And here they are, folks .... ta-DAAAH!!

I think Nick's maybe been feeling a bit like a new mom having to take care of the baby, and that it's about time Dad got involved. :p

So here's my first post ... :)

We've had more twists and turns in casting this show than there have been in the story of recent Malaysian politics. We'll spare you the gory details. Let's just say it was quite an ordeal. 'Nuff said. :)

Anyway, after months of "here-we-go-round-the-mulberry-bush" (right up until just last week), I'm proud to announce the ensemble cast of FOLLOW THE LIGHT.... *drumroll*

Here they are (in alphabetical order):

AARON KHALED - Joe
ADRIEN RITZAL - Marvin
ANRIE TOO - Angel
JUWITA SUWITO - Mary
LIANG - Bart
NICOLE ANN THOMAS - Angel / Innkeeper
RYDEE ANNA ABDUL - Zemira
SONG-FAN SEAH - Angel
SUZAN MANEN - Angel
TIM HOWE - Gabe
TONY LEO SELVARAJ - Gasper
XAVIER FONG - Mel / Innkeeper
ZALINA LEE - Bathsheba

Bathsheba, Zemira and Marvin are shepherds, and Bart, Gasper and Mel are "wise men" (well, sort of!), in case you were wondering.

Nick and I are really excited about this motley bunch of performers, which comprises a funky mix of great singers who are new to musical theatre, stalwarts from the musical theatre scene, TV actors, and total newbies with lots of talent!

Nick and I are co-producing the show under our new companies Nick Knack Productions and Kirton Call Productions respectively. I'm directing, Nick's the musical director and choreography is courtesy of the lovely and talented JUDIMAR HERNANDEZ.

Can't wait to see what we all collectively cook up to serve you from 2-19 December 2010 at PJ Live Arts @ Jaya One!
