Zaturnnah’s Newest Dodong Revealed

Events, Hunks Entry Feed Trackback

Two nights ago, someone asked me, “ano favorite song mo?” I answered tentatively, “marami eh, nothing in particular, basta marami…” But the inquirer was not just about to give up, “isa lang, bilis, ano na nga ang favorite song mo?” Then without much thinking I burst into song…

Ikaw ang superhero ng buhay ko, ikaw…
Naliligaw ka man ngayon, ikaw naman ay aking natagpuan
Halika na sa piling ko, kita’y iuuwi
Dito sa bisig ko ika’y mahimbing

Ikaw ang ang superhero ng buhay ko, ikaw
Pag-ibig mo’t pagmamahal walang kinikilalang kulay o pangalan
Nais kong matutong magmahal ng tulad mo
Turuan mo ako, turuan mo ako…

Yes people, that’s Vince de Jesus’ signature song, integrally part of the box-office hit “Zsazsa Zaturnnah Ze Muzikal.” It was sung by the provinciano leading man, Dodong. Incidentally, Zaturnnah the musical is the latest offering from Tanghalang Pilipino, opening on February 6, 2009 at the CCP Little Theater. And because I’m such a big fan of this funny yet poignant theater piece, I will be once again watching it — on opening night! (I’ve watched it 3 times already yet I’m still excited to be part of the Zaturnnah Ze Muzikal experience. Ganon siya kaganda mga teh!)

Most of the past cast members will be reprising their roles. For this run though, there will be someone new. A new “Dodong” will alternate with Dodong-veterans Arnold Reyes and Lauren Novero. His name? Red Anderson.

Born in the Year of the Ox, Red Anderson, 23 years old (birthday July 13, 1985), lives in Quezon City and is a commercial and ramp model handled by Mercator. Prior to his modelling career, he was studying at Baguio City’s St. Louis University taking up Mass Communication.

His very first stage experience was in PETA’s 40th Anniversary offering, the musical “Skin Deep”. The summer following that, he went through and graduated from PETA’s Creative Musical Theater Workshop (Summer 2008). I saw their class presentation and I would say it’s impressive, given the amount of time they had to write the songs, weave the story, and stage the play. Galing! Red has natural comic timing, of course aside from his towering presence on stage, and good looks that slowly grow on you.

I was able to talk to Red on the phone briefly. I asked him if he was currently in a relationship. He answered, “single for 2 months already. Kaka-break ko lang.” Awww…. And my last question, “are you comfortable with gay men around?” He was beaming, “oo naman! I have lots of gay friends! In this industry, mapapaligiran ka talaga, pero ok lang sa akin yun. I enjoy their company, at di talaga ako mapili sa kaibigan. Basta ok ka, mabait ka sa akin, may respeto, dodoblehin ko pa yun pabalik sa iyo.”

Hmmm… what an interesting guy. In my brief talk with him, I somehow felt that among all the Dodongs I know (I’ve met them all personally — Arnold Reyes, Lauren Novero, and Janvier Daily) — this Dodong, this Red Anderson, despite the foreign-sounding name, fits the personality of Dodong the character the best. Promising. Very promising indeed.

So, tara na mga teh. Gorah watch Zaturnnah!

By the way, here are Red’s photos:

  15. Wow. Interesting thread about Red! Ha ha ha. I guess may kanya-kanya tayong interesting side sa buhay. Basta ang alam ko lang he will make a good Dodong because he has good comic timing, he can act, he can sing and he moves pretty well.

  19. I hope the theatrical version does the graphic novel justice. The movie was a total letdown to say the least. Rustom Padilla was such a bad choice. Who will be playing Ada on the stage? He has his work cut out for him.

    shannen at Jan 23, 09 at 1:59 am

  20. wow!!!
