It’s glorious! I love this journey. Being a part of "Beauty World" has given me faith in local musicals again! Each night, the audience are a joy to perform for. I truly appreciate their support and warmth. I believe that reviewers should also write to reflect how well a show is received. After all, it is the general public that reads a review to deem if a show has been enjoyed by others. Alas, some reviewers do their readers a disservice by expressing their own hoity-toity opinions. My school of thought is that a show is not about the actors, creative team or a reviewer’s "well-penned" A+ dissertation. It is for and about the people, the audience. And it should serve them.

A good reviewer should be able to discern and articulate what the public liked or disliked about a particular production. A flawed review only highlights his or her own shortcomings and inexperienced eye. I say, catch Beauty World before it closes, because as an actor on stage every night, I find it hard to deny that the audience (the majority at least) is enjoying it. So I simply wish for more people to be a part of the magic.

I would like to thank everyone that has blogged nice things about me and the character Frankie Wong Fei Hong. It was such a pleasure playing him and bringing in the laughs (a new experience for me). And thanks to the wonderful girls in the picture for taking a good resolutioned image of the billboard. They helped to sell merchandise for the show and also magnanimously cheered Frankie on! Until the next time. Cha Cha Cha!
