Obviously a great movie - but would it how translate to the stage?
The answer is, very well! It's a fun show, but it is very reliant on its star character.

 

A great show, finally in a theatre that does it justice. Very much a new production, with new characters (the smoking car updated to a hydrogen fuel engine), new songs, and new staging in a warehouse style theatre where the skating can go both around and through the audience. Very nicely done and a great start to this year's summer show season.

 

I've seen these advertised and have never been, so it was time to give it a try. The movie is played on a large screen, but the soundtrack is played by a live full orchestra and choir. Different!  I enjoyed it, but, not so much that I need to go to this kind of event again! I'll stick to movies in the cinema and musicals in the theatre!

Hamilton is a great show, quite different to the norm, both in it's rap-style, and in its single set. We have now seen this show three times, this latest being in Singapore in April 2024.

  
 
 

I think this was our 4th, or possibly even 5th time seeing Matilda - but it is such a good show! How could we resist when it was passing through Singapore?

First time seeing Madagascar, and the last! It's fun, but definitely a kid's show. Still, when these shows pass through Singapore, you just have to go see them, especially if you haven't seen them before!

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!

 

This is a Disney production - so of course, it will be well done. However, staging in the Troubadour theatre made it fantastic. This is a "warehouse" theatre, where the actors are on many levels, around and between the audience, so everything is much closer and interactive. A great show, in a great theatre.

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.

A new production/interpretation by Andrew Lloyd Weber - and we were there for the very first show, with Andrew in the audience! Our ten-pound ticket was front row, which meant we could only see the bits when the cast were at the front of the stage - but it was good to be there for a first!
