BROADWAY BENG®!
(Re-run)
10 – 19 August 2006
DBS Arts Centre, Home of SRT
For a limited run only, our Broadway Beng® returns with his critically acclaimed madcap musical stand up comedy. Local humour delivered in true blue Ah-Beng “Hokkien-Engrish”! You saw Sebastian Tan “Bring the house down” (Straits Times) in KaraUok and in “a nuanced performance as Ah Beng” (TODAY) in the recently produced Army Daze. Well, you must catch this UK Miss Saigon star now as he “yo ah yo ah” with his very “tok kong” back up singers/ dancers/ ktv girls, the Chio Buus! Starring Donna Daniels, Denise Tan and Jackie Pereira! There’ll be lots and lots of side-splitting humour, big showtunes and heartwrenching Hokkien songs. “Laugh until siao! You donch wan me?”
