Billed as the Number 1 Greatest Musical in the World - we were excited to have West Side Story passing through Singapore. On an Asian tour direct from Broadway, this had everything going for it - but turned out to be a real disappointment. We didn't go on opening night - so there was no excuse - but sound levels were appalling and the cast and orchestra simply seemed unrehearsed. I am quite sure, with the right cast - and a good sound crew - this could indeed be a great show... but for this tour - our school production 5 years ago was better.

 

Desperate to find any musicals in the UK we could see, I found 'Thoroughly Modern Millie' in Bristol - so called in for a night on the way down to Devon. A show we hadn't seen before - it is more 'traditional' in nature with great choreography and tap-dancing - thoroughly enjoyable!

 

Any excuse to see a show, so while on holiday in Dublin - I got tickets to see 'Wonderland' - a modern musical version of the Alice in Wonderland story. A fun night out: there are some catchy tunes and some fun moments!
