Embittered Behavior of the Diva

When the heavyset diva (HD) agreed to join a low budget musical, the production was elated because someone of HD’s calibre can add value to the show. Although HD does not have as many fans, she is a well-respected performer, and certainly can bring in an audience. But unfortunately, the production people were disappointed at the attitude of HD. They felt that HD should not be as demanding as she knew from the start that the production was running on a limited budget. The other performers who had international exposure did not show any qualms unlike HD.

First, HD complained about how she did not like the food served to them. Wanting to please her, the staff bought her food. When the food was served, HD said she already had someone buy the food she liked. Second, the stage manager got peeved when the road manager of HD insisted on implementing their own stage direction. The SM instructed her to enter at stage right but the RM said HD preferred entering from the left side. Then, HD asked why she was made to wait in the wings. It was explained to her that the performer on stage still had a couple of songs left before her turn. Third, the RM and HD insisted they handle their own playback. The crew could not argue and gave in to their request. HD went onstage and sang but the playback was wrong. Finally, HD left even before the finale number without saying goodbye to the production team.

These incidents earned HD a new monicker among the production, “balyenang mal-edukada,” which fits her whale-sized attitude.
