Living in a country with constant increase in ERP prices and Pontianaks carrying umbrellas at the carparks just make it sound like a horror movie. I dare say I rather live on Elm street, at least I know that something will come behind my back and I will scream my heads off. But I have resigned myself to the increasing standard of living in Singapore with little of none salary increment. *Gasp* Scary!
Propaganda is something so often seen around the world. Without realising it, we have already been ganda-fied. My only complaint with this virus would be the lack in creativity of how this is all done. Imagine the same all boring news of Singapore having the most efficient airport in the world to Garden City concept with even the HDB flats taking headlines.
But this, I say is the most innovative and creative way to reach out to the fellow citizens of Singapore. Sound Waves 2008. My unexpected participation to WATCH the show turned out more pleasant than I hoped for. The whole musical was strung together through a mix of dances, acting and music. The multimedia work was perfection. (Almost except for the adaptation of Singapore flyer to be a clock!) If Hitler was alive, he would be kicking himself silly for not thinking that the music and dance could actually be his most lethal weapon to conquer the world.
Elena Wang mesmerized me with her dance steps with pitch perfect singing and George...well...can't imagine a Singaporean could go so far so very far in Broadway and decided to give it up for find his roots here. And Emeric, what have you done to yourself? The writing and dialogue was not a single bit like what I have known you to write. Hey! Even the e-mail that you send me are not in the same "language". This is tooooooooo layman and mainstream lah.
In summary, if propaganda came in a musical like soundwaves, please Hitler... ... take me away.
