ALI BABA
AND THE
21 THIEVES
ROCK!!
Hahaha... yesterday was the first night... and it was amazing. Honourable mention: Jiajun and his impromptu, that was way smart. The atmosphere was great backstage. Maybe the only people who are super tense are the stage managers and technicians... apparently the actors weren't tense.
Okay, maybe I can't speak for the others. But I wasn't tense. In fact I was having fun, and giving the audience all the best in me. That's how it always works. As Danny puts it, "you just give, and give, and give. With 20% withdrawn so that you can keep some sense in your head and mind where you're going."
The audience paid $22, $18, $15 bucks to see us perform, not humiliate ourselves. They could've used the money to do something else, treat themselves to a meal or buy a CD to listen all night long. But they paid at least $15 for the ticket, because they'd rather see us. If the tickets were given to them, they wanted to reciprocate the giver's kindness by coming down to watch. They took two hours of their time to watch us. How can we not present our best? What was all that hard work for?
Six months later is today, the day we present to the public our blood, sweat and tears.
With so much blood, sweat and tears, let's finally enjoy ourselves to the nth power in Kallang!
Ali Baba and the 21 Thieves. We ROCK.
