‘Miss Saigon’ star emusyonal sa pag-perform sa nasod
Gihulagway ni Filipino-Australian actress Abigail Adriano nga “dream come true” ang iyahang pagbalik sa nasod aron mo-perform sa role nga Kim sa Manila run sa Miss Saigon.
“It was so special. It was overwhelmingly emotional for me as
well,” sa interview niini sa Headstart sa ANC.
Dugang sa batan-ong singer nga 14 ka tuig na ang nakalabay sukad sa iyang katapusang
pagduaw sa Pilipinas, “I haven’t been here since 14 years ago and my memory of the Philippines has always been family, the beaches I grew up with my family in Zambales. So this is just life-changing for me. It’s a dream come true.”
Gibutyag usab ni Abigail nga nag-eskwela pa siya sa usa ka unibersidad dihang siya ni-audition siya sa maong role.
“It’s such a crazy story. I was actually in university, I was focusing my life on academics. You know I was only 18 at that time. I was taking a law degree. But I’ve
always been (doing vocal) training as a young kid.” Dugang sa theater actress nga ang iyang vocal coach maoy nidasig kaniya sa pag-audition sa Miss Saigon.
“And then I got to meet Cameron Mackintosh and he said to me, ‘All you need to do is be yourself because you’re Kim.”
Mapasalamaton hinuon si Abigail
sa kahigayunan nga modala sa maong role hilabi na nga mao usab kini ang gidala kaniadto ni Lea Salonga.
“You know it’s such an iconic role and, as she said, there have been so many interpretations of Kim. So I always come to this role with grace and sense of gratitude, knowing that this is a really vital role and I have to bring a sense of justice to my character.” /
