It’s Sizzling | 7 November 2012 | Della & Seng Gee Guild Hall
Lights, Music, Action!
Members sat riveted at
their dinner tables, eyes
scanning the open stage
waiting for the action
to begin. A show host
appeared on stage and set the scene
with a narration. In the popular style
of Las Vegas’s glamorous dinner theatres
shows, the musical’s distinctly
Singaporean-flavoured four acts
featured script written by Agnes Ng,
original songs produced by Lim Swee
Kim and Wayn Chiua, and creative
production and choreography
by Jason Ong
and Zee respectively.
The musical
was set against
a backdrop of
dwindling business
at a nightspot called
‘Katong Cabaret’ and
depicted the story of
an owner’s struggling
efforts to turn things
around. Juxtaposing
a wide spectrum of
emotions such as
love and jealousy, the
musical is ready to take
flight to bigger stage
outside NUSS.

Stefan Choo from DramaWorks
remarked, “We hope that with this
first full-length musical, we can
let others outside of NUSS know
about DramaWorks. We had worked
extremely hard on this musical and it
would not have been possible without
the generosity of our kind sponsors
and members’ support on this very
special opening night. We look
forward to greater heights with this
musical and for more keen members
to join us at DramaWorks.”
