A Review of Inside Out…from a Parent Outside In
We’ve not done movie reviews for a while but for this movie, I’m willing to make an exception because, as parents, there are some really good takeaways from the show. Is it suitable for children? There has been some talk online by concerned parents if the show would be recommended for children. And if so, from how old? Given that it is an animation with cute characters, lots of bright colours and plenty of humour and animated slapstick antics, yes. Kids of all ages will be quite … [Read more...]

The LKY Musical – A Musical We’re Proud To Call Our Own
Let me ‘cut to the chase’ and in typical efficient Singaporean style, tell you firstly that though I’m not one who shed a tear easily, this musical moved me. But it certainly didn’t begin that way. You see, I had no inkling what to expect. Riding on the SG50 year, there have been some prominent productions on Singapore’s history which have unfortunately missed the mark. Therefore it is with this mix of anticipation and apprehension that we took our seats in … [Read more...]
Singin’ in the Rain – Toe-tapping, Splish-splashing, Side-splitting Musical!
Like most, what comes to mind when we hear of 'Singin’ in the Rain' is the iconic scene of screen legend Gene Kelly totally soaked and dancing in the rain to the infectious title tune but beyond that, we've only got scant impressions of what the musical is about. But after last night, I’m happy to say that for this seasoned musical-going family, not anymore. Most musicals that have graced the stage of the MasterCard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore have reputations that preceded them, … [Read more...]

Review of Singapura: The Musical@The Capitol Theatre
Finally, after two decades, the Capitol Theatre is reopened. And how apt to commemorate this then to have a brand new musical about Singapore make its world premiere there. Our knowledge of Capitol's historic significance and Singapore's pre-independence past were at best sketchy so we jumped at the opportunity to watch Singapura: The Musical. The Capitol Theatre sits on the very site where it was built in 1929 – at the corner of North Bridge road and Stamford Road in downtown Singapore. In … [Read more...]
The Incredible Book Eating Boy by Oliver Jeffers
The Incredible Book Eating Boy is an engaging production on all counts. It's funny, playful and visual with a positive message about books. The story opens with a twist to the book title - Henry (the book eating boy) was having a nightmare of a boy-eating-book monster. We were swiftly introduced to Henry’s quirky family (his Dad and sister) and their really adorable fat cat (Fred) who brought plenty of laughter. Directed by Frank Newman, the production is … [Read more...]
