Review: An Evening With Sean Ghazi with Special Guest Stephanie Reese

Ever since winning the inaugural Fame Awards in 1995, it’s amazing how KL-based performer Sean Ghazi has yet to helm his own solo show in Singapore. But 22 years later, An Evening with Sean Ghazi is a show that was well worth the wait, as Sean and guest star American singer Stephanie Reese presented some of the greatest love songs from stage and screen in a … Continue reading Review: An Evening With Sean Ghazi with Special Guest Stephanie Reese

Preview: True Colours Festival 2018

It’s honestly rare to see disabled people in the arts scene. Every so often, along comes an incredible performer like theatre performer Ramesh Meyyappan, or a work that attempts to show that the disabled are capable too, such as Musical Theatre Limited’s My Love Is Blind, but to have an entire festival full of disabled arts? Unheard of! But if you think that there aren’t enough talented … Continue reading Preview: True Colours Festival 2018

Review: Flying Through Time by Resorts World Sentosa

Watching a show by Choi Chul Ki is a rather unique experience. Ever since breaking out with the well received JUMP, his shows have grown from cult status in Korea to worldwide phenomenons wherever they tour. This December, in Resorts World Sentosa’s latest original production, they’ve once again collaborated with the Korean master of non-verbal theatre (after Chef earlier this year) to transform the theatre into an epic, … Continue reading Review: Flying Through Time by Resorts World Sentosa

From time to time, I’ll recognize a name that’s said in passing, or of course, expressed my surprise when the most ang-moh sounding labels turned out to be local (I’m looking at you Benjamin Barker and … Continue reading The Singapore Fashion Awards 2017
