Hello reaaaaders, yesterday I watched a play along with my lit students entitled "Beauty and the Beast". It is a play made by locals named Wild Rice and directed by Hossan Leong. The show is great, I will elaborate it further later on. Now here is the synopsis.

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a merchant called Big Boss Bong and his three daughters: Brandy, Desiree and his youngest, Beauty.

One day, Big Boss Bong steals a rose from a garden as a gift for Beauty. He’s caught red-handed by a fearsome creature called the Beast who agrees to spare his life in exchange for one of his daughters.

And thus Beauty begins her adventures at the Beast’s mansion, where she encounters the fussy nanny Ah Ma Chow Chow, the excitable cook Baba Pongteh, and the sarcastic maid, Vacula Contessa.

Will Beauty ever escape from the mansion? Why does the Beast get tongue-tied in front of Beauty? And who is this mysterious exorcist called Master Kong Tao who has vowed to purge the mansion of its ‘unnatural’ elements?

From the same team that brought you last year’s runaway hit Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs, BEAUTY & THE BEAST is a spellbinding musical comedy, filled with laugh-out-loud jokes, fabulous song and dance routines, stunning costumes and sets… and singing utensils.

There are several things I love this show.

1. The actors seems very professional. At first I thought they were lip-syncing however they did not, and sings very beautifully. Not to say their splendid exaggerating expressions and body languages.
2. LOVE their internet memes and current popular features references like Single Ladies, iDock & iSee and Ris Low's vocabularies. Oh my gawd, the sudden pop up of single ladies makes me exploded. I can tell you all where all those memes come from, wahahaha. It's not just about the song that makes it popular, it's a video.
3. An okay plot for a 2hrs show, there are quite abit of loopholes here and there. For example, the first exorcist mentor just disappeared and not returning at the end of the show. They should show him arriving and joining the party instead.
4. Languages are good. Superb English vocabularies and nostalgic colloquial English of ours bring in closer understanding of the story and  improve the humor factor. 
5. Desiree is gay.
6. The costume is pulchritudinous. Very creative.
7. Love the live band rocking out there.
8. Even though the stage is small, the captivation scale is huge. 

Even though there are some minor errors there like having a hard time closing the door and some mic problems. It's perfectly negligible for the first time they are performing to an audience. FYI, it's their first public show of the play. 

If I have to rate this show over 10, I will rate it 9/10. I strongly recommend this show for whoever wants to watch it. This is my first time watching a play and it really absorbed me. Thanks ms choo for the opportunity to watch the show. Sorry for making the whole situation awkward yesterday, because I'm the only male there mah. -.-
