This was a special night. Base Entertainment had arranged an Andrew Lloyd Webber Symphonic Concert, and it just so happens that Shanhong is doing Joseph, an Andrew Lloyd Webber show at school. So, Base added some Joseph songs and invited Shanhong's main cast to be the backing childrens' choir. What an opportunity! So, while I was in the audience, Shanhong was exploring the backstage areas with the kids!

Although I am not a fan, Shanhong likes the ballet. So, when a Russian production tours in Asia - we had to go. Unfortunately, not a great production at all, probably a reason these dancers are touring in Asia rather than performing in Russia! Singapore audiences simply don't understand ballet etiquette either!

SIX passing through Singapore was not to be missed, even if it was the third time we have seen this show! It didn't disappoint - such a simple idea, yet so well executed!

I didn't have too high an expectation for this one as it was a local theatre group in Singapore. However, I was very pleasantly surprised by a great production and set, and a really good show! This is one to see again in London sometime.

 

As a local production - there is no official trailer video - so here are a few of the official production images instead.

 

This one was different, the first show to come out of Mongolia and go on tour. Singapore was also the first time the show has been delivered in English. Great costumes and some good stage effects; but, to be honest, not the best music or storyline. One I am glad I had a chance to see it, but would not go back again.

 


 

Miss Saigon remains my favourite of all musicals. So, how could we possibly resist returning when it passed through Singapore. To be honest, I have forgotten how many times I have seen this show - but it never disappoints.

 

This is a beautiful show, based on a Manga movie, it has a simple, but effective set, an endearing storyline, and some great songs. We were lucky to catch this as it had an exceptionally short run, but hopefully it will return, I'd certainly go again!

 

This was a surprise. I enjoyed it, Shanhong did not. Very bluesie 'new orleans' style - and although there was very little in the way of set, the music was good.

 

We'd seen a concert version of SiX, but never the theatre production - so went to see it. Great show, very simple, but also very effective!

 

Another fun show - not the first time we have seen it - but a good one to go back to when tickets are half-price. Unfortunately, not as good as the first time, but Whoopi was in it back then - that's always going to be hard to beat!
