Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away"

We bought tix to and attended last fri night's musical 'passage of time' to support a few of our friends who were acting in it. It was held at Raffles Hotel's Jubilee Hall which kinda brought back loadsa memories for me cos that was where many of sab's plays were held years back during her sec school drama days. Anyways, fast forward to last fri and yeah... it was the same old concert hall but with of course, a different cast and script this time ard.

A snapshot of our green tix :)

So, what's the musical all abt? It's actually based on a true account of angie's mom which encompasses love, betrayal as well as forgiveness. Passage of Time is about a woman named Mei Lye (acted by Neo Swee Lin) looking back into her life. She was once a young girl who had to give up her dreams to learn the ropes of being more 'domesticated'. She later became a wife to Eng (played by Nick Shen), a man chosen by her parents. Mei Lye's life tells a tale of triumphs and turbulence which we would soon witness for ourselves as the musical unfolds. Dun wanna spoil the plot by revealing everything but well, just wanna say that all in all, it's a superb musical tt's both entertaining and funny but sad and touching at times as well. Gotta give props to angie for scripting, directing and even acting!

I got to admit that as I sat down while waiting for the musical to start, I was kinda sianified. Reason being, I thought it was the same old play by BF since the cast was practically the same. After all, it's by Soracco again. I'm not complaining that their first musical was boring. It's actually really good. But after having caught that play for at least 2 times, I doubt I'd wanna sit through the same play another time. So I was actually really relieved when I realised tt the musical was based on a new script with a couple of new songs. Although some songs used were the same as the previous musical, I didn't mind as long as the storyline was different.

We reached at 8pm on the dot so the better seats were already taken by then. But it's alright! Shall make do with my seat. :)

Neo Swee Lin as the old Mei Lye. She's actually quite a funny person. Many of her jokes were really funny and at times mildy RA too. Haha.. but i like it! I recall one of her best jokes of the night - when she was making reference to married men who had affairs - to be something that goes "Men. Their heads above weaken when their heads below harden". HAHAHA

Haha... MM Lee (matchmaker lee) turned out to be played by wenjie! HAHAHAH

the doctor, the younger mei lye and the 50 yr old Eng played by nick shen. Oh talking abt age, there was another joke. A kid asked his grandpa how old he was. His grandpa replied "I'm closer to 60 than I am to 50." The kid said.."Oh! So ur 58!" Grandpa replied "Nope! I'm 68 actually." Hahaha... So will u tell ur grandchildren the same thing in future?

Just a last super-blur shot before we all say adios!
