By the way, I made a new friend during my very recent corporate show. 20-year old Maita Ponce, who was my castmate and fellow-Ozian in our "Wicked" journey to Emerald City (see photos below). Although she is all sweetness and light (the genuine article!), Maita is nonetheless a feisty and extremely talented young lady. A budding visual artist, I am already very impressed with her work, a sample of which you can check out in her BLOG . A few tidbits about her: she's a consistent honor student, an art and theater aficionado, a very fast learner (she knew the choreography better than anybody during rehearsals), is a cheese lover, and can even play the piano by ear. Is there nothing this pretty young thing can't do?
Meanwhile, here's what we looked like that day--
Performed a song-and-dance number called "Ease On Down The Road" (which is not part of "Wicked" but comes from a very related show called "The Wiz") to open the show. Costumes are obviously less Ozian, but still very green...here are Caisa Borromeo, Maita, and their Ate Jennie! (My castmates are getting younger every year, oh dear.)
Having lunch at North Park (read: the north parking lot at the Westin Philippine Plaza Hotel) with the "Wicked" gang...
Goofing around at our Executive Suite before our makeup call...
Me in full Ozian regalia...
Maita in an Ozian pose...
Elphaba (Sweet Tiongson) and Glinda (Mayen Cadd)...
Ze Wizard (Audie Gemora)...
Ozian folks bidding everyone bye-di-bye...
how very "wicked" you all look! haha! would have loved to see the show...:)
