Musical within a Musical

Rebecca and I visited Sean’s church this Saturday evening to watch his church’s 1st musical performance, marking its 25th anniversary. I think the last time that Rebecca and I visited his church was about 2 years ago.

The musical was well performed with an interesting concept of portraying a musical within a musical, i.e. a musical about performers acting out a musical. I really liked the songs that were sung. Very creative lyrics and it was definitely well-rehearsed. I wonder if the church would be producing a music CD.

Sean acted as Kai Feng, the ‘backstage guy’ who serves in the area of logistics and stage props, almost unnoticed by most people, performer or audience. Sean acted his role well; though I didn’t think that the name ‘Kai Feng’ suited his look very well… but oh well, it’s only a name.

Ok, that’s the good part. For the bad part… there were two photographers who went around taking photos with this huge white and awesomely bright flash light! It was terribly uncomfortable for us coz we had to look away whenever we saw the photographer raise his camera to take a shot. No kidding, the flash was REALLY bright and glaring! I have never seen any photographer use such a blinding flash before! I wonder how the musical performers felt… or whether they were blinded by this awesome blast of light.

The buffet dinner was good… and also partly because we were hungry. Initially, we thought that dinner was before the musical performance, but upon reaching there, we realized that this cannot be, coz the dish trays were still empty. Thankfully, Rebecca gave me this tiny piece of chocolate, in which the brand name on the wrapper stated ‘Andes’. We laughed coz it was pronounced like “Andy’s”, which is my Dept Head’s name! ‘Andes chocolate’ = ‘Andy’s chocolate’.

I was surprised to notice that Sean’s Dad came to watch his performance! I smiled happily inside my heart. It’s great to see his Dad getting more involved in Sean’s life. I am really happy for him. Sean brought a student from his primary school too. Wow…

On the way home, I was just airing my thoughts to Rebecca about what if Sean’s performance character’s name was actually his real name ‘Ta Shen’… at this, Rebecca exclaimed, “Tarzan?” And we both burst of laughing… Hahahaha… It’s not the first time that we misheard what each other had said… and heard something else which turned out to be an unintended joke! *Laugh*… =)
