During the press conference for his pre-Valentine concert “1 for 3” with Christian Bautista and Aicelle Santos, Mark revealed how he received an invitation to the January 8 auditions of the Broadway production of Aladdin on January 7, but only got to read it on January 10.
Had he read the email on time, he would have flown to New York City even at the last minute just to make it to the auditions. “Oh yeah, alam mo 'yung ganung level na? Na parang kaya kong kumuha ng ticket nang last minute, pero ayun talaga, ganun talaga."
He added, “Akala siguro nila nasa U.S. ako, na parang Cubao lang ang New York. Pero tuloy lang, audition lang nang audition.”
Mark said he's grateful for his friends who expressed their support for his Broadway dreams. “Willing 'yung mga kasamahan kong supportahan ako at yun yung importante sa 'kin, nung nag-post ako ang daming nag-message sa akin na 'Mark, go for it, email them back.'
“Si Christian nga sabi, 'Mark, kami ng bahala rito sa concert.' Ganung klaseng support…”
In conclusion, he shared, “Yung idea of Broadway kasi, parang once in a lifetime. At the end of the day, kung para sa 'yo para sa 'yo. Naghahanap pa sila pero wala pang schedule for another audition kasi nag-gather na sila ng team na. Hindi ka puwedeng magpa-set lang ng ibang audition time. Mabilisan lang 'yun doon.”
Mark also shared his personal dream for this year. “Ang dream ko talaga for this year, sana may gagawin ako ulit ako abroad. Kahit hindi theatre, kung magka-Netflix project, why not… dream naman ng lahat 'yan, sino bang makakaalam kung 'di si Lord lang. Kaya siguro ang dami kong naiisip para rito, habang nandito ako, ang dami kong naki-create.”
