Great World Cabaret (Giveaway)
One of the newest musicals in town, is now playing at Resorts World Sentosa! Entitled “Great World Cabaret” and produced by Singapore’s leading theatrical company Dream Academy, this show is billed as a showcase for new local talents. Personally, we are always keen to support local talents, and therefore we were looking forward to our Media Preview of the show!
Created by prolific local comedienne, Ms Selena Tan, who founded Dream Academy® and best known for popular productions including The Dim Sum Dollies®, Broadway Beng® and The Hossan Leong Show, this entertaining live theatrical variety show showcases the talents of the who’s who in the local arts and entertainment scene.
Great World Cabaret is set to take audiences back to the exuberant “Bo Bo Cha Cha” days of Singapore’s yesteryears, where dancing girls, comedians and acrobats would light up the stage with glitz and glee. The show features three home-grown legends who graced the stages of nightclubs and amusement parks across Singapore in its early years of independence – Rose Chan (played by Ms Seong Hui Xuan), remembered for her bold performances; popular Malay folk singer, Kartina Dahari (played by Ms Aisyah Aziz); and Singapore’s reigning a-go-go and yodeling queen, Sakura Teng (played by Ms Joanna Dong).
It will feature Singaporean stand-up comedians like Mark Lee, Hossan Leong, Judee Tan and Sebastian Tan, who will perform for a week each during the show’s run. Singapore illusionist J C Sum will also stage illusions to entertain audiences as part of the show.
As each week is helmed by a different star, we managed to catch the “Great World Cabaret” on the week of Mark Lee. He was definitely the main star of the show, as he delivered his stand-up comic act with a heavy douse of local flair. His jokes were a bit R(A), but they really struck a chord with the crowd, as all of us were laughing at his stories and puns.
Other notable mentions are the Qing Dao Acrobatic Troupe. Based in China, they are not the average run of the mill acrobatic troupe, as their stunts were precise and well-coordinated. They were a joy to watch, and I won’t mind watching them again. Another Act worth a mention is JC SUM. For a Singaporean magic act, I think that his tricks were impressive.
