It finally pushed through...after many PMs here and there, and text messages.
I met up with Marie and Dino on February 7, 2009 at CCP to zee...ehem..I mean...see the musical version of Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah.
ZsaZsa Zaturnnah is of course the comic book super-heroine created by Filipino graphic designer and illustrator Carlo Vergara (shown in picture here with Marie and me).
I first speed-read thru the first comic courtesy of Janine, one of my software developers in a previous company. It was not only a hilarious read, but what my querying endlessly about one gay term after another probably gave my team of young people a fit of coughing and giggling (and they did know about those gay terms!)
The show was really a barrel-full of laughs, dancing and singing, fashion forward aliens (syeet..ang init siguro nong costume), gay zombies (puts a new perspective to being sexually-assaulted), a hunk (ehem), a giant frog (I love frogs!) and melodies guaranteed to make you sing along (afterwards of course)
Dino with with Vince de Jesus above who not only plays the role of Ada but is also responsible for the musical's lyrics, composition and musical direction.
After the show, although we waited for Eula Valdez (who plays the mighty, drop-dead sexy ZZZ) she made no appearance but we managed to corner and get a picture with Red Anderson who plays Dodong, Ada's love interest.
We three proceeded to Tropical Hut afterwards to munch on food and tidbits about ze muzikal...
