But I'd rather this, than doing nothing at all... :))
I'd rather this than not spending time with awesome castmates...
I'd rather this than... HAHAHA. :)) Fill in the blanks.. :))
So here's a short runthrough of my castmates and why I just keep on looking forward to rehearsals.
Tina Ramos as Audrey II
I apologize for her not having a face picture, we can't reveal yet how our plant would look like. But Tina Ramos is the bomb! A sexy voice, and an even sexier attitude, and well it's all about the sex, eh Tina? HAHAHA. Kidding! At first, I thought I wouldn't go along well with her because she's an Inglishera, and I'm the type who's: "Don't English me, I'm panic." HAHA. But when I got to know Tina more, I just love the fact that she's so funny and so sweeeeeeet, and even before I knew it, I'm speak English already. :)) She may have that intimidating aura, but FEH. Get to know the real Tina, she's just amazing. Inside and Out.
Luis Marcelo as Seymour Krelborn
The boy who ruined my dreams. And Dar's. HAHAHA. Well you see I wanted his role, Dar wanted mine. And well.. This guy came along. But yeah I guess Luis really does deserve the role more than I do. Take note, during our callbacks his voice was in poor condition. Which goes to show that the role is really meant for him and hands down to Luis for being able to give justice and color to Seymour. He also played Buddy the sidekick of Terry (played by me) in Freakshow (BlueREP's 2010 newbie production), How to juggle acads and rehearsals? Ask Luis, 2 BS Managament-Honors! :D
Maronne Cruz as Audrey
Yes.. She's the mother of Audrey II. She'll give birth to a plant. ABSURD right? That's the theme of the play. But, no, it's not that absurd. No humans giving birth to plants. HAHA. Well well well. What can I say about Maronne? She's probably one of the first few girls that gained my respect and, well, my heart when I was still a Newbie in BlueREP. With a very keen eye for fashion mix and match, and that intense rocker voice, and that milk-skin, and such proficiency in the English language like her close friend Tina Ramos, you may find it hard to imagine how she can be as crass and as finesse all at the same time.
Darrel Uy as Mr. Mushnik
DAR-ling, as I fondly call him, is the closest guy friend I can consider in BlueREP. Dar laughs at the fact that he always gets the old and fat boss-type in the plays. So Luis and I, getting the leading man type of roles, and then here comes Dar.. the old and fat boss. It has been our destiny. HAHA. But he's not fat right? And when you come to think of it, as adolescent college students, who can do such roles? Dar can simply do anything. And we're always at awe whenever he does Mr. Mushnik as he gives it a superb interpretation.
Roxci de Leon as Crystal
ALAAAAAAAAAARM... HAHA. It's an inside joke. Listen to "Skid Row" and you might have an idea of what I am trying to drive at. But hey hey hey. Remember my Cactus entry? She's the friend who gave that witty answer. I've been learning so much from this girl. She's been giving so much answers to my life questions... and she doesn't even know it. And oh, she's my future girlfriend. Sssshh.. she does not know about it yet. As Crystal, you'd see a fresh take on the role... It's just really... a too-friendly Crystal... Yeah all the guys who will watch the show will not fail to have their eyes glued to Crystal.. and well to Roxci of course. :))
Cassie Manalastas as Ronette
She is everyone's Mommah. She has been my mommah ever since my newbie production. With an amazing ear for the voicing/harmony shiz, she gives the thick sound for the trio as she hits the notes with her sassy Blecq accent. Only Mommah Cassie can do the authentic Blecq attitude and accent. Yes, so good that you'd really think she's Blecq. We may know by now the shows that she watches. I just love her presence in the room as I literally feel warm whenever she gives me a hug and a sweet kiss on the cheek. She's just so dear to everyone that we can really feel that something is missing whenever she's not around.
Abi Sulit as Chiffon
She's my dearest wife.. HAHA. We're both HR Parents in BlueREP and what plans we have for the Newbies. (Newbies i hope you're reading this) HAHA. I doubt it if you know me yet. ANYWAY, we've known each other even before we both set foot in Ateneo. She'll always get the BELTING roles. Yes. She's the soprano of the century. She can nail any song. Name it. I dare you! :)) I love the fact that we're paired as parents because we both love being crass. HAHA. I think that's the legacy we'd like to leave. And yes, no boring moment with her, you'd just laugh laugh and laugh. And did I mention, you'd just lauigh and laugh and laugh? 
Mela Tan as Audrey (Understudy)
Originally, the director did not want any alternate for any of the roles. But since Mela stepped up during the auditions and gave a memorable performance, she was given a chance to prove her worth in portraying Audrey. We all noticed how even in the posters, we'd say: "Ay, si Mela lang ang maganda..." HAHAHA. But that's true. With many suitors around, and acads, and the production, Mela must be living the fairy tale life. But think again. She is the fairy. UHM? Haha. Mela takes care of me during rehearsals and feeds me with food, she's just so sweet. And I can vividly recall how we partied at Fiamma. WASAK is the word. :))
So that's the cast! And if ever you're wondering about how my poster looks like... I have a separate entry for that. So also, watch out for me as I play, Orin Scrivello, DDS. And the Wino, the radio announcer, the customer, and another customer, Mr. Bernstein, Mrs. Luce, Skip Snip, and Patrick Martin. Whooo. I'm a very supportive supporting actor am I not? HAHA
So guys watch Little Shop of Horrors as we open on August 10!
