My Premiere as Ellen and Saigon reunion

I recently had my premiere as Ellen!

We had a double matinee show! On the last day of the week I played the part of Kim at the matinee show and then I played Ellen for the first time that same evening!

Here's a picture of me in my Ellen costume with Kok-Hwa who plays the Vietcong general Thuy.

Here's a snippet of the new Ellen song!! Our production has the WORLD PREMIERE of the  solo for the character of Ellen. The song is called "Maybe" (The Dutch title is "Toch Nog") and it replaces the previous song "Now that I've seen her". There are a lot of discussions about if the show really needs a new Ellen song, but personally, I like the new song and our Ellen (Brigitte Heitzer) sings it beautifully!!!

The original Dutch production premiered in 1996 and it ran for more than three years. Our current production premiered 15 years after the first one did.

The company organized a reunion and invited about 80 people who were involved with the original production, some people even flew in to attend.

It was an extremely special show for us that night.

The current cast and the previous cast of 1996-1999.

The previous Kim and Chris sang the duet "Sun and Moon". Then our current Kim and Chris joined in and they sang "The Last Night of the World". It was so beautiful and touching, it gave me goosebumps! I felt very grateful to have been able to be there and witness it live!
