I am angst-filled. I joined the angst club. And I was voted unanimously the president. Seriously. Don't ask, won't tell. Shuddup.
On a lighter note, does anyone want Not-So-Silent-Night tickets? It's a VJCSB end of year concert with a twist. Comes with a hilarious skit. I know. I've read the script. And lovely songs of course. How can you miss it.
I'm not going to talk about anything pertaining to musicals/theater/drama/singing for a while. It's a very sore point with me. Don't rub salt into my wounds. Please. Spare me.
There is nothing more depressing than overwhelming optimism.

Today I return from a most interesting showing of I Theatre's Wizard of Oz. Of course. Most of the actors are Singaporeans, but that didn't stop the musical from being good. Other than that, and the fact that there was a theatre full of kids there to annoy me, it was great. The costumes were fantastical, they really brought out the difference between the happy-go-lucky Munchkins, the free Oz-ians and the regimental people under the Wicked Witch of the West. Ooh. Alliteration. Yes really. The Munchkins all had flowers on their hats and very pleasant blue costumes to complement the happy floral image. The Oz-ians on the other hand. Every single one of them had a different green costume. I was amazed. Every costume was different. No repeats. O. And the regimental people all wore the same kind of black cloak and black pants. Except for the leader who wore a sort of bloody, maroon-ish red outfit. The red and black really served to bring out the evil witchy feeling. And of course. Forebodings.
And there were puppets!
The Munchkins bolstered their ranks by having half of them real and the other half puppets! I didn't realize till they started singing that each real Munchkin was holding on to another puppet Munchkin!
Well. What more can I say? The singing was good enough to satisfy me (o, egotism), the acting was great too, lights/sounds/costumes/puppets/masks were meticulously done, set was ginormous but phantasmagorical. Beautiful. So non-realistic, but real. And the 4-man band. I was disappointed it wasn't a full orchestra, but what can you expect from a kid's musical? And half the time the kids didn't get the puns. Like when the evil henchmen tore Scarecrow up, TinMan told him to 'pull yourself together'. No reaction.
Oh well. A most fruitful day at the theatre, I must say.
