went to watch this musical by 'practice theatre' at national library's drama centre -- "if there're seasons" “天冷就回来”。
it's a musical about aspirations and dreams, goals and love. it tells of a story of a young singaporean man named "Ah le" who went to america in search of his dreams and pursue of his dreams in music. he left behind him his childhood sweetheart who, unfortunately, died due to an illness. there in New York, he got to know a few others with similar aspirations in the arts. Ah Qiang, Rose and many others including Uncle Cheng, owner of the pizza shop that they all work for. the musical deals with the complexity of love and relationships between people. between the living and the dead. it tells a story of many stories, revealing the mask of people around us. and what people do to achieve their dreams and how they realise that what they always wanted was, all along, back at home, where love is. throughout the musical, music from Liang Wen Fu, the famous singaporean composer of many unforgettable songs for many famous singers, decorated the whole play. adding not just the original singaporean flavour to the piece, but it touches the hearts of the audience with familiar tunes from yesteryears.
shall not elaborate much on it, but i do strongly recommend it. especially for people who are seeking to be touched once again, by l0ve.
one particular part was my favourite.
ah le: have you ever been in love?
Rose:(silence) do you believe in love at first sight?
(ah le proceeds on and on before he says that he does and Rose leaves the pizza shop>
Rose: (calls ah le on hp) i can answer your question now. Yes i've been in love its was a long time ago. But now i'm starting to get the same feeling back...
and i forgot what went on after that...this part's my favourite not because it's necessarily the best part of the whole musical. but because it simply touched me there, at the special part of my heart, where it was closed. now, i can feel it opening again....
by the way, i'm in NTU already. 2 weeks of studies makes me a dull guy. but i'd say i've already made quite a name fer myself making noises and creating a scene in everything and everywhere i go.
haha...till again! peace out.
