The reaction of 9 out of 10 people who found out that I'm with The Canticle Singers this year:
"You sing?"
Yeah, I didn't know either, really :)
This is it. Six and a half months of intense rehearsals culminate to the next few days. I'm excited & nervous at the same time. I get stage fright, even though I've been on stage many times for various reasons. By God's grace, I'm gonna just relax, get up there, and have fun. As our host told us last night at our sound check & full-dress rehearsal, "Sock it to 'em!" :)
The write-up on the show (for more info, visit www.thecanticlesingers.com):
The Canticle Singers proudly presents A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING, from Wednesday 16 July to Sunday 20 July 2008 to be staged at Lambang Sari, Istana Budaya, Kuala Lumpur.
Come experience a joyful celebration and fusion of some of Broadway’s greatest music and acclaimed pop, rock, folk, jazz and gospel hits; with music ranging from ABBA to Schonberg. Revel with Mama Mia, whistle along with Oliver, stroll through Anatevka with Fiddler on the Roof, find your rainbow with The Wizard of Oz, groove through Earth Wind & Fire's September, soar over Rome with Light in the Piazza, roar delightfully with Lion King, rock with Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, be captivated by Miss Saigon, mesmerized by Sweeney Todd and more.
With a chorus of sixteen vocalists and two guest soloists we will take you on a passionate journey spanning several decades, from the 1920s to the present day, moving through a musical kaleidoscope and enjoying an ecletic anthology of songs and choral selections from distinguished stage and screen productions, billboards and pop charts that will keep you humming well after the show. Net proceeds from the musical will go to Rumah Juara, a home for children.
