We watched December Rains today! :D
hahaha
have been waiting some time for this..
my whole body has been waiting to watch a play/musical for some time :D
We got good seats too! i'm quite delighted :D we were right smack in the middle of everywhere, watching the show with good eye level :D woohoo~
I was reading around for reviews of the show.. and this is exactly what i feel!

“The characters lacked dramatisation and development, although the musical was 2.5 hours long. The most colourful character was Wang Mei (played by Josephine Tan), one of protagonist Li Qing’s (played by Kit Chan) sidekicks.

If December Rains had aspired to just be a simple love story, then perhaps it should have given more time to allow the two protagonists to fall in love with each other, developing more on stage chemistry.

Kit Chan’s singing, though, was the saving grace of the musical, and I was very glad to see George play the main protagonist. He have a strong stage presence. And to be fair, Mr Liang’s lyrics are always meaningful and a pleasure to listen to over and over again.” – Rachel Chan (from here)

haha :)
kit chan's voice is really a delight to hear.
it's so nice. wahaha.
her voice in real life singing is nicer than her voice on cds and tracks :S
the rest of the singers can't really compare :\ except for the male lead too :D he brought out the notes very very well :D
interestingly, at the end of the show, what was most touching was not the romance that was developed between the leads (though a love that waits for 30 over years is touching), but it was really the friendship (between the three friends) and the sacrifice made (by the guy who liked the female lead, but never voiced it out, and only continued to help her all the way) that touched me.
felt tt the lines were cheesy :) and i'm glad i'm not the only one who felt so. though the lyrics of the songs were quite nice : )
i think i quite liked one line though.
the part when the mum told the daughter that it's raining.. and that she should close up the windows if she's staying at home, but if she wants to go out, she's to make sure that her umbrella is dependable.
double meaning :)
her mum was referring to the choice between choosing the arranged marriage and cutting off all ties with the outside, vs choosing the love of her choice and making sure that it's a dependable choice.
i thought that was pretty interesting :)
