review:
For once, I am very proud of Singapore and our local drama and musical talents. Kudos to the director Loretta Chen (sister of artiste Chen Zhi Cai) and singing sensation Laura Fgyi.
Men-women-men-women, a mix of identity, interwined with a love tale, and embedded with witty and hilarious gay puns that set me rolling with laughter. And this is the only theatre/ musical production I watched locally that did not send me to slumberland (Ok, I only fell sleep for 15 mins and missed the scene where they fell in love at Cassell's, darn.). The others like CATS and Chitty-Bang-Bang were more of kids' show and yea, I slept soundly in the comfort of the aircon theatre.
I think the well-furnished sets, dazzling costumes (*heart * Victorian fashion) and draperies, well-cheographed songs and dances deserve your attendance. Never mind that ST gave a not so brilliant review for such a brilliant show is not justifiable in my opinion.
Like a friend's friend who said, watching theatricals is very subjective. And I liked what I saw so much, that I am going to help by exercising i-WOM. I sms-ed all my gay friends immediately and asked them to go see it.
Ends 29 Nov. Productions by Zebra Crossing. Oh, and as the show is running in the theatres, Loretta is away in a developing country building homes for the unfortunate children. A very confident lady to leave her show behind and let it run without her!
I look forward to their next remake of the classics.
