KD Estrada at Alexa Ilacad
NGAYON pa lang ay talagang abangers na ang milyun-milyong KDLex fans sa pagbibidahang musical play nina KD Estrada at Alexa Ilacad na “Walang Aray” na magsisimula sa February, 2023.
At tulad ng kanilang mga supporters, super excited na rin sina KD at Alexa na mag-perform nang live para sa original musical ng Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) na “Walang Aray”.
Pero knows n’yo ba na muntik nang ayawan ng Kapamilya actress-singer ang lead role sa nasabing play bilang si Julia?
“Honestly, when we were in New York last August we watched a lot of musicals thanks to direk Lauren (Dyogi). He introduced us to musicals.
“While we were watching, we were so inspired, so amazed. So we said parang ang saya. It looked really hard but I think we would like to try,” chika ni Alexa.
“And then when we were offered Walang Aray, I just wanted to say no. Not because I didn’t want to do it but because I was terrified. I still am terrified.
“Horrified. Because I’m not used to this. It’s totally different from acting. We have take twos. We don’t have to memorize a 100 pages. We only have to memorize the scene that’s going to be taken.
“We don’t sing live and we have prompters if we need it. Pero this, ibang klase,” kuwento pa ng dalaga.
Pag-amin pa niya sa panayam ng media last November 28, “I had no faith in myself. I was just fully doubting. I said I can’t do that, I can’t. Mapapahiya ako. Hindi ko kaya.
“But everyone from Star Magic, they really believed in me and said, ‘Kaya mo yan. Kayanin mo yan.’ And then I prayed and asked God for a sign. Because I want to do this but I’m scared to say yes because it’s a big responsibility.
“So sabi ko kay Lord, ‘Lord, please give me a sign para makasagot na ako ng confirmation that I will join.’ And then I saw an Instagram post saying na, ‘If the only thing stopping you is fear, why don’t you get to know it?’
“So I said okay, I think this is the sign. It’s time to challenge myself. The songs are not my genre as well and nanginginig talaga ako pag kumakanta ngayon kasi I’m scared,” pagbabahagi ni Alexa.
Sey pa niya, nawala ang lahat ng kanyang takot at pangamba nang magsimula na silang mag-rehearse ni KD kasama ang production crew ng PETA.
“On my first day I remember I was scared to sing the songs again kasi I kept complaining, ‘Ang taas po, hindi ko po kaya! Please change it.’ I kept complaining.
“And then after the first day when I went home sabi ni mommy, ‘Kumusta kayo? Puwede ka pa humindi.’ Sabi ko, ‘I love it! I loved it so much.’ It was so fun. I loved it.
“And ngayon, pag wala ng practice, I get sad. I got sick recently and everyday I was texting my handler that I’m so sad I’m not there. I felt so bad I’m not there. So it’s great. I love it. The learnings, hindi mapapantayan ng ibang experience.
“I’ve been enjoying everything, working with these amazing people who inspire me everyday that I am on this stage or watching on those chairs.
“So sabi ko, ‘This is the best decision that I made I think this year. I’m so happy’ At wala na akong ibang bukang bibig sa bahay o sa labas kundi ito. Hanggang sa Star Magic Ball kinakanta namin dun. It has consumed my life. So I love it,” paliwanag pa ng dalaga.
