The first time we had ever seen "Legally Blonde" was as it passed through Singapore on an Asian tour, but what a bundle of fun it was!
Perhaps not the greatest musical ever written, but well worth seeing - at least once...  OMG!

As you know, we rarely miss a show when it comes to Singapore, and certainly not when it is one of the greats! So, we were not to miss to Evita!  It lived up to expectation too - great show!

Another show passing through on the back of a UK West End run. Very different, as you might expect, but lots of fun - I certainly enjoyed it!

 

Another show passing through! Not Shanhong's favourite - but actually a good production - maybe I'm biased as it came from the West End - but the cast were great - and the local children also good. So, a good time was had by all!  Let's face it - the tunes are very catchy!

 

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.

 

I wasn't sure about this one - I'm sorry - this was written and created in Singapore - and I guess I had no idea what to expect - but I have to say I was VERY pleasantly surprised. Great songs, fantastic costumes, and a simple, but highly effective set made this as good as any Broadway or West End show I have ever seen, and would very happily pay to see again. This deserves to make it to the West End - and if it does - I recommend you go to see it!

 

Never one to miss the chance of a show - I managed to get a last minute booking for La Cage aux Folles in Wolverhampton on the way back from South Devon! Perhaps not one I'm queuing to see again - but it was fun!

 

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!

 

Another great show passing through Singapore, and anyone who knows us knows we are not going to be able to resist! Unfortunately sound in Singapore is always quite low, so it didn't have the impact the London performance had (and, when we saw it in London, Whoopi was in the lead role - that can't be beaten either) ... but it was still lots of fun!
