I went for it last Monday.

What I like about it : the set design, the seamless intergration/arrangement of music, Kit Chan's haunting voice.

What I think, that can be improved : details like how ladies of that time behave i.e. walk, gesture, etc; Kit's costume looked like an untidy heap of materials.

Overall, I like it. Hope to watch it again.

I watched it the last time it was staged. I think its wonderful for a local musical. Kit Chan is fantastic =)

It is a fantansic musical and great local production!

However, do bear in mind that it is a musical and not for you to learn about China history. Ci Xi is not as sweet lady at all.

The musical is ending this weekend. If you are keen, go to www.sistic.com.sg to book your tickets soon :D

What time is she touching down on Saturday? If early, you might still be able to make it for the Forbidden City :) Show starts at 8pm (best to be seated by 7.45pm). Book your tickets now though.

And if you are unable to catch the musical (which would be a pity), check out sistic website for other productions :)

I just checked her flight details and she arrives around 10pm :cry: I'm looking at the Crazy Horse Show...seems like something different.

Thanks once again!
