Our team's journey to Avenue Q was certainly long. Hogi already offered the show to us during the first run but we were still busy with the other show that time. And then came this run, I gave Hogi my word that I will be buying a show from them but the rest of the team seem reluctant in investing as we were also negotiating with another company for another show.
Glenn and I formed a new team with Em-J still in tow but then came the problem with the play date. Luckily, another show opened which Hogi offered to us. Thanks Hogi!
The first few weeks were unusually slow for us but as expected, it picked up when the show opened. My phone has been buzzing non-stop as early as 6 in the morning. No kidding! The last few days have been a flurry of meet-ups. (I swear my legs nearly gave up on me). Last Thursday being the busiest with my first delivery at 10am and my last at 1am. Good thing I have an understanding manager who accompanied me.
Here are my personal thanks to those who helped us in more ways than they are aware of:
To the team, thank you for believing that we can do it...and we did! Special mention to Rhommel for allowing some things at work to temporarily take the back seat and to Glenn for relentlessly selling, picking up, delivering and swapping tickets! Gail for giving me my first major sale! She was promoting it long before I did.
Hogi and Lawyn for the countless referrals.
Gerard and Ysa for the Sykes blast!
Jackie of Fleur de Lys, thank you for accommodating our request!
Micah and Sen for posting our ads, to Paolo and the others who forwarded our text invites!
Jocelyn of PEP.PH for the press release.
Peewee for being supportive, andun ka na sa theater...wala pa kami!
The Cast, Bobby & Chari and the people of Atlantis for giving the audience a truly entertaining evening!
and to a host of others who have shown their support! Thank you!
Have a Fuzzy and Merry Christmas everyone!
