You will all see a different interpretation of Jesus Christ this year, alongside with Lance Raymundo's younger persona in acting it out as Jesus Christ, in The Greatest Story Ever Told about humanity and Religion.

This time, Lance won't look rugged and bulky, unlike the previous years wherein he had long hair and a great body figure as Jesus Christ. He preferred not to grow a beard, too, this year. He simply wanted to portray a neat-looking Christ this time around.

"But I will be wearing a different costume", Lance said. "Last year, the loin cloth covering me was pretty wrapped-up and conservative. This year, the cloth is minimal and tinier. It's the vision of the Costume Designer, you see. And direk Lou approves of it."

It will be seen on the Crucifixion scene, that we clarify. The most-awaited part of the Senakulo. E-hemmmmm... (Sorry po, J.C.---rms*)

Anyway, Martir Sa Golgota is half-musical. And Lance will have one song number and many choreographed dance scenes.

Lance will have 3 shows in this play. One today at Sta. Rosa, Laguna Greenfield District, another one tomorrow at Greenfield District in Mandaluyong (near Shaw Blvd.), plus one more soon.

Miggy Moreno, another actor, alternates with Lance as Christ in other shows and venues.

"There's a lot of humility in me portraying the role of Christ", Lance concluded. "And I don't feel na naiintindihan ito ng mga tao. You see, the play itself is already a blessing and the honor of portraying Jesus Christ comes only once in a lifetime."

Very well said, Lance.
