The thirty minutes performance consisted of improvised skits where the cast had to think on their feet and come up with lines based either on random letters of the alphabet or based on lines contributed by the audience.
While the idea is most definitely creative, it certainly isn't original as any person who has watched Whose Line Is It Anyway would tell you. A blatant reproduction but with localized segment names.
Personally, I felt it was a flop. For one, the hostress was speaking too fast, and whether it be the sound system or her muffled voice, she was very unclear. While kudos to the audience for being active in cheering and clapping, the cast could have been more entertaining, this reviewer feels.
Indeed, if it weren't for blatant humor such as lines, written by the audience prior to the show, being read out at random moments, the show would have failed terribly.
One issue the producers might consider is that we do not have a definite spelling dictionary. K can be kingdom. K can also be kanasai. Also, perhaps one might play around more with a younger cast. There were times the jokes fell through, perhaps due to generation gap or age differences. There's a line between lame and funny. They were clearly in the former category.
I certainly look forward to future renditions of this 'format' of improvisation. Whose Line Is It Anyway did make it till the 8th season in the UK, and there is no reason why it cannot be replicated locally as well.
