the musical was okay....first time he is watching one and i would think starting him off on les miserables would have been a better idea but alas this was the only musical thus far. story line wise, i much preferred Anna and the King starring Chow Yun Fatt. This version was skimpy and while the king did a good job delivering effectively funny punchlines that had us all laughing, I thought Anna's character was pretty weak. The costumes were not elaborate and the backdrop pretty simple. What i could not really grasp was the almost 20mins of nonsensical dancing, supposedly the skit that was performed to the visiting English diplomat. luckily there was a 20% discount for UOB cards and i only paid $242 instead of $300. the next one should be better, so keep the interest dearie.
