And so we finally made it to watch The Sound of Music. All because Citi Prestige Cardmembers have the option of purchasing a pair of tickets for the price of 1 on a first come first serve basis. And we managed to secure a pair for Friday night.
I grew up with The Sound of Music. I do not know if anyone of you remember, but The Sound of Music was aired on television every Christmas Day 25th December for a continuous number of years when I was young. And I loved the show so much I bought the soundtrack (in cassette format of course). And I memorized all the songs. So I was pretty excited about watching the musical.
Overall, the musical was not bad, but because they had to improvise the storyline to fit into the time limit, the songs that I was so familiar with popped up at different segments from the original storyline. I preferred the show to the musical actually. But I do think that Bethany Dickson was a splendid Maria. Her looks, her voice just captured the essence of Maria Rainer. Bravo!
The Sound of Music
Runs from 11 July to 10 August 2014 at the Grand Theatre, Marina Bay Sands
