The Lion King Musical

In Singapore Marina Bay Sands (MBS) ^^


(Credits to http://3.bp.blogspot.com)

It's my first time watching a musical in MBS, but then it's also the very first musical that they have! Usually, the musicals will be shown in Esplanade instead.

Ok, so the MBS theatre looks kind of like that of the Esplanade. I was somewhat disappointed as I was hoping to see a different kind of architectural design. But then, how much can a theatre design vary if space constraint is a significant issue to tackle. ><" But then, I would say that the MBS theatre has more leg space (Good for long-legged people like SY ^^), so it was generally more comfortable.

I guess I haven't been watching musicals in Singapore, but throughout the entire musical, I was wondering if I have to pay for the programme booklet. I was curious about the casts, especially the kids acting as lion cubs Simba and Nala. They can sing really well, and I wanted to find out more about them, and to see if they're the understudies for the original casts. Back to the programme booklet. Until now, I still haven't figured it out. But I really wanted a programme booklet then... T__T

Musical was awesome. Joejoe said that it's similar to the Hong Kong Disneyland one, but I beg to differ. The casts are definitely better, and the whole effect/feel is different in a magically good way. Many touching scenes, and I must especially commend the performers for Timon and Pumbaa. Personally for me, they've stolen the spotlight for the whole musical with their endless entertainment and wit. ^^

What can I say? Please go watch the musical, if you'd like something magical ^^

And I've satisfied my 'craving' to hear African language (According to wiki, it says that Zulu is used in the performance, but because I'm not sure since I really cannot tell apart the African languages, I shall not claim that it definitely is Zulu. But then, it is highly likely ^^)

Chibi Fanart...

Hi everyone~

With permission, chibiastrayl and I have decided to share the chibi that I drew for her for the fundraiser - Arashi style on arashi_on.

The 1st drawing is purely done on the Ipad programme, Sketchclub. While the 2nd is firstly hand-drawn, then coloured (in solid colours for easy transformation into a cross-stitch) using the same programme. ^^

And a group chibi Arashi to end off the entry! :D
For this, it's a collaboration between chibiastrayl and I. I drew the design for her to create a cross-stitch to sell for the fundraising on arashi_on as well! Please do support her and donate generously to the Japan disaster survivors m(_ _)m
