Kapuso singer-actress Julie Ann San Jose is one of the stars who said to be thinking of auditioning for “Miss Saigon” but she did not appear on the auditions. She said in our interview before that one of her life dreams is to star in a Broadway musical.
Julie Ann’s closest showbiz celebrity girl friend Frencheska Farr passed the final auditions. She also was supposed to be on the list of the auditionees but she didn’t make it.
So what’s the reason why she didn’t audition to Miss Saigon? She backed out?
“I already have the slip actually pero nagkasakit po ako at di na ako nakapunta kasi I was sick and I really lost my voice kaya hindi ako nakapag-audition. Wednesday ‘yung audition pero Sunday pa lang, may sakit na ako. And then it took me like three to four days para magpagaling pero hindi talaga kinaya,” Julie Ann answered.
“Hindi ako nakarating kasi hindi talaga kaya. Sobrang sayang lang kasi I’ve been dreaming na magtry ng broadway para ibang feild naman. ‘ Di lang dito sa Philippines, at para international din. Kasi ‘yung Miss Saigon, ginawa ko siya sa school namin and I portrayed the role of Kim. So somehow medyo may idea na ako,” sad Julie Anne shared.
She even let us heard her audition piece “Sun and Moon” from broadway musical “Miss Saigon.” Upon hearing the piece, it seems that she’s really prepared for the audition.
Eventhough she didn’t make it to the auditions, there are lot of opportunities and successes opened to her including her platinum self-titled album under GMA Records and lot of endorsements. She may missed the auditions for “Miss Saigon” but you’ll never know. “Miss Saigon” is such a great play but I think there are more Broadway plays to come here in the Philippines, adaptation maybe?
We’ll never know. It’s better for her to try acting to our Philippine theaters first like in Repertory Philippines, or Stages or Trupets? What can you say guys?
