Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Wow, it was such brilliant acting! That was my first reaction after sitting through a 55-min Act 1 of the CLTCL. These actors are fresh, well at least to Pentas 2 of KLPAC. I was really amazed by how precise and in-depth their emotions were; the interaction among the actors in each sketch was tight and the energy was intensed!
Well, I have to admit that before the show started, I was a bit reluctant to go because of the theme, i.e. love, courtship, marriage and family! How interesting can the play be considering that the play features an ensemble cast comprising Ann Choo, Ee Soon Wei, Colin Kirton, Sean Low, Linora Low, Jonathan Tan and Adrene Wong, except for Colin, all the others are new species to the planet of performing arts TO ME la! However, after the first sketch, I must praise Colin (the creator, producer and director) and his team of Footstool Players, for a wonderful and meaningful production! THUMBS-UP TO YOU GUYS!
RATING: 4* (MUST WATCH)
1st* Entertaining and fun to watch (good acting and directing)
2nd* Educational & information (good script)
3rd* Audience-oriented and good response from audience (good publicity and well researched)
4th* Good team spirit and sincere production
5th Low budget, less impressive set and programme book
