A musical start to the year




















Watched two musicals over the last weekend.

Firstly it was a chinese musical - "Wild, Wild Rose" at the Victoria Theatre on 2 Jan, Fri. It's based on an old movie and the music are all familiar tunes (from Carmen and M Butterfly) made popular by Ge Lan. Generally a pleasant experience with Syn and Teng. The props could have been better though.

Then it was Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella at the Esplanade on 4 Jan, Sun with Lay Li. Although it's a familiar tale, the entire experience was pretty magical. Lea Salonga didn't fail to impress. :)
