woo~went to watch a musical this week!!yes!on reading week!! the time when it is the most stress.the time when everyone tries to squeeze in everything that they can before the exam! and what i'm doing? enjoying myself with such a high culture hobby (hahahaha.all thanks to soci and ssa)
how i got started.it all began with church.we use to have christmas musicals since i was 4 years old until primary school days.that was the time where everyone will be so busy, we will meet up at either neil road or chancery lane for rehearsals. the time when u see the whole church gathering together for a purpose:)
to add on, influencing me into musical was the opening of Esplanade on my birthday. it was a big thing! thought one day i must watch something there!no matter how expensive it will be!once was enough for me then when i was young:) to my surprise, it jus kept me hook on! it
all begin with MAMA MIA - the musical.
it just caught my attention. the dance, the music, the acting, the backdrop, EVERYTHING jus caught my attention! Love the way they present the storyline. it just caught me, and thats just the beginning!
next was Phantom of the Opera.
watched the movie and was really excited to watch the theatre production. some of the scenes that i saw on the movie, kept me wondering how they will bring it to life performance. the first time, i saw how a musical make use of the whole stage area!from the front to the back.from the floor to the ceiling.they make use of the whole space that can be seen from the audience seats. the drop of the chandelier, the fall from the steps, the disappear acts of the phatom!it just keeps you at the end of your seats!
after that was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
have u seen a flying car!yes.the story is about a flying car. marilyn and i were guessing how they were making the car fly.was it a cable, or was it a platform?or using air??hahaha...the secrets...behind the scenes. something different from the usual. not forgetting the way they try to present "distance". a car moving into the horizon!:) *the remote control car* go watch when you have the chance and you will understand:)
the latest! CATS! and it just gets better!
the WHOLE theatre was their stage.the interaction with audience. even not forgetting those sitting at the 2nd floor and above!more dance then singing of course "memory" was touching!:)the make up different from usual.its captivating:) the actors were really great.always in character no matter whether the spot light was on them or not!their movements were really like life cats:)
it always just get better and better:) i'm just hoping for more musicals to come! RENT!HAIRSPRAY! and many more!
looking at their performance, it just reminds me that when people work together in unity and having a goal in mind, it is that powerful. the dynamics are able to catch the people around. accomplishing the project together, it brings peopler even closer together. reminiscing the past when i had an opportunity to join in a production with my secondary school. the hardwork we put in for months paid-off and it brought us even closer together. we all have gone through those times when there wasn't enough time, staying back due to rehearsals, giving up your holidays to make the production even better...but those times were short. thats why i'm looking forward to such an opportunity again!
God knows the power of unity. thats why He gave different talents to different people.so that we can work together as a body in Christ and shine for Him.
the devil knows the power of unity. thats why he likes to sow discord within.so as to disrupt the plans of God.
In UNITY we must stand together! as everyone is important like the different parts in our brain. having different roles with a different purpose, but all to serve ONE body:)
*p.s. oh man!sounds like soci's functionalist thoery and reminds me of my bio psych*hahaha
