& Juliet - London - June 2022
We saw this for the first time in Summer 2022, not really knowing what to expect - but it's a fun, jukebox musical, relating life after Romeo for Juliet... after all, a girl has to move on. Except, what if Romeo didn't die either and he doesn't want to move on?

& Juliet - Singapore - Oct, 2023
Although we had literally just seen this in London less than a year earlier - how could we resist going again when it passed through Singapore? It's a singalong show - jukebox theatre at its best!

2006 - Joseph - SRIS
I directed one of my favourite musicals, Joseph, at Shanghai Rego in December 2006.

2007 - Winter Concert - PTIS
Our Winter Concert is always a musical highlight! Here we are on the stage at Prem in December 2007.

2014 - Cinderella & Rockerfella - CIS
When you are asked to put on a show at short notice - it has to be one you've done before. So, Cinderella & Rockerfella was dusted off for a new production at CIS in December 2011.

2015 - Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat - CIS
It seems, every ten years, I do one of my favourite shows, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. This year, with the additional opportunity to be part of a professional 'Andrew Lloyd Webber' Gala performance, it was even more special to put on this show. Enjoy!
The photos are great! Remember, clicking on any image opens the full gallery.

42nd Street - London - June, 2018
The final show on this initial London visit was 42nd Street. Unfortunately, not one we enjoyed. If you are into tap - it has its moments, but unfortunately, nothing else!

A night at the Opera - Singapore - Sept, 2015
One of the parents in Shanhong's school was taking part in an opera (she's in the picture below), and very kindly treated us to tickets! Â So a night at the opera it was! Â Unfortunately the Singapore Lyric Opera does not offer video clips of their work - and so I cannot show you anything of what we saw. However, as there was one aria I recognised, I thought I would include a version of that song instead. What made it even more special, is that is one of the pieces Shanhong had to sing to enter her Conservatory as a young student!

Ain't too proud - London - July, 2023
This was a half-price ticket - it could have been good or bad! It was in-between. Like the much better "Jersey Boys", its a true musical based around the lives of "The Temptations". Worth seeing - but, unless you are a real fan of the original group, you probably wouldn't go a second time.

Aladdin - London - June, 2018
Hot on the heels of School of Rock Friday night, and Matilda Saturday lunchtime, Saturday night we were off again, to Disney's Aladdin!
-
Andrew Lloyd Webber - Singapore - Jan, 2025
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!

Aspects of Love - London - July, 2023
A very well-known show, and with Michael Ball starring - we simply had to see it during its short run in London. Its not the best, but hey, love changes everything!
-
Ball & Boe - Plymouth - July, 2022
Two of our favourite musical actors/singers were doing a concert series - so, of course we had to go!

Beyond the West End - Shanklin - June, 2023
Another summer seaside show.... but, wow! This one was West End quality - much better than expected - hats off to whoever put this together.
-
Billy Elliott - Budapest - June, 2018
This was a moment of madness! Having spotted a poster while walking around town, and discovering a) tickets were VERY cheap and b) the theatre was off the same main road as our hotel, we booked to go and see Billy Elliot, in Hungarian!Â

Brief Encounter - London - June, 2018
Still enjoying London Theatre, after a morning at Hillsong Church, we went to see a Matinee performance of "Brief Encounter" held in a cinema. Mixing live theatre with music (the actors playing all the instruments themselves), and with cinema effects too, this was surprisingly good!
-
Chicago - Singapore - Feb, 2017
Another popular show passed through Singapore, so, of course we had to go!

Come From Away - London - June, 2022
First time seeing 'Come From Away' - a very simple show - but effective, and a unique musical retelling of a moment in History. Not Shanhong's favourite - but I enjoyed it!
-
David Foster - Singapore - Nov, 2012
David Foster came to the Canadian International School in Singapore, where Shanhong works.
Â
Â
For anyone who does not know David Foster, he is most famous for discovering other artists, and writing songs for them.
Check out the names on this collection of David Foster hits!

Dear Evan Hansen - Singapore - Oct, 2024
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.
Â
As a local production - there is no official trailer video - so here are a few of the official production images instead.Â
