• [#67] Grrreater Show!

  
  

  Friday night (7:30pm ~~ )

  
  

  The show got greater on Friday night coz Ms Debby (Debi?), a.k.a. Debi Fujin was there. She is mega famous in Japan and she’s also the ex-wife of the King of Indonesia. And last night she was there giving ‘Tevye’ flowers coz she is a friend of his.

  
  

  Then the ‘bigger’ person didn’t show up and greet all of us in the corridor of back stage until the end of the show, the Princess of Japan! Yay, we got her to come to the show! She’s a friend of ‘Golde’ and we knew she was coming but due to security reason we were not allowed to know which show she was coming to…but yesterday we could tell right away before the show according to the security situation and the number of the special police! She dressed so normally that anyone could’ve mistake her for someone else. It’s a great honor to meet her! She had such powerful royal atmosphere around her and she has such Emperor’s nostrils!

  
  

  Then went to the same bar yesterday and Debi Fujin went there too! All the other gay boys in the bar just stared at her and her pretty boy that she’s been with for 12 years! Didn’t talk to her but think she must be such a sweet person. Didn’t stary long and before going home, had a Takoyaki with Jack and Lou (Chava). Soooo tired. But still went home on foot coz I don’t already decided to sing all my way home and that’s no good when there is a taxi driver around

  Saturday (2:00pm ~~ 5:00pm, 7:30pm ~~ 10:30pm)

  
  

  That’s just such a lovely day! Except for a  bit stomach-ache when I got to the theatre coz I skipped breakfast. Then I had to do this and that so had no time to eat…meaning I’m not professional enough My ex dorm-mate came and I wanted to be some support coz he doesn’t understand much English so I got the permission from the director and at beside him and the girl he brought and watched the show! Wow, I’m watching a great show for free, aha! My first-and-only time I stayed off backstage and watched the show. It was truely, truely amazing. I’ve been going to countless rehearsals but it just looked and sounded sooo great on real stage. Only problem was it is Saturday so lot of children, yuk! They talked so loud during the show, Mama Mama, and they have to pee, or climb up and down. I just wanted to deep fry them! Or perhaps their parents coz this is not a show for kids anyway. But anyway, my friend and his friend enjoyed the show a lot and he recognized a lot of people from ‘You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown’, which was also a show he went to see coz he was encouraged by me (see blog dated Nov. 17 2003 ).

  
  

  Had a big pizza party under the theatre during the break between first and second show. Coz we have 2 shows today so the energy level sort of went down during the break. I can tell from some tired faces…well I was tired, let alone the actors! But when the show started, it went boom! again. At one scene that Hodel kisses Perchik, a kid went ‘Eeeeeew!’ and it blew away all the romantic feeling or whatever that scene tried to deliver and the adults were just laughing! It was so funny!

  
  

  After the show finished successfully, I heard a lot sighs like  ’it’s gonna finish tomorrow’…or ‘we are gonna part soon’ kinda stuff and I was thinking Gosh! must be so much drama tomorrow and who is NOT gonna cry tomorrow after the final show? We went to the same bar…OMG, we were here every day! And the Master of the bar is so happy of that of course! Tonight was a huge group and Lenne again, sang her beautiful Summertime and shocked every one who listened to her first time. Talked non-stop with Katherine, the fiddler in the show and she is such a multi-talented, smart sweetheart with lots of stories!
