Yesterday, I sat in for my first ever dance rehearsal of Sing City. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen and heard. Ever. It started off nice and formal in Huntsman F92 with Lionel standing in front introducing himself and some comments about dancing, and Josh and I were in the corner chuckling to ourselves, I holding my much-abused Baby Taylor and Josh rubbing his nose. In 10 minutes, we were rolling on the floor. THis is why: Lionel was perched on a chair demonstrating a 'mambo-slash-jc-mass-dance' hand action with waving extensions, drawing in, thrusts and huge cycles, and people were frantically trying to catch up to speed with the wrong hands, wrong timing, and flabbergasted looks upon their faces.
Dear cast- I am not making fun of you. But you have to admit, it was pretty funny!
I loved it especially when Filip said, "I've been waiting my whole life for this sh*t". We anticipate the honorable former Club Sg President to be convulsing in his chair as we 'musicalize' mambo- his academic field of specialty, and to offer a standing ovation to the choreographers and his valiant cast who are importing a truly, Uniquely Singaporean facet of our culture to a distant foreign land. Look for choreographed allusions to Village People's "YMCA", allusions to the choreography of the Sentosa Musical Fountain, Garrett's own "dancing-panther" routine, and a whole host of Zouk Mambo Night moves. Dance away! I look forward to it.
