Hmmmmmm.................

For the opening show tonight, it wasn't as good as I expected. Or did I raise it a little too high?

Personally, I think the performance is 3.5 out of 5... but I'll give 4 to their acrobatic dance which I really like! A lot of well-dressed people and well, a true-blue French musical (in french!).

It's a little difficult trying to read those English/Mandarin subtitles, after a while, you just want to forget about the screen and concentrate on every little thing that is happening on stage!! A very complex love story between Quasimodo (main cast), Frollo, Phoebus and Esmeralda, with narrator, Gringoire. I was expecting more from Gringoire, but Frollo seemed to stand out among them, I think he did much better job. Actually so did Esmeralda.

Despite I'm not a big fan of the language (French), I'm always open to watching musicals. Keen to watch the first French musical in Singapore, click here for Notre Dame de Paris.
