Digg this!
There are two Korean produced musicals that i have been wanting to watch...
- Nanta
- B-boyz and Ballerina (The Ballerina who loves a Bboy)
So you can imagine how happy i was when i was walking past the theaters at the Esplanade (when i was in Singapore two weeks ago) and noticed this bunting.
B-Boyz & Ballerina 27 - 29 June 2008
Esplanade Theatre, Singapore
I rushed to the Box Office to buy tickets to the show
My tickets for Saturday, 28 June for B-boyz & Ballerina!The Journey
The next night, i took the MRT to City Hall and walked along the City Link underground mall towards the Esplanade. I love the experience as you walk past shops with attractive window displays and eateries along the way. I cherished the leisurely walk, venturing into shops that caught my fancy. Singapore is truly a shopping paradise. Plus if you go there during the Great Singapore Sale...ah...pure joy!
Billboards in the tunnelAs you continue walking, you will come to a tunnel with huge billboards. Then, as if a fore-warning that you are near the "arts and performance" area, you will see interesting art work on the walls as you approach the Esplanade.

Is that rubbish on the wall?
Some art i just don't understand...

For those who do not know, B-boyz & Ballerina is purely a dance musical, with no dialog. This eliminates the language barrier and so, this Korean team can go around the world, doing what they do best...dance!
The show was very upbeat and the crowd appreciative. There were clapping and shouts as the Gorilla Crew (dancers) performed their dangerous dance moves almost effortlessly. Those guys are amazing as they did their power moves.There were head spins, hand stands and full body spins aplenty. If you think Se7en does a cool one-hand stand, well, that's child's play to the Gorilla Crew.
The lead B-boy Kim Hyun Moon was excellent and the tall and slim lead actress - the ballerina portrayed by Kim Na Hee was graceful. But the "rich man" (Cha Ho Chan) and his team had the coolest dance sequences.

All in all, it was a wonderful performance and the crew gave a very fierce performance. The dancing was indeed top notch and it looked really rigorous. I think when it comes to Asians, Koreans are no doubt the best dancers.
The photo opportunity
After the performance, there was a photo session where we get to take a photograph with the crew. Argh....i didn't bring my camera as i wasn't expecting anything like this. Anyway, we will just have to make do with photos from my mobile phone. =)

I think he injured his arm slightly doing
the vigorous dancing and needed to put ice on it.
