Review: Hand To God by Singapore Repertory Theatre

Parents, please don’t take your kids to see this show, thinking that it’s as innocent as Sesame Street. It’s not. Robert Askins’ Hand To God is anything but godly, and makes it Singaporean debut with the Singapore Repertory Theatre at last, and will overturn everything you thought you knew about puppets and instill you with a deep fear of your inner demons…or perhaps even the devil himself. … Continue reading Review: Hand To God by Singapore Repertory Theatre

Review: La Cage Aux Folles by W!ld Rice

W!ld Rice has always been known to be one of the glitziest theatre companies in Singapore, but with its restaging of Harvey Fierstein’s La Cage Aux Folles, it can safely walk away with the title of the brightest – what with its one THOUSAND lightbulb set, framing the stage in a cage pattern reflecting the translation of the play’s title (the “caged madwoman”). But the set wasn’t … Continue reading Review: La Cage Aux Folles by W!ld Rice

Review: Tropicana The Musical

What exactly was it like when we mention the swinging 60s then, in our island city? Tropicana The Musical is here to bring audiences a taste of the sex, freedom and glitz of that era. The brainchild of producer and veteran actress Tan Kheng Hua, Tropicana The Musical was inspired by the real Las Vegas-style night club that first opened its doors to the public in 1968 in Orchard … Continue reading Review: Tropicana The Musical

Review: The Philanthropist at Trafalgar Studios

Written as a response to and subversion of Moliere’s The Misanthrope, Christopher Hampton’s hit 1970 comedy takes place in an alternate England, where outside the confines of a small, unnamed university town, mayhem ensues when the Prime Minister and his cabinet have been assassinated, gunned down in Parliament and the top English writers are slowly being murdered one at a time. But none of this quite affects … Continue reading Review: The Philanthropist at Trafalgar Studios
