S+S Musical 2012

Last year I managed to take part in Short + Sweet Musical & Theatre. Initially I was planning to participate again as performer in S+S Musical & try directing in S+S Theatre, but due to my commitment to Dama Orchestra's Empress Wu. I still hope to at least try directing next year. In the mean time, I am pleased that my collaboration with wifey has resulted in our participation in this year's S+S Musical as lyricists & composers instead:)


Basically it's a very simple story of a family awaiting the return of the son from his studies abroad, and the surprise they got when the son comes home looking a little different. Probably just like me when I returned home from my studies with a blonde hair. Only thing is, the family in the musical are chinese vampires.

We were give a preview of how the songs would sound like last Monday and it was really hilarious! It also feels great to see your writing come to life. The sad part is I won't be able to see the final product live as Empress Wu starts its run a day after S+S Musical begins.

Ah Pa(Freddy Tan, also the director) & Ah Ma(Anrie Too)

Ah Girl(Lynn Goh- we rewrote the musical to include a daughter just for her)

S+S Musical starts Wed 26 Sept and the last show is on Sat 29 Sept, and the last show will be the results show as well. I do hope our submission will win some awards. If you are free, do go support S+S Musical. There will be 6 10-min musical competing and ours is the last piece. You get to vote for your favourite musical and the piece with the highest number of votes will win the Audience Choice Award.
