On the 26th of July, my mum and I along with my brother (Kam), his girlfriend (Joanna) & her mum went to watch 'The Phantom Of The Opera' at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. It was quite a race because Kam, Jo & her mum were running a bit late. They went to pick up the tickets for the show first, then joined my mum & I at Jamie Oliver's Restaurant (will blog about that place in another post)
So, Phantom of the Opera.
I remember reading the short version in Form 2, as it was compulsory. I was basically trying to recall the story as I was watching it. Not something I advise you to do. I did bring a copy of the book, the full version, but didn't have time to read it as I was in Legoland or resting. *cough* excuses *cough*
We bought the 145$ tickets, the green zone. I felt that our seats weren't the best. It was a full house. Really wished I spent an additional 20$ (Singapore Dollars) for seats in the front, unless they were already booked. Back to the seats; maybe the speakers were not working that day? I don't know, but I didn't really enjoy it. Until I got back home to Shah Alam & listened to the songs again on youtube. Then I WAS IN LOVE WITH THE MUSIC!
*fangirling*
Should you go watch it? Yes, spend the money & get good seats. Since it's not often that Malaysia gets to stage a Broadway show
*cough* very rare *cough*, head down to Singapore to go watch it. I'm hoping to watch it again, maybe in New York.
Not convinced? I took this from youtube. This is from the Brit Awards last year. I couldn't find a proper mic-ed version from the press preview.
Excited? Show runs until the 1st of September!
