Reactions

“Together with the other five members – Alex Koh, Ida Mariana, Tony Eusoff, Shanon Shah and Chee Sek Thim (also the director) – they brought the house down with their energy and enthusiasm even though one was clearly nervous probably due to opening night jitters.” New Sunday Times (9 October 2005)

“At the end of the night, I felt like running out to get the CD soundtrack of at least half the musicals featured.” Star Two (Wednesday, 12 October 2005)
