I whistle a happy tune.

Heya world! A quick update while I'm waiting for Mr H to finish his tutorials. The King and I ended yesterday. I'm a little sad, I've gotten so used to the songs and such. Last night was the final performance and we all managed to get tickets to watch. And what a performance! I found it alot better than the previous musical I watched, maybe because I know almost all the songs by hard, but probably because of all the humour injected into it. It can pretty much be renamed "The King of Siam and the Women who Loved Him" because at different points of the musical, you can really see how everyone really loves the king. They [especially his wife] acknowledge that he's stubborn and sometimes spoiled but they had such moving words to describe the man beneath all the facade. And yes, he IS very lovable! Him with his "Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera." Kay, you probably wouldn't understand unless you yourself saw the musical, haha.

And the part that they had the "play" was incredible too - the costumes were dazzling and the dances were so coordinated and so in tune with the music. It was really really awesome.

I teared up at some points, laughed aloud with the rest of the audience at others. I think another thing that made it nice was being able to meet some of the cast. They are gorgeous in real-life, I tell you. The pictures in the program don't do them justice. And the kids are all so cute!

Sales wise, I think we did a pretty good job since we sold all the soundtracks and most of the music scores and books. Before we left, we were given some souvenirs to keep, so hurray! :D

So that's that. Last night marked the end of the musical but if they ever come down to Singapore again, you can bet I'll be there. ;)
