★★★★★ Review: Hamilton by Base Entertainment Asia

You will know his name and sing it, loud and proud. On paper, Hamilton seems like an audacious idea for a musical – not only is it a three hour biographical recount of lesser known American founding father Alexander Hamilton, it also deliberately does race blind casting to have almost all these major Caucasian historical figures to being played by minorities onstage.

★★★★☆ Review: The Last Gardener 《身后的微光》by The Theatre Practice

Passing on lessons of care and moving on through the humble act of gardening. With limited land and government flats with strict rules, Singapore’s housing estates rarely allow for enough space or freedom to grow one’s own garden. As a result, those with a green thumb or a hankering for plants make do, placing tiny succulents along windowsills, or for those with bigger ambitions in … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: The Last Gardener 《身后的微光》by The Theatre Practice
