I was uber excited yesterday for the fact that I had a chance to watch a live play in a theatre for the first time in my life! (OR perhaps I just couldn’t remember if I’ve been to one before). heh~
Although it’s nothing artsy fartsy like Phantom of the Opera or Cats, I had a great fun at the play directed by none other than our own Hossan Leong and local theatre veterans, such as Emma Yong, in the parody “Beauty and the Beast”.
Initially, the idea of missing out the muscular, himbotic Gaston, makes me feel rather uncomfortable…

But I can’t deny the fact that the additional of Desiree and Brandy makes the play all so much more brilliantly hilarious! See the two wacky “sisters” on stage is already worth that money!

In case you don’t know who these “guys” are, the sister in green is actually Chua En Lai! HAHA!
Honestly speaking, I think the Ris Low’s joke is abit too outdated lar..
but the way Chua En Lai said “My right breast is leopard prins and my left breast is zipbra prins”, and when Chua and Darius Tan unexpectedly shouted “SHINGZ” just made everything wackily right!
And if you thought these pantomimes are only capable of creating some lame jokes or cranky scripts, you might want to think again. Rather than saying that the storyline is brilliant (which is obviously not the case because the story, to be honest, was so much lacking than the original), I would say that the dances, entertainment value, and even the soundtracks are thumbs-up! I really love those songs! But I just couldn’t bring myself to buy the soundtrack though…(perhaps someone want to buy it for me as a Christmas present? HEH!)

The masquerade party and dancing made me feel like I’m watching Phantom! haha~
In a nutshell, Beauty and the Beast is an entertainment for you and your family if you want to spend a brainless jolly good time over the weekends! Have lots of fun!!
