24 days and counting (down)

Looks like the other principals are not contributing to posting the blogs so I have the opportunity to create reality as I see it...like how everyone absolutely thinks that the musical should be renamed 'Razak: the glory days of Malaysia'.
Anyway, was another 1 hour plus of us going through a reading of the whole script and definitely seeing the interaction between Malik (Ismail) and the other cast members gelling. The flow for the first few scenes are cruising along and high comfort level. Act 2 on the other hand needs tons of work and as Joe puts it, thank God the press are not viewing it this Wednesday. OMG is it less than 28 days before our first show??? Arrgghhh....
Today saw a couple of firsts i.e. the Gopal / Neno scene in Act 1 being blocked, Ah Mui (Sushi) making her first reading with us and the first tickets for the play being bought (by me!!!). Also, just found out that our ad is now being shown on Astro so currently surfing the channels with the recording function on my Astro Max on standby. Belinda also mentioned that it was showing in the Box Office but as luck would have it, the DVD player was on the blitz today.
Tomorrow is going to be first time all of us will be in costume and hopefully the dilemma of finding a pair of specs that don't make me look like the King of Librarians is solved. Its really hitting home that this is for real with posters coming up and the flyers being distributed. WoW as Delia would put it. If the posting today sounds disjointed its becoz I think I'm coming down with a flu so hopefully things will be ok tomorrow.

I thought we all agreed that the musical should be about the life of Delia - with the title - Delia goes down ... (to represent she is from Australia - get your heads out of the gutter boys!!!)
And yes you look like the greatest nerd the world has ever know in your glasses!
