"musical"

i just came back from a really can tell for sure low quality business sense but with no musical sense local truly uniquely Singapore musical production. (Try saying this with one breath!) Got free tickets to PCK the musical. My truly honest opinion, its the worst musical i have ever been to! wait! i don't even want to call this a musical... it should be called something else...

seriously, i am begging all local tv producers, please do not attempt to produce a musical from a award winning tv programme. all tv programme are made for a reason, that is they are meant for TVs!

Location - Indoor Stadium wasn't bulit for musicals! if u want to hold some pop idol concert or ice skating show or some mass event in a sheltered area, please go ahead and do it in there, don't produce a musical in indoor stadium. Out of three sectors in the stadium, only one sector can make it for seating, which is the center section where you directly face the stage. I suffered almost three hours of pain turning my head and body to face the stage. Ouch!

Timing - for goodness sake, if you print 8pm on a ticket, please promptly start the show. don't wait till almost 30 mins later then start the show.

Sound & Lighting - okay i really have not much comments on this area, sound quality is passable, lighting was okay. jus make sure equipments use are able to withstand all kinds of abuse without making some electronic static sounds.. its really irritating to hear those kind of static noise while the performer speak.. geez!

Storyline - really a typical singapore quality story line.

Cast - I think they acted fine, lots of room for improvement. But i would like to comment on the dancers a.k.a extras. They dance pretty well... Act pretty well.. great job dancers!

Musicians - Okay, there was a live orchestra playing. Not bad..

Costumes - Looks good.. impressive!

Props - Erm.. please invest in more technology into it, its so unsightly to see lots of people pushing and pulling and carrying and setting up props between scenes. One or two is okay not everything!

Final note - please don't promote sponsors within the musical. can u imagine there is one part were this actor is singing meanwhile promoting its sponsors, wonder anyone notice that anot?

But still i would like (as i always do) give credit to all people who put in effort for making this musical though personally felt that its far from international standards. Credits to the Cast, peformers, dancers, musical, backstage crew blah blah blah....

Auf Wiendersehen!
