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

Stefan Choo <strong>from</strong> DramaWorks<br />
remarked, “We hope that <strong>with</strong> this<br />
first full-length musical, we can<br />
let others outside of <strong>NUSS</strong> know<br />
about DramaWorks. We had worked<br />
extremely hard on this musical and it<br />
would not have been possible <strong>with</strong>out<br />
the generosity of our kind sponsors<br />
and members’ support on this very<br />
special opening night. We look<br />
forward <strong>to</strong> greater heights <strong>with</strong> this<br />
musical and for more keen members<br />
<strong>to</strong> join us at DramaWorks.”
