SingaPOPera!

The booklet is sooooooo pretty!

Awesome awesome!

The tixs!

Caught the 75 mins long muscial featuring iconic scenes from Beauty World, Fried Rice Paradise, Chang & Eng, Forbidden City, Hotpants, A Twist of Fate and Puteri Gunung Ledang at the University Cultural Centre on Fri at 7pm (thank goodness, I made it on time) with compliments from the BF's sis.

The above musicals were penned by local composers Dick Lee (who also sang a solo cantonese version of Snow. Wolf. Lake) and Ken Low.

The Singapore Pop Orchestra was also present to lend mesmerising tunes to the musicals and was an ear-opener indeed. The artistes involved in the musical include Emma Yong, Robin Goh, Gani Abdul Karim, Alemey Fernandez and Denise Tan, and PA Talents Dance Ensemble.

Boy, they could sure sing! My fave parts of the musical include the flamboyant Beauty World, the touching Chang & Eng, the retro Hotpants and the wrenching Puteri Gunung Ledang...

Beauty World... cha cha cha!

Dr Vivian Balakrishnan was also present to grace the event. After the rousing finale, guests were treated to a reception upstairs and we saw Vincent Ng one of the chorographers for the musical and one of ex-lectures for Sociology mingling in the crowd.

Lovely, SingaPOPera kept me entertained and was a musical that I remains deeply embeded in my memory.
