It is not blatantly about condemning him or her for failures or absence of what you think should be attained. I am dismayed that the critic merely practises negative assessment. Education shouldn't merely intensify or fossilize our prejudices or preconceptions.

The plotting was tired, the pace was just wrong, and even with Singapore JUST as a background (so we can forgive the accents and lack of Singaporen actors) - the story or stories weren't delved into enough! That's just the tip of the iceberg. But it proves my point that critics are right on this one - and i AM a performer - and I declare that this musical was bad.Miss Criticnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945617498931865703.post-11191761647765056092015-05-28T20:49:48.667+08:002015-05-28T20:49:48.667+08:00It is so refreshing to read a review that is not s...It is so refreshing to read a review that is not simply jumping on the 'bitching bandwagon'. It's a musical, for goodness' sake, not a slice of life. I too loved the singing and the staging. I urge everyone, Singaporean, expat or tourist, to see Singapura. Filter out the hate-filled xenophobic rants and just enjoy... You might learn something, too!Andrea Leenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945617498931865703.post-15436397713452455002015-05-26T12:06:34.684+08:002015-05-26T12:06:34.684+08:00luv,

Tends to happen when the critics themselves have never been performers.<br />hawkHawk Liuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13201629892590405063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945617498931865703.post-32683647955372225772015-05-26T01:23:23.611+08:002015-05-26T01:23:23.611+08:00This is like the most unbiased and honest journali...This is like the most unbiased and honest journalism / criticism I've read about the musical.
