She would stand on top of the couch, singing songs from Disney,” he reminisced. “And then when we saw the auditions for Tam on Miss Saigon, I asked my wife if we want to try. If she enjoys it, then let’s encourage that. Obviously, we want to encourage our kids if they show interest to help nurture their skills. So we went to the audition. She got accepted and very happy kami.”</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/4/2/exclusive-guji-lorenzana-shares-daughter-cassidy-s-miss-saigon-journey-948"><strong>READ: Guji Lorenzana shares daughter Cassidy’s ‘Miss Saigon’ journey<br/></strong></a></div><p>Guji is currently part of 9Works Theatrical’s musical RENT, where he plays the part of Benny Coffin III for its Manila production.
