Army Daze - My Comments...

saw the show yesterday... i left the theatre in a daze... didn't live up to expectations...

the jokes sounded used...
the acting was so-so... (especially hated Robin's portrayal... probably he forgot that he need not "act" his part... just be himself and the "chao ah gua flavour" will be oozing perfectly...)
the lack of punch...
the poor pacing of the play...

one reason could be i watched the movie back in the 90s... and the (repeated) jokes just couldn't bring the laughter out of me... the same sentiments from another friend of mine who had watched the movie too...

however, i did like the set quite a bit... nice big drawings of the ship, bunk, etc...

of course sitting next to a lady who couldn't control her laughter made the whole experience even more unbearable... not only was her laughter ULTRA loud, they were prolonged (way after the joke ended)... remembered her friend sitting next to her to be an actress in some other musical i watched before... not sure if they were there to spoil the play for everyone (for whatever reasons)... some of the audience did turn their heads back to look at her... at one point when it wasn't really that funny, yet she kept laughing at Hossan Leong... to the extent that Hossan looked a little stunned on stage... such a spoilsport...

another bad encounter i had while watching Crash... this guy (a few seats away from me) was hiccuping right from the start of the show until like a quarter way through... and his "hics" were loud and disturbing...

what is this world becoming...
