December Rains


It was my very first time watching a chinese-language musical, after my wonderful encounters with English ones such as Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon and Saturday Night Fever. My friend loves Kit Chan very very much and so we spent some hard-earned money to watch the Sunday Matinee show of December Rains.


The show ran for 10 days at the Esplanade. Some sessions include autograph sessions with the writers and producers, Liang Wenfu and Ye Liangjun, while some featured Kit Chan. Ours was the last show, but we didn't stay to queue for the autographs.


The stage was awesome. However the show was mediocre. Sets looked cheap, and costumes bland. Some of the singers were bad, and the dances were badly choreographed. The storyline was pure lame and cliche. The only impressive two things : Kit Chan's live singing was FANTASTIC, and the songs of the musicals were touching.
