Godspell
My golly, I couldn't wait for work to end (technically yesterday) because I was going back to DLSZ to watch Godspell.
GA dropped by the office during the afternoon, just when we had just ordered pizza. Hahaha, his main purpose was about Doubt tickets, but then he ended up copying CDs and chatting with Ate Sally and me.
After work, I immediately left for ATC, where Rain and I had agreed to meet. We were supposed to meet at 6pm, but it was only 5:30 by the time I arrived. So I decided to kill time at Timezone. Hahaha, I had Percussion Master all to myself. So I kept playing until I finished all the credits I had in my Powercard.
Rain had picked me up at around 7, then we went to Primo's house first to pick up the bags of chicken nuggets he had ordered. Then we had to go to his cousin's house to drop off a suit he had borrowed.
When we got to DLSZ, we went straight to the theater and immediately got our tickets from Mrs. Telen. After I took my tickets from her, I suddenly noticed that the elderly man clad in white next to her was Brother Ceci! Wheeee! He even asked why I wasn't involved backstage in this production, awww... Anyway, a few minutes later, the house was open, and we quickly found seats in the middle of the orchestra. That's when I saw Bunny sitting a couple of rows in front of us! My golly, I missed that girl! How appropo of us to meet again with Pam in a theater.
Aside from Pam, the Godspell cast (alumni) included Ria, Mae and Mikki. The cast was pretty good, but all throughout the show, the technicals really sucked. I mean, the show hasn't even started yet and you could hear the lapels and loud shuffling from backstage. Oh yeah, and Lawyn was also involved in the show, fiddling with the lights.
Once again, I found myself mouthing the lyrics of the songs. Having seen a production of the musical once (in St Scho by DLSU's Harlequin Theater Guild) and working as AD in another production in a Playshop class showcase (where Rianne was part of), I knew all the songs almost by heart.
Pam was adorable, hahaha. It's been quite a long while since I last saw her onstage (take YEARS) that it was quite refreshing to see her as this perky-perky girl following Jesus around. For some reason, Joonee's character annoyed me. Actually, it was practically the same when she performed in You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown as Lucy. She had this certain posture and she never speaks all the clearly because she spoke too fast. The Jesus character... well, he reminded me of those guys who are in these kids' shows, always smiling and always upbeat. There were a couple of songs that made me want to jump up and join them, and some were purely nostalgic. Aw...
Congratulations, you guys! It wasn't the best show, but I enjoyed it a lot.
Hahaha, yeah, it wasn't really that great, but it didn't suck either. When I found Ria outisde the theater when I was about to leave, she had asked me how the show was. I said it was pretty good, but she could see in my eyes what I really thought. But Ria! What made it great was seeing all you guys out there strutting your stuff.
After reuniting with Bunny and Pam after the show (by the way, whose camera was that? Can someone email me the copy of the photo of the 3 of us?), I found Bro. Ceci again, just mingling. He came up to me with some small talk, and added, "When will I be seeing you up there?" as he gestured towards the stage. *sigh*
It was great to see all those people. Familiar faces during my high school theater days. While Bunny, Pam and I were still huddled at the apron, I found Roderik behind the chicken wire. When I was talking with Mikki, he introduced me to Chris (who I knew as Carl when we were both in The Sound of Music). Paging RAIN!!! Then David suddenly emerged from backstage. Now that was a guy that I haven't seen in years, and I really mean years. And when I was outside and was ready to leave, I noticed this tall guy in a pink shirt. It was Gary! Wheeee! When I saw that it was him, a couple of jumbled songs from Pepe en Pilar started playing in my head, hahahahaha!
Oh yeah, ANNA! I saw you in the theater, but I didn't get to say hi. Sorry! I couldn't find you during the short time before I had to leave.
One of the best times I had tonight was after the show. Hanging out at Starbucks and talking, then a pleasant ride home. Having one of the best conversations I ever had with a friend just outside my house. During that time, I now know the answer to that question Nicco asked me a few nights ago.
Time to hit the sack. G'night, y'all!
