Titoudao


Worth every dollar spent

Caught Titoudao on a lazy Friday this week, took 1/2 day to r&r.
I must say that it was money well-spent. I only paid $28 for the matinee show at 1500hrs, because there was a promotion.

The cast was phenomenal and the story was moving, Pam Oei depicted the character of Madam Oon Ah Chiam/Titoudao almost to perfection that you would be so attached to the show during the 2hrs. The rest of the cast did really well too, I almost didn't want it to end.

Go watch it at the National Library Drama Centre if you can, runs till 31st March 2007.

There were lots of outstanding performances, yes, but I was sad that roots revivalism was conducted by revisiting the SAME experience of deracination and cultural erosion on Adli “Alin” Mosbit, the Malay girl who was trained to sing in hokkien (she doesn’t know the language obviously) so that chinese-singaporeans could enjoy exotica.
