DSD: Dim Sum Dollies!

Wrote this while on the flight to Taipei...

===============
Watched Dim Sum Dollies on Friday night. Was supposed to go with ahboy but the big D 9for diarrhoea) hit him....and so....I went with HB instead.
A surprising companion...as epitomised by Daniel's big reaction of a single word or sound or whatever you call it..."WAH...!!"

But oh, he followed it up with a phrase "Err...Will it be weird?" Lol..
.

The play/show was fantastic. Hossan Leong was fantastic!! One who watches the play will be gripped by laughter from start to end. English, Mandarin, Malay, Hokkien, Cantonese...were used. I'm glad I understood most of the phrases uttered and all of the jokes presented to us.
But I wondered if those Caucasionas watching the play would understand the jokes...

Because the whole play wsa based on local references, on local issues, on SG's historical events...Witty jokes, subtle references to the government blatant to the ruling party and the well-renowned MM.

Hilarious moments were well-balanced with emotinal undertones. Clever twists and impersonations were accompanied by paradoxical references to nationalistic pride....It was gooood..Lotsa references to the current situation SG is facing. The ruling party, the political situation, the economy, the police & their ring-fencing, F1, en bloc sales, the IR project, sarong party girls, etc etc etc Lotsa past history & references were made as well...opium, world war 2, the split with the Malayan Federation, the formaiton of PAP, etc...

Hossan was wonderful. Every appearance he had on stage brought a certain twang to the atmosphere. Witty, totally comfortable in his own skin. Talentedm abosolutely talented.

I like Selena Tan, but I think she's overrated. haha...Pam Oei, um, I don't quite have a good impression of her but she's okay in the show..

I like Emma Yong though. She was great. Full voice! Her singing was good and resonating and well-controlled...Figure not bad too haha...Contrite & precise pronunciations....

A definite must watch...If the show runs again next year I'll go again...
With Ahboy this time round I hope.
