It starts slow. Gradually, you begin to feel its effect. It can be something small that sets it off, then other major issues follow suit, then another and still another. You start to worry, then thought eats you up, until you cannot stop them anymore like dominoes toppling on top of each other.

No matter what starts it, the crumble is inevitable.

One after another, some talents of a supposed Major Organization MO have started jumping ship, scared to be trapped too late in the game. Yes, they are full of anxiety, fearful for their careers. Despite glowing claims made by MO, figures speak and their actions belie those claims.

Apart from a series of movements going on within MO, there have been a number of casualties in its production department. One of them is its Musical Show MS, once touted as its primetime weekend habit.

Inside sources have revealed that for quite a while, MS talents have been suffering because of all the cost-cutting measures being implemented in MS. For one, talent fees for dancers, choreographers and stylists have reportedly been greatly reduced. Budget for production numbers have been sliced, too, often times without anything earmarked for props. That is why MS staff had to recycle old props endlessly. Allegedly, everyone’s morale is at its lowest at this point.

They were also instructed to stop having major stars (those with big talent fees) as guests on the show, for obvious reasons. On top of that, and probably one of the worst – budget for the food during rehearsals had been totally cut out. How can one perform grueling performance on empty stomachs?

With all the aforementioned, MS production had lost all hopes that they would be able to reverse the situation. The lack of budget was the one single challenge that was impossible for them to hurdle. Thus a decision had been made to cancel MS altogether.

Will MS going off the air become a precedent for other MO shows to follow suit and seal their fate?

C'est la vie!
