No stage fright?

I don’t know about getting married for the second time, though. I think second-timers will still be having jitters that first timers have, marriage being marriage – it’s still a big commitment to make, isn’t it?

Or are we talking about a couple who are marrying each other for a second time? They’re, like, married, divorced each other and now tying the knot round each other’s neck once again?

But even then, I can’t imagine either party be free of stage fright at the wedding.

Ah, well, to each their own. Personal relationships being just that, that is, personal, we’ll let the interested parties figure it out for themselves. Here, let’s be satisfied with getting another useful phrase, stage fright, under our belt.

Alright, here are recent media examples:

1. AT the end of the 1980s, a sweet-faced teenage performer from Manila began a dream run on the West End and on Broadway.

At 17, Lea Salonga won the coveted lead in the new Cameron Mackintosh musical Miss Saigon after the producer had searched long and hard across the US and Asia for his new star. Mackintosh had made the 80s the decade of the mega-musical, bringing Cats, Les Miserables and The Phantom of the Opera to the world, and Miss Saigon also had the golden touch.

Salonga - and the show - became an overnight sensation. She captivated audiences with her moving performance as Kim, the innocent Vietnamese bar girl left behind by her American marine lover at the fall of Saigon. Acclaimed first in the West End, and then on Broadway, Salonga soon had an Olivier, a Tony Award and a whole lot of other gongs tucked away in her suitcase.
