Summary
With the off-Broadway popularity of this zany recreation of a seedy bar in Singapore, circa 1941, environmental theatre has come of age. When patrons enter, they are transported to those heady days when the band played on while the Japanese invaders approached. The story is a daft parody of old movies and is full of intrigue: fishy stolen jewels, a torch singer whose lost memory holds the key to one of the century's greatest mysteries, a sinister dragon lady, corrupt police, and nonstop funny business. Throughout, the music is hot and the cast never hesitates to reach for a laugh. Whether produced as a hilarious cabaret or a lively piece of audience participation theatre, Song of Singapore is an uproarious hit.
