With every note that screams out Dick Lee, and a huge box of slapstick jokes, the BEAUTY of cabaret girls meets the WORLD of a girl's search for her father.
Surely, you can read the blatantly obvious hints?
The last time I heard of the musical was when it aired on President's Star Charity a couple of years ago. And the tune stayed in my head, so much that if you ever uttered the two words to me, I would end it with a 'cha cha cha'.
The storyline is rather simple to understand.
Girl is born and left by parent.
Parent leave her jade pendant.
Girl grow up.
Girl follows words on jade pendant, and ends up at Beauty World.
Thinks her father is there, so she 'blends' in and becomes one of the cabaret girls.
Makes top girl there jealous.
Conflict occurs.
Top girl is girl's mother.
The End.
Okay, so there are a few subplots missing from there, like Frankie who is Ivy's boyfriend from Batu Bah-heart, and Ivy's pen-pal who thinks herself high class, and cabaret girls low class, and Ah Hock who falls for Ivy, and.... need I go on?
To be honest, it feels like an extended episode of PCK. You will laugh a lot, but you won't remember what you laughed at once the musical is over.
Purchase a ticket if you're interested. However, the humor would only appease you temporarily so don't say you dunch know.
