coupla days back i watched cabaret, which was brilliant, if i may say so. the middle of the musical was a bit of a lull but the rest really blew me away. emma yong and fei xiang are a lethal combination. the male lead was kinda sallow inc omparison to them-- and thankfully he wasnt also the focal point fo the show. grins. the songs are all stuck in my head now! thong and i were very upset that they didnt cut a cd. hopefully they will do so after the run. i liked that spirit of desperate escapism-- of delving into more and more hysterical debauchery in order to prolong having to acknowledge reality, or even a whiff of reality. the tragedy fo the end isnt dramatically demonstrated, but rather hinted at through a reflection in the cabaret, which i guess keeps it coherent. and there was the supreme moment of delicious irony, as ian noted, at the end of act one where you have to applaud a nazi song, and have no choice but to because its the end of act one. hurhur. on the other hand, i will never look at circular cushions and bolsters the same way again. it was, without a doubt, worth every cent. :))
i actually dont have anything substantial to say, whichc explains the inane-ness of this post. heh. actaully just wanted to have an excuse to play with my mac. oo hoo i am in lurrrve. i can even name whatever thingums i put in, like the thumb drive. so my thumb drive is called chip until i can think of a more appropriate name haha
