician. you just play music day in and day out. you meet new people all the time. some you love to work with and some you just hate. oh well.... it was a good glimpse of the professional life.
Sad to know that MUSIC can bring two people together and also pull two friends apart. how can this be? it surprises me. How can something so magical as Music be so evil and destroy friendships. the Wonders. Yes its true. POTO ended on a slightly bad note.
Thanks...
- Vanessa Scammell for this opprtunity of a lifetime
- Craig Renshaw for your jokes.
- Miss Vogue my wonderful accompanist without whom i would not have passed the POTO auditions
- My Desk partner for the great company you gave...
