From Diana Ross to Diana Horse

The beks (slang for bading which is the Filipino term for gay) in the office are ranting because our department's idea of showcasing living legend's evolution, has been been sacked by the company's Christmas party committee.
"Say what?" this was my reaction when when I heard about it. After sustaining blisters and terrible body pains from it, the choreography that we have practiced the other night, will just be a "learning experience".
Dianna Ross evolved into Diana Horse and ran away! As Allan, the choreographer, jokingly told us.
So who are we doing now?
The committee only gave us 2 options: Celine Dion and Lea Salonga! Lea is a known singer/stage actress here in the Philippines and she's also famous in Broadway. She was also the singing voice of female lead characters in some Disney films like Aladdin and Mulan.
If we chose her, we shall be doing stage musicals like Annie, Les Miserables and Miss Saigon (minus the helicopter).
Without second thoughts, we chose the Diva.
The concept if executed perfectly will be a monster. So we're keeping our high hopes. After all, setting up a Titanic on stage would be way easier than flying a helicopter in the venue (LOL).
And the best thing about it is we shall still be using the jazz grooves we rehearsed. Alright!

Poor man's Nicole Richie
