I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change

I love romantic comedies. Isn’t it surreal, the idea that if someone is meant to be with you, then they should know what you want without you telling them? Unrealistic yes, but surreal.

A new friend WS suggested going for the musical “I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change” and so I did some homework on it. it’s been staged in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, the UK and Australia before. Reviews look good. The musical supposedly does a comedic take on all things taboo about dating, marriage, spouses and in-laws. Romantic comedy? NOT. Which is just as well, given my current state of mind. “A tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance”. Yeap, that’s me. See you there!

Shakespeare in the Park - Macbeth

Pack a nice picnic basket and make your way to Fort Canning Park this April/May for an evening under the stars and a touch of drama. Shakespeare in the Park returns this year with the story Macbeth. Yes, we are going!

Dates: 28 Apr to 22 May 2011 s
Time: Gates open at 6.30pm and show starts 7.30pm
Price: $38 for advance tickets (up to a day before), $48 for normal tickets.


Tips
1. Arrive early to "chope" a nice spot to lay your picnic mat. Aim for somewhere up the slope for better breeze and unobstructed views.

2. It gets dark by 7.30pm so start your picnic at 6.30pm. Get food that's easy to eat - sandwiches etc.

3. If you don't have time to pack a picnic basket, they sell some food and beverages there too. It'll be pricey though.

"Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble."


I had a blast last year's Much Ado about Nothing. I think Macbeth would be even better. See you there!
