God, That’s Good!: An Interview with Lea Salonga and Jett Pangan, Stars of Sweeney Todd – The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, it’s a wonder that the Stephen Sondheim musical thriller has never before been brought to Singapore. Thankfully, Atlantis Theatrical Entertainment Group and the Singapore Repertory Theatre are here to resolve that, as Sweeney Todd hits the Sands Theatre at Marina Bay Sands for a two week run, fresh from a critically-acclaimed run in Manila. Beyond the fact that it’ll be making … Continue reading God, That’s Good!: An Interview with Lea Salonga and Jett Pangan, Stars of Sweeney Todd – The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Review: Beach Burden Bliss – A Double Bill @ Punggol Beach by Desert Wine Productions

★☆☆☆☆ (Performance attended 16/11/19, 6pm) An interesting site-specific concept gone awry with flat script, unintentional camp, and its inability to fully incorporate the site organically into the production. When one thinks of a theatre, Punggol Beach isn’t exactly the first venue that comes to mind. With unstable, sandy ground, the sound of waves crashing over nearby rocks and limited lighting when night falls, the prospect … Continue reading Review: Beach Burden Bliss – A Double Bill @ Punggol Beach by Desert Wine Productions

Review: Rumah Dayak by Rupa co.lab

★★★★☆ (Performance attended 23/11/19, Matinee) Nessa Anwar’s sophomore full length play proves her mastery over capturing natural conversation and social realism. Presented by new theatre collective Rupa co.lab in their theatrical debut, Rumah Dayak follows a night-hour safehouse for troubled youths in the Malay community. Ironically however, the safehouse itself is facing imminent danger, as they face mounting pressures from the authorities, rising costs of operations, and … Continue reading Review: Rumah Dayak by Rupa co.lab

Review: A Spoonful of Sherman by Sing’theatre

★★★★☆ (Performance attended 20/11/19) A simple, joyful family affair of a musical revue. You may know the songs, but do you know the people behind them? Best known for their work on soundtracks from Marry Poppins to Winnie the Pooh and The Jungle Book, Robert and Richard Sherman are undoubtedly two of America’s most well-known songwriters of the 20th century. But beyond them, even their father Al Sherman, and eventually, Robert’s son … Continue reading Review: A Spoonful of Sherman by Sing’theatre

Some might see that as a problem, not being able to put down roots in any particular place, but for the Indian comedian, it’s an experience that’s only led to his … Continue reading Laughter Is: An Interview with Kenny Sebastian – The Most Interesting Person In The Room

Review: MILIEU 2019 by Frontier Danceland

★★★☆☆ (Performance attended 15/11/19) Double bill exploring contrasting ideas of individualism and the community. No man is an island, and no matter who we are or where we’re born, there is a truth universally acknowledged that in our lives, we must inevitably deal with a community and our relationship with them at some point. That is an issue that lies at the heart of Frontier … Continue reading Review: MILIEU 2019 by Frontier Danceland
