MAMMA MIA! Singapore 2018
We first watched this musical LIVE in West End London back in 2004 long before the kids came along. Quite honestly, we had no idea then what we were ‘in’ for then but we remember fondly the theatre bobbing to the addictive groves and tunes of ABBA and moved by the plot filled with universal themes of hope, reconciliation and love. Since then, we have also caught its hugely successful Singapore musical run in 2014 as well as its latest movie sequel. To date, the smash hit MAMMA MIA! musical has … [Read more...]

TORUK – The First Flight by Cirque Du Soleil Singapore
Welcome to Pandora! Having enjoyed the many Cirque productions that were performed on Singapore’s shores, I admit, I was slightly disappointed to hear that this latest installation will not be performed under Cirque’s iconic Grand Chapiteau. But shortly after clearing the airport-style security, my disappointment quickly dissipated – there in front of me, inside Singapore’s Indoor Stadium was Pandora – the planet home to the Na’vi people based on James Cameron’s award-winning movie, Avatar. … [Read more...]

Julius Caesar by Singapore Repertory Theatre
Murder Most Foul. Quite honestly, I wasn’t familiar with the story of Julius Caesar but that didn’t made any difference. This is coming from someone whose knowledge of the play, was about the famous Roman ruler who died in the hands of his infamous friend, and yes, that final phrase ‘Et tu Brute’. In fact my 10 year old daughter’s knowledge of the plot far eclipses mine. Despite that, I enjoyed Shakespeare in the Park: Julius Caesar thoroughly! Here are 5 reasons we think yo … [Read more...]
Evita In Singapore 2018: A Review
‘Evita? In Singapore?’ I raised my eyebrows when I first caught sight of the advert last year. ‘This would truly be a first’ I thought, and in many ways it is. After all, this is not your typical Andrew Lloyd Webber musical that would usually land on Singapore shores. There’s no dramatic love story with a sweeping score (Phantom of the Opera), no colorful dances and jig-worthy tunes (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat) nor are there any make-believe animals (CATS) or one with hig … [Read more...]
