Ok Guys,
Here's what happened this week.
This Saturday, when I turned up for rehearsals, there was only 3 guys on time. Two lovely ladies walked in slightly later but thats fine. The problem was that no-one else turned up. As such i couldn't continue with Rehearsals and I had to send everyone home.
Writing this here, was not as easy as it seems. I was frustrated and angry a little bit hurt too. For those of you who didn't turn up but already told me in advance, i don't mind. Exams and family get in the way of things, i understand. However for those of you who didn't come for no reason or last minute reasons, all i can say is its about time you reflect on your commitment to our musical. Cast AND Crew inclusive.
I must thank Sameer and Kanitha, two cast members whom I can count on time in and time out. You guys are my rock. I'd want to thank Cheryl for always taking ownership of the musical and for expressing my thoughts for me in her facebook note. Cheryl lives in a totally different part of Singapore but travels half way across the island to come for rehearsals every Saturday, and she does it with a smile. I urge you guys to take the time and read through what she has written. We have two new additions to the family, Shaanan (boogieman) and Kishen (village chief) and we need to welcome them as a group.
I honestly hate getting angry, especially at your guys. I have come to love this band of people in Peter Pan like a family and if you notice thats how i treat you guys. Please do not take this for granted. Some of your attitudes HAVE to change. This goes for CREW members twice.
Imagine coming to Rehearsals fully pumped up to meed disappointment again and again.
Not fair to us, and by us I mean ALL of us.
The pride and joy and tears you will share as a unit on stage after our final show will be the best moment in your life. This I promise you.
Next week, we Restart. We Reboot. We Revamp.
I want new energy, new attitudes because we're starting a new act!
I'll leave it at there for now.
See you guys on Sat and updates on schedules will be up Tuesday after 11pm.
