BWW Review: MAMMA MIA! I think I fell in love again!
The wildly popular jukebox musical, MAMMA MIA! is back in Singapore. Bring with it are the iconic 70's ABBA hits that got us grooving in our seats, the fun flamboyant costumes complete with platform boots and wide-legged pants, and a good mix of slapstick and sexual innuendos much to our delight.

BWW Reviews: RENT " 20TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT TOUR, Hackney Empire, April 26 2013
There are certain things one can expect from any given production of RENT: the Mark will always wear a scarf, the cast will always try to get a bit of a clap-along going in 'Seasons Of Love' and the Benny will do his best with what is a thankless, nothingy role. While it's sometimes refreshing to see new takes on well-known shows, there's a certain pleasure to be had from seeing Jonathan Larson's groundbreaking rock opera play out exactly as you expect, cringe-worthy 'white light' ending and all.
