Went to school this morning to get an entry permit for the outsiders in our Joseph cast. Then I met up with Ari for lunch at McDo because he was going to accompany me to Wack Wack Towers, where I was to meet David and some of the other actors of The Wedding of the Century.

When we got to Shang, I couldn't resist going to Body Shop to buy some stuff first. Anyway, we set off again to Wack Wack Towers and waited in the lobby for David and Gina. When they arrived, I realized the guy with the really curly hair sitting on the other side of the lobby was Kiko, who was going to be part of the cast as Robert, the groom. Wahahaha, I just had to tell them that Ari might want to try reading a part because he did have theater training (for a very short time). We then went to the library at the 2nd floor parking area, where David handed out copies of the scripts for us to read for today's script reading. I finally got to read the entire script, and it was pretty funny at some parts, like the crazy wedding singers, the psycho deacon, plus crazy pair-ups. Oh yeah, I get to play Sheila, one of the bridesmaids. Heeheehee...

Two girls arrived a little later, April and Chona, and they happened to be Kiko's friends from UST. I forgot which one of them is which, but one of them will play Lori, the maid of honor, and the other will be the head server at the wedding reception.

Anna, the girl who will be playing Brandy (the bride), finally arrived, and we started the script reading. We all had so much fun reading the entire script, sometimes reading other parts because there were only about a handful of us in there.

After the reading, we all went up to the 9th floor (which I think is Gina's unit). Gina served us with pancit (Mmmmm...), and then Ari got to talk with her and David. Hahaha, David, Gina and Anna all thought that he was brought up in the US because of how he spoke English. Naks...

Anyway, I had to get to school then for Joseph rehearsals, and some of the others had to leave as well, so Kiko was the only one who stayed.

So how was the first day? It was pretty good. Miss Cindy briefed the cast, and then everyone introduced themselves. Then I borrowed the VCD played from the LRC so we could play my video of the musical. We spent most of the time sitting on the floor of the multipurpose room watching the video, with Miss Cindy, Rain and I off to one side discussing each scene and song number. It was so amusing watching the cast from that angle because they were all so intent. I even saw at least a couple of them mouthing the lyrics. Heck, Rian was practically singing the whole libretto, hahaha!

Sir Jed arrived sometime in the middle of Act 2, with his book of the musical scores. After the video, the cast trooped down to the chapel (it was the only free place that had a piano we can use, because the pianos in the music rooms were reserved for Music Production students) so Sir Jed can figure out their voices, and even made them sing one of his original songs. Hahaha, after everyone was done singing, he and I got to talk about his song. He wanted to sell it, but he needed someone with a really good voice to sing it, because without a good singer, the song can sound... well, bad. Hahaha, and then he figured someone like, uhm, Christian Bautista could sing it. Sir Jed! I was thinking the same thing! Hahahaha! Then our topic shifted to celebrities who could play Joseph, and he brought up Ian and even Nyoy, because he was a CSB alumnus. Right... been there, done that. We already tried calling before, didn't work.

Nyak, because of Sir Jed, my LSS tonight is "The Way You Look At Me". Hahaha, as if I mind it at all.
