The musical "Avenue of Stars" will start its first performance at Hong Kong Cultural Center today. Samantha Lam was scheduled to do the rehearsal yesterday. Lead singer Roger Fung and Eunix Lee and the rest of the cast were there already for the rehearsal but Samantha Lam was not there yet. She eventually turned up an hour late. Reporters wanted to interview her when they saw her, but they were told they had to wait because they had to start the rehearsal. Samantha said she would be quick as she only had a few words to say. But they insisted that Samantha should start the rehearsal and she was a bit embarrassed by it.

Roger Fung was interviewed earlier. Speaking about Samantha was late, he told reporter that Samantha has been very anxious about the musical and she has lost a lot of sleep over it the past few nights; that was the reason why she was late.
It is Eunix Lee's first time performance on stage and it is also his first time working with Samantha. He said when he first met her, she didn't talk a lot; but when he gets to know her better, he finds her very chatty and easy to get along with. They talked a lot too and that made her less stressful. Samantha doesn't know how much she would get paid, but for the 4 performances, she would get a 6 figure sum and the fee has not been reduced either.
