Here's the lowdown on Part II of my night adventures.
Last night was the premiere of the Broadway musical, Rent, and having gotten tickets wayyy before my exams, my best friend and I had the best seats of our price category! Honestly, I didn't even know it was opening night... I thought they have already started days ago.
So it was a night of a bit of glitz and glamour with loads of good-looking people in smart suits and dressy attires AND a string of Mediacorp artistes as well... Trying to do a classy chic for the premiere...
I finally met up with my bestest best friend Grace (not the one who was out with me the night before though... that's one of my great friends too) who was more than half an hour late; but I was just as bad cos I was 20 min late. Oops.. but anyway, she's been back for more than a week but I only get to see her now because of the stupid exams!
We had a simple dinner at this bubble tea hut (reminds me of my secondary school days when I used to patronize the one at Kallang after my ice-skating sessions!) before rushing down to Kallang Theatre, fearing that the musical would start without us and we wouldn't be allowed admission. Luckily it didn't start on time and they're alot more lax than at the Esplanade I think. Reunited with my best pal! Bored during the intermission - a picture of my nice nails.
The musical was wonderful.
It touched on pretty explicit issues - there were alot of sexual connotations, drugs, homosexuality and AIDS.... but overall, I was impressed with the singing and choreography. Very immaculate coordination!
The male lead had a really wide vocal range with powerful lungs and Karen Mok with her never-ending legs almost measured up, if not for her screechy high notes and the wobbly voice during the emotionally intense scenes. But at least she looked really hot and sexy for the part of Mimi...
She does deserve some credit for being the only Asian among the original Broadway cast (if I'm not wrong).
Best part of the performance? When the entire cast came together to sing Seasons of Love. B.e.a.u-teefullll...
After the show ended, Grace and I made our way down to Timbre for Jeremy Monteiro's last night there. Before we walked over to the bistro, we dropped by the Ladies toilet at the Substation, only to be totally freaked out.
We were in the cubicles doing our thing when we heard someone enter the toilet. Grace thought it was some really brave girl, coming into the toilet alone so late. But when I came out, I saw the back view of a MAN entering the cubicle beside mine.
Gosh. I was totally freaked and anxious for Grace to come out quickly. When she was done, I mouthed to her "There's a MAN in the toilet!!!!" and we dashed outta there as quickly and as quietly as we could, fearing our escape would alert the possibly perverted person.
Disgusting... and know what, the cubicle door wasn't even closed fully after he went in.
So anyway, we managed to reach Timbre in one piece and fitted in quickly with the relaxed atmosphere. One thirsty lady? Nah it's my Pina Colada.... The Musos.
Jeremy Monteiro was as usual, superb on the keyboards and I had a really wonderful time hanging out and catching up with my best friend and what's going on in her life.
I can't wait to hang out more and do the fun stuff like we used to!
