Lea Salonga as Cinderella


Finally saw this musical... Waited for like 1 whole year...

Its run in has officially ended last Thursday and I am glad that I am one of the fortunate fews to be able to catch this world-class international production on 3rd January.

I saw the version of this musical with Julie Andrews first (part of my DVD collection), which is the original television musical. I grew to love the songs thus making me interested in watching the new version.

Ok... to keep my post short, I would state my views in point-form :D (kindda lazy)

The Good
-Great elements added to the original script
-The classics and the new songs are simply Superb!!!
-Beautiful sets (esp during the transformation and the runaway part)
-Professional singers (Lea Salonga has a wonderful voice, not once out of tune)
-Better choreography compared to earlier versions (the other 3 telecasts)

The Bad
-The Godmother was kindda pitchy in some songs
-Lea Salonga looks so tiny on the large stage (esp when standing beside the TALL prince)
-Some sets look flat and plain
-I prefer Julie Andrews's version of the old songs compared to Lea Salonga's

That's all... So overall a great musical and the best one I had seen...

Musicals I had seen

-The Sound of Music (2006)-------------------------Not as great as the movie

-The Phantom of the Opera (2007)----------------Great singing, however, lack grandeur

-Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (2007)-----------------Uncomparable to the movie, bad singers, horrible script. The only good thing was that the "car" special effects were wonderful.

-Cinderella (2009)------------------------------------(refer to above)
