my debut musical@ the Esplanade Theatre: " the Sound of Music"

Went with my buddy cousin yesterday evening.. Enjoyed ourselvese to the fullest despite of 2 irritating fellows sitting right behind, who were obviously enjoyin the musical very much @ the expense of others as they laughed & chatted loudly even @ the heartwarmin scenes! OMG! Weirdos man! Nonetheless, it was indeed $133++ well- spent as we had a good view of all the action at a comfortable distance ..not too near or too far.Just right.
Simply loved all those songs..DoReMi..16-goin on 17... the sound of music..my fav things..all-time fav since my childhood till now.. the female lead, Jennifer Samrick's superb in her singing..& her role as Maria..& not 4getting the 7 adorable teenager/children artistes..

I was enthralled! The scenery backdrop, the sheer extravagance of the production was a feast ! The props were intricate and impressive, esp those for the wedding scene @ candle-lit church & the living hall scene as the Von Trapps greeted the guests with the goodbye song as they..Oops..can't rem the title at e moment..but at least I noe abit of the lyrics.Hmm...so thk god! I bought the programme booklet as keepsake.judging from my absentmindedness....though it's quite astronomical 2 charge $15 for the glossy programme booklet/pictorial book. Oh yah..btw..4 those who have never been for any muscial as yet @ esplanade, this seems to be their usual practice.

I shall end my blog here with the lyrics of the Sound of Music..

The hills r alive with the sound of music
With songs they have sung for a thousand years
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
My heart wants to sing every song it hears
My heart wants to beat like the wings
Of the birds that rise from the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies from
a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls
Over stones on its way
To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray
I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
I know I will hear what I've heard before
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
And I'll sing once more
