00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:05 Anthony, thank you very much for inviting us to your show.
00:11 Thank you very much, Ben Sir Nelson.
00:13 How was your vacation in Thailand?
00:16 So far, so good.
00:18 It was a bit hot, but that's what we expected when we went to Bangkok.
00:23 I'm with my JPI Entertainment family.
00:26 It's actually a company trip.
00:29 So I'm a tourist now.
00:32 We've been to touristy spots, like temples.
00:39 You used to be a performer, now you're a tourist.
00:43 So you can explore, unwind, and soul search.
00:48 Soul search?
00:49 Soul search, why not?
00:50 Anthony, let's talk about Switch.
00:54 I was intrigued the first time I saw the poster.
00:57 I was like, "What's Switch?"
01:01 Of course, I want to know from you directly, what is Switch?
01:07 Sir Nelson, we thought of using the word "Switch" for the concert.
01:13 Because to those who are listening,
01:16 if they've been following my career path since the year 2023,
01:22 I made the biggest switch in my career,
01:26 which is the musical theater.
01:28 When I made my last album, "The Musical,"
01:32 it was my first time, and it was a big change for me.
01:41 Because of the environment, the culture in the theater,
01:46 it was the biggest switch for me.
01:50 Not only was it a big change for me, it was also the biggest switch
01:57 because a lot of things changed in my career.
02:01 A lot of doors opened up for me, opportunities.
02:07 So it was like a culmination of what happened
02:12 from the first time that the Kapuso saw me as a performer on TV,
02:20 to my transition to the theater.
02:24 That's what I want the audience to experience in my concert.
02:27 I met you when you were just starting out as a balladeer,
02:32 and then you suddenly went to the theater.
02:34 And now, you are going to make a bigger switch.
02:39 And aside from that, there's also a surprise
02:44 that I haven't announced yet.
02:48 But it's also one of the big things that I'll do in 2024
02:54 that also involves musical theater.
02:56 Because I'm going to do another production that's also big.
03:00 I'm so excited about this.
03:02 I don't want to spoil it for you.
03:04 Yes.
03:05 To the updaters, I told you that you'll like this.
03:09 Especially the theater aficionados.
03:11 They'll say, "This is perfect for Antony."
03:14 Without a doubt, I said, "Antony will get this."
03:18 - Thank you. Thank you. - Congratulations.
03:19 - Congratulations in advance. - Thank you.
03:21 I'm also praying that I'll be able to do a musical once a year.
03:30 And answer prayer again.
03:32 Because I don't want to forget everything that I learned in 2023.
03:39 Because I learned so much in theater.
03:41 Discipline, being professional, everything.
03:45 Being who I am today.
03:47 I'm going to transcend it to people around me.
03:51 Because if I haven't seen them for a long time,
03:53 and then, for example, we see each other again,
03:55 it's like, "You've changed a lot."
03:57 I'm confident in speaking.
03:59 It's like, "You're different now."
04:01 I feel like I'm in theater.
04:03 I also noticed that.
04:04 From being a shy young man,
04:09 now, when we see each other, when we talk,
04:12 we're different.
04:13 Maybe you call it maturity or something.
04:16 You can say that, maturity.
04:18 And I like that too.
04:20 And of course, over the years,
04:23 we should also show that somehow, there's growth.
04:26 And I'm so lucky that there are a lot of avenues,
04:31 a lot of platforms, a lot of opportunities
04:34 within GMA and also outside.
04:35 And of course, theater also helps with your confidence.
04:40 Yes, yes.
04:41 You've been live-streaming every day, right?
04:43 For the whole year.
04:46 I did, I did what?
04:48 58 out of 60 shows of "Kaling El Bimbo" last year.
04:52 That's a lot.
04:53 Weren't you tired?
04:55 Because it's still 58.
04:57 Yes, I got tired when I got sick.
05:01 Maybe because I was tired,
05:04 and I have so much on my plate.
05:08 And it's like it's piled up.
05:11 It's like it still needs to be 100%
05:13 even if you have a bad feeling,
05:15 even if you have something to look forward to that day,
05:16 you still have to fight.
05:17 But if I go back to what I went through,
05:22 it's okay for me to do it again
05:24 because it's a big help.
05:26 If I didn't get tired, if I didn't cry,
05:29 they would say that I cried blood.
05:33 I can't say that I'm fulfilled
05:36 in my experience as a theater actor.
05:39 People call you "Kapuso Pop Rocker."
05:43 Does that explain the hair?
05:44 Why from clean cut,
05:46 you're already a rock star?
05:49 You can say that because
05:52 actually, the one who coined that moniker for me
05:54 was Ms. Joy Marcelo.
05:56 In 2020, I think,
06:00 or this is the branding that was called
06:03 because they saw that my voice
06:06 suits rock also, pop.
06:08 But since I did "Anguling El Bimbo,"
06:11 which is also full of pop and rock songs.
06:16 So the arreglo is already rock, right?
06:18 So I actually love the moniker
06:22 because it suits my voice,
06:26 and my branding,
06:28 and my look now.
06:29 With the touch and all, and the long hair.
06:33 So I guess you'll hear more rock songs from me.
06:37 Pop rock, to be exact, in the future.
06:40 But wait, Antonio,
06:42 I remember aside from singing,
06:48 you also had gigs before in acting.
06:52 Because I can watch you anytime,
06:54 just in my wish.
06:56 Yes, yes.
06:57 I feel like it helped me
07:00 to have more experience on TV
07:03 because it didn't change my art
07:09 that I did in theater.
07:13 And I enjoyed it, actually.
07:15 So for me, I'm always looking for acting projects
07:19 maybe on TV and in theater.
07:22 And it's actually one of my--
07:28 Not just singing,
07:30 but acting and singing are my two loved talents.
07:38 Talents?
07:38 I also host in Tay-Dan,
07:40 so I do a lot, actually.
07:42 But those two are the first.
07:44 But if you had to choose,
07:45 what's your number one?
07:47 Singing, really.
07:49 Singing.
07:49 I love singing.
07:51 I feel like,
07:53 even if I'm the last one,
07:55 I should still be in tune.
07:57 You said singing, acting,
08:01 of course, hosting.
08:03 What do you think is your most talented?
08:07 Because I know you're a multi-talented person.
08:12 I think it's dancing.
08:13 Because I still need to learn.
08:17 I don't know how to freestyle.
08:19 So if I have to do dancing and freestyle,
08:23 I'll just stay away.
08:26 I'll just sing.
08:28 But what you're doing, Anthony,
08:34 the way I see it,
08:36 you always reinvent yourself.
08:39 It's good for an artist to reinvent himself or herself
08:43 every now and then.
08:44 That's the sign of an artist's mind.
08:50 Yes, yes.
08:51 What about you?
08:52 You're right.
08:52 It's important for you to reinvent yourself,
08:54 to be creative.
08:56 It's important for me because
08:58 in a pool of so many good-looking,
09:01 talented artists,
09:04 it's important that you work hard to be noticed.
09:09 It's hard to just give it away.
09:13 In the show business,
09:16 every year, there's a new talent.
09:18 So there's a tendency that
09:21 if you're just relaxed,
09:24 and you're just a petex,
09:26 and you don't put in the effort,
09:27 you might just disappear.
09:30 You might get forgotten.
09:33 So as an artist,
09:34 even if you're not emerging,
09:35 even if you're not starting,
09:38 always you give your 100 best.
09:40 100% best.
09:42 And with reinventing,
09:47 you'll find new things that will make you shine.
09:54 And learning.
09:55 It's good to have something new to learn.
09:59 And you'll see that your audience
10:02 can do a lot.
10:04 It's happiness for me.
10:07 That's right.
10:08 Okay, Anthony, let's get personal.
10:11 To all my show business friends,
10:14 you're the one on the list of
10:19 people who really value your privacy.
10:21 Tell me briefly,
10:22 how did you get into the show business?
10:26 It started after my dad's passing in 2014.
10:32 Because back in 2013,
10:35 or 2013, years ago,
10:39 my first job was as a band vocalist.
10:43 I'm always out of the country with my band.
10:46 We were stationed in Japan, Malaysia, Singapore.
10:51 So I was always far away.
10:52 And I was a breadwinner.
10:56 I never took a vacation.
10:57 I would only go on vacation for 1-2 months.
11:00 And when my dad got sick,
11:04 I suddenly realized that
11:09 it's okay that I can provide for my family.
11:13 But the time I lost because of them,
11:18 I realized that it's more important to me
11:24 that I'm always in the Philippines.
11:26 So when my dad passed away,
11:28 I thought of becoming a singer in the Philippines.
11:33 Since I felt that I was ready to perform.
11:37 How old were you when you told me this story?
11:41 I was 23 or 24.
11:43 Around that age.
11:45 You were still young.
11:46 Yes, I was still young.
11:47 And then,
11:49 there was a competition in Itbulaga.
11:53 It was in 2016.
11:57 Spogify.
11:58 Yes, Spogify.
12:00 Matt Lozano.
12:01 Matt, of course.
12:03 You were also with Yasser Marta.
12:06 Yasser Marta.
12:08 We were still young.
12:10 We were in the top 5 of Spogify in Itbulaga.
12:14 That was the sign for me that
12:15 I was ready to join the Philippine showbiz industry.
12:21 So I didn't stop.
12:22 I tried again in the other field,
12:24 in the so-called "Tanghala".
12:26 Then,
12:27 I joined WKOPAT in the USA
12:30 to represent the Philippines.
12:32 Then, the clash.
12:35 The clash opened the door for me in GMA.
12:37 You said that your dad's passing
12:40 really opened a lot for you.
12:43 Do you have any regrets at all?
12:47 Because you can't go back to that time.
12:49 Well,
12:51 part of me says also that
12:54 is it right that you left?
12:56 Is it right that you're far from your family?
12:59 Is it right that I was not there when my dad got sick?
13:02 Because he had cancer.
13:04 When he was diagnosed,
13:06 it was already terminal.
13:08 Stage 4.
13:10 And
13:11 that very reason
13:13 was the reason why I left again.
13:16 Because I had to provide for my dad's hospitalization.
13:21 So, it was his treatment, right?
13:23 Yes.
13:24 When I was in Singapore,
13:28 every single night, I cried
13:31 when I came back from work
13:33 before I could sleep.
13:34 I cried because
13:36 I was not there for him.
13:37 But also,
13:39 that was the sacrifice.
13:42 Because if I wasn't in Singapore,
13:44 I wouldn't have been able to provide for my dad's hospitalization.
13:47 And
13:48 my only regret was
13:51 that I wasn't there for him.
13:52 But also,
13:53 I'm thankful because
13:55 there's still a part of me
13:57 that I'm thankful for because
14:00 if it wasn't for me, who would have done it for me?
14:04 And I had to step up because
14:07 even though I'm the youngest,
14:09 I feel like I'm the only one
14:11 who can earn a lot
14:13 to be able to support my dad.
14:17 To make up for my sadness,
14:19 I was through video calls every day.
14:21 When I woke up, I would call him.
14:23 And I could see how
14:26 my dad's illness progressed.
14:28 It was painful for me, but
14:29 he didn't see that I was crying.
14:32 Though I really cried after the video calls.
14:34 That really hurt.
14:36 And I can't forget our last video call.
14:39 He didn't recognize me.
14:41 It was like he had dementia.
14:43 So he was just in front of the
14:46 computer, but we didn't talk.
14:49 And that was
14:50 so painful.
14:51 I still remember it to this day.
14:54 And
14:55 because of what I went through,
14:58 I realized that
15:00 family is the only thing that can
15:04 make you rich, successful,
15:07 and famous.
15:08 If you don't have that thing,
15:10 which is your family,
15:12 and if you don't have them with you,
15:15 everything that happens in your life
15:19 is all a waste for me.
15:21 So I decided that
15:23 no matter what happens, I'll go back to the Philippines.
15:26 And I will be successful in the Philippines.
15:29 I never thought that I would fail.
15:32 Because every year,
15:34 I did my part.
15:35 Like,
15:36 if I fail here,
15:37 I will try another one.
15:39 If I don't pass here,
15:42 I'll try to audition for another one.
15:45 If this isn't my break,
15:48 then
15:49 I'm convinced in myself.
15:51 This is not being arrogant,
15:54 but I'm convinced that I can do it.
15:55 I'm firm in my decision that
15:59 I will do well.
16:01 I will be in the Philippines.
16:02 I will be a singer.
16:03 And that's it.
16:05 And I'm thankful that it all led to
16:08 to here,
16:08 to where I am now.
16:10 I'm really sorry, Andrea.
16:11 I know it's just a question.
16:13 But
16:14 what I felt when you were answering it,
16:16 it opened again some wounds in the past.
16:19 And I'm really sorry.
16:21 It's okay.
16:23 But since we're talking about it,
16:25 and I'm sure a lot of people can relate to it,
16:27 I would like to ask,
16:32 what did you learn out of that?
16:35 Aside from the importance of family,
16:38 or
16:40 the importance of time for the family.
16:43 But of course,
16:44 personally,
16:45 while you were moving on from that grief,
16:49 did you learn anything that you can share?
16:52 I learned a lot.
16:53 First of all,
16:56 I learned to take care of my family.
16:59 That's number one for me.
17:02 You're blessed when
17:05 you take care of your family
17:07 and you take care of them first.
17:09 But
17:10 what I want to learn from those who listen to me
17:13 every time I share
17:16 is
17:19 be a believer,
17:21 a number one supporter of yourself.
17:23 And
17:24 you don't need affirmation
17:28 or validation from others
17:31 to be successful.
17:33 And I believe that if you put your 100% heart
17:38 and
17:41 you're coming from a good place,
17:43 where no one is pushing you,
17:45 you're just a good person,
17:47 and you know
17:49 that no one is taking advantage of what you're doing.
17:53 Success is always there.
17:58 It's just close to you.
17:59 It's just a matter of
18:01 if you're willing to take the leap
18:05 and move forward
18:08 and do the sacrifice.
18:12 And for me,
18:13 you should always fight
18:15 as long as you're alive.
18:18 Just fight, always.
18:19 That's all.
18:20 I want to inspire those who listen to me.
18:23 I'm the product of
18:28 not luck for me,
18:30 but I feel like I really worked hard
18:33 where I am now.
18:34 Because there are a lot of failures,
18:36 a lot of rejections.
18:38 That's right.
18:40 Do you consider yourself a big failure
18:44 in your life?
18:47 What was my biggest failure?
18:50 Oh my God.
18:51 For me,
18:55 well,
18:57 failure for me is that I didn't go to college.
19:01 For me,
19:02 if I have time,
19:05 I want to study.
19:06 Because
19:08 there comes a time
19:12 where I don't know if it's just me,
19:15 but a lot of my friends have already graduated.
19:17 So if they talk about
19:20 where they studied,
19:23 ES,
19:24 if they talk about their universities,
19:28 they share who their classmates are.
19:31 I have zero.
19:33 So I miss
19:37 the feeling that
19:40 I'll have friends who are
19:43 the best that I can be.
19:45 We see each other every day.
19:49 And this is our teacher.
19:51 Because I only have that memory.
19:54 College is just high school.
19:57 It's been a long time.
19:59 Nothing.
20:02 It's still
20:05 a goal for me that is yet to happen.
20:08 Because of course,
20:11 I also instill good values in my friends.
20:13 I have a mentor.
20:15 It would be better if they told me
20:18 to finish my studies if I did.
20:21 But you know, the "failure" you're talking about,
20:24 quote and unquote,
20:25 although for me,
20:27 it's not that big.
20:30 It's not too late.
20:33 It's really not too late.
20:34 Yes.
20:36 Actually, there are people who approach me
20:39 who are from a school
20:41 willing to sponsor my scholarship.
20:45 It's just that,
20:46 at the moment,
20:47 I'm busy with my mentor.
20:49 That's why I'm giving him attention.
20:53 And I feel like it's still fun.
20:55 It's still fun to study.
20:57 So for those who have the opportunity to study,
21:00 they should study.
21:02 Because it's a waste.
21:03 Because for me,
21:05 this is the perspective of someone who hasn't finished college.
21:09 If I have finished, I feel like I have a business.
21:14 I have other things to do aside from performing
21:18 and being on TV and on stage.
21:20 I don't have any other.
21:21 And I like those
21:25 who are younger than me.
21:29 They should value their studies
21:31 because it's different when you're done.
21:35 But Anthony,
21:36 you're already there.
21:38 We can't do anything.
21:39 You're right.
21:41 That's your calling.
21:43 So, we can't do anything.
21:45 That's how it is.
21:46 You're already there.
21:48 And what you're doing now
21:50 puts food on the table.
21:52 That's true.
21:53 Okay, 2024.
21:56 What do you think?
21:57 What do you think of this year?
21:59 This year has a lot of potential
22:01 because I can see that
22:05 you're feeling it.
22:06 Unlike 2022 and 2023,
22:09 this year is different.
22:10 The excitement is different.
22:12 This is the year that's super normal again.
22:16 Everything is back to normal.
22:17 So, for me,
22:19 this year is the beginning of
22:23 coming back to how it was years ago
22:28 when it comes to entertainment.
22:30 And I'm excited for everyone,
22:34 especially my fellow artists.
22:36 Aside from me,
22:37 they're doing a lot of things.
22:38 They have upcoming shows,
22:42 movies,
22:43 and social media has added to it.
22:52 There's another avenue also.
22:54 And a way for more people to get to know you.
23:00 So, 2024 has a lot of potential.
23:02 And for me,
23:03 I started a concert
23:05 and I have another production to do.
23:09 So, I'm excited.
23:11 And I think there are more artists
23:15 that I can explore.
23:18 I didn't switch last year.
23:21 But I think I've inspired a lot of actors
23:25 in GMA to also do theater.
23:28 And I'm waiting to see who they are.
23:31 I also have someone to join me.
23:33 So, you've recruited someone?
23:36 Yes.
23:37 So, stay tuned.
23:38 And more.
23:40 I'm just excited.
23:41 And more.
23:43 So, 2024, love life?
23:46 Love life?
23:48 It's not a priority at the moment.
23:50 As you can see,
23:51 my mom is the only one I'm posting.
23:53 That's right.
23:55 Wait, what's the hierarchy?
23:57 Of course, work.
23:58 What's next?
23:59 Love life or studies?
24:02 Of course, work.
24:04 Then, family, mom, and studies.
24:08 I don't have anything here yet.
24:09 Because when I was young,
24:11 when I was young, you'd think I'm too old.
24:13 That's when I focused more on love life.
24:19 So, now, as I'm working directly,
24:22 and I have a lot of opportunities,
24:24 maybe I'll be a little bit more excited.
24:27 But nothing serious yet.
24:29 I really want to savor,
24:32 and this is the word I'll use,
24:35 to exploit the opportunities that a lot of people are giving me.
24:40 And right now,
24:41 because I'm so happy that I'm the one who can bring my mom abroad.
24:48 I'll give her everything I want.
24:50 I built her a house.
24:52 My heart is so happy.
24:55 So, right now, that's my number one priority.
24:58 And I'm sure you're smiling down from heaven.
25:01 I hope so.
25:03 Because, you know, this is what my mom said,
25:06 my mom is quiet.
25:07 She's not super vocal.
25:09 So, when I told her, "Let's go to Hong Kong,"
25:12 my mom said,
25:14 "Do you know that's your dad's dream?
25:17 For me to leave the country.
25:20 Even just once."
25:22 So, I turned around a little bit,
25:25 I wanted to cry, but I couldn't.
25:27 But it's just so good in my heart
25:29 that my dreams are slowly coming true.
25:35 And I think this is my calling,
25:38 to make my family happy, especially my mom.
25:42 No one really forces you to have a love life
25:50 to be happy.
25:51 What if your love that you want to make happy
25:55 is your mom, or your dad, or your cousins,
25:59 your siblings.
26:00 There's nothing wrong with that.
26:02 Right, right.
26:03 And that love life is just there.
26:05 Yes.
26:06 So, yes.
26:08 You're just there.
26:09 Are you a mama's boy?
26:10 I'm a mama's boy, Sir Nelson.
26:13 As in, when I started,
26:17 I was always with him on TV,
26:20 on taping, on Studio 7,
26:25 on The Clash, he was always there.
26:27 Not anymore, because Mama's already 70,
26:30 so I don't want to expose him to a lot of people.
26:34 But I call myself a mama's boy,
26:36 and I am proud of that.
26:38 And I think I am this person,
26:41 a mama's boy,
26:44 who is very generous,
26:46 caring, sweet, kind,
26:48 to anyone, to all my friends,
26:51 and everyone who knows me now,
26:54 would agree.
26:56 And that's why I'm not shy to say I'm a mama's boy.
26:59 Because, right,
27:02 when people say mama's boy,
27:04 their connotation is different,
27:06 their approach is different.
27:09 Me, I'm a certified mama's boy.
27:12 And that's what I always think about
27:15 in everything I do.
27:16 I want this to be a "make my mama proud" moment.
27:20 There!
27:21 I always remember that commandment,
27:23 "Honor your mother and your father."
27:27 They didn't say, "Love your mother and your father."
27:31 Honor!
27:32 And the only way that I can bring honor
27:34 is to make them proud.
27:36 That's true.
27:37 And in everything you do,
27:41 always think,
27:43 "Make your mama proud of you for what you do."
27:46 Yes.
27:47 So it's just nice to think,
27:50 "Where will you take that?"
27:51 So always do good.
27:52 Anthony, before I let you go,
28:00 of course, I always end the podcast with this segment.
28:05 I turn the tables around.
28:07 You ask me a question.
28:09 Maybe you thought of something.
28:11 Okay, what is it?
28:13 As someone who is...
28:15 As someone who is...
28:19 a good son,
28:23 this question was asked to me last time.
28:27 Do you agree
28:29 if your parents,
28:32 for example, when you were a kid,
28:34 you were studying in a private school
28:38 and then you suddenly had a hard time
28:43 because your dad lost his job.
28:46 So to continue in a private school,
28:51 your mom thought of lending you
28:55 so you could enroll.
28:57 Do you agree that a kid should still go to a private school
29:02 and that parents should be in debt?
29:04 You know, I get your question.
29:07 And to be honest,
29:09 this is really giving a piece of my life.
29:13 It really happened to me.
29:15 We got to the point that...
29:17 I will not say that we were poor.
29:24 We ate three times a day.
29:27 But I don't know what his superpower was,
29:31 how he was able to support us, his four children,
29:34 that he was able to enroll in a private school.
29:37 So you know,
29:38 she was working as a hair stylist in a salon.
29:42 And I know that she was selling beauty products,
29:47 even langonisa, I remember that.
29:50 There was no social media yet.
29:52 I think my mom's leadership
29:55 gave her pride and joy
29:57 to the four of us siblings.
30:00 My sister is a successful accountant.
30:05 My brother has his own business in Chicago.
30:11 And I'm here in the Philippines,
30:13 a humble reporter
30:16 that she watches every day from across the miles.
30:19 I can't belittle what she did.
30:22 I know she had to do that.
30:25 And I have to give props to her.
30:27 Because if I were in her shoes,
30:30 now,
30:32 and that's the state of our lives,
30:34 I would be the one to transfer my children to where I can afford.
30:39 Yes, yes.
30:40 I just thought,
30:41 if you're the kind of kid that,
30:44 "I don't want to go to public school
30:46 because I can't take care of my classmates,
30:48 they're rich."
30:50 You're just doing it for the money.
30:53 For me,
30:55 I don't mind if I don't have to pay.
30:58 I'll transfer to a public school.
31:01 I think it's okay.
31:03 I will still succeed
31:05 because I'll still be a good student
31:08 even if I have to go to a public school.
31:10 Yes, yes.
31:11 At that time,
31:13 if she transferred me to any school,
31:16 be it private or public,
31:20 I think it's okay
31:21 because I have friends who study there.
31:24 I have schoolmates who are neighbors.
31:28 At that time,
31:30 I didn't know,
31:31 but it was very important to her
31:33 that we finish school in a certain school.
31:37 So she encouraged us.
31:39 Then she told me,
31:41 "You know,
31:42 I earned my hard-earned money when you were young."
31:47 I cried then,
31:50 but of course, I didn't show it to her.
31:52 But you know,
31:54 that's when I felt that we did good.
31:58 Yes.
31:59 We are siblings,
32:00 that's why we are so proud of each other
32:03 because we always think about how we can make our mom happy.
32:07 Right.
32:08 It's nice to feel that.
32:10 And your parents know that
32:13 all their hard work is for a good cause.
32:17 And you, Sir Nelson,
32:19 you're the product.
32:21 Anyway, Anthony,
32:22 what can we expect from Switch?
32:25 Maybe you would like to invite our listeners
32:27 to Updated with Nelson Canlas.
32:29 My dear friends,
32:31 of course,
32:32 I invite you all to watch my first solo major concert
32:38 this coming January 31, 2024.
32:41 The title of the concert is "Switch - What to Expect?"
32:47 Of course, we can't forget the genre that I sing and do on stage.
32:57 And I want to show you guys that side of me.
33:02 But I will bring you to my newfound love,
33:05 which is the musical theater.
33:08 So, half of the concert will be about Broadway musicals.
33:16 And there will be different shows.
33:19 So, I will transport you to that place.
33:24 And so that other fans can experience it too.
33:27 Because most of my fans are not really theater aficionados.
33:33 So, I also want to introduce that culture to them
33:39 so that they can enjoy what I'm doing at the moment.
33:43 There you go.
33:46 I'm sure I will be one of those who will be sitting there on January 31.
33:50 I will see you there.
33:52 Yes, definitely.
33:53 I will be one of those who will be standing ovation for you.
33:56 Definitely.
33:57 Thank you.
33:58 Anthony, thank you very much for opening up your heart
34:01 for our podcast today.
34:04 Thank you very much.
34:05 Thank you so much, Sir Nelson.
34:07 As long as you're here, my heart is open.
34:09 I enjoyed it because
34:11 it's rare for those who interview us
34:16 to have talent and power to open up my heart.
34:24 So, you're one of those, Sir Nelson.
34:26 Thank you very much.
34:28 Thank you.
