Fell in love with the musical show; SHOUT! The Mod Musical. Yesterday was the last show and gosh, wish I can watch it again. Non-stop singing and performance for 1 hour 45 minutes. Awesome! Superb! Energetic! Gwendolyn!! Haha... That suddenly popped out. Funny~ Kudos to the whole production team of the show. Everyone was enjoying, laughing throughout the show. I didn't think of anything else not even for a second. Great! If my life is fill with this kind of atmosphere everyday kan bagus. Don't have to think anything and laugh; be entertained with music and funny stuffs. Overall, it was a nice experience since it's my first time watching musical theater. Thanks to my dear Yellow girl for the tix!

About Shout! The Mod Musical
	SHOUT! is the mod musical magazine that brings back the beautiful birds and smashing sounds that made England swing in the 60's. From cover-to-cover SHOUT! travels in time from 1960 to 1970 chronicling the dawning liberation of women. Just as Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark, Cilla Black, and Lulu were independent women with major careers, English and American women were redefining themselves in the face of changing attitudes about gender. SHOUT! reflects that change through the unforgettable music of the time. Though SHOUT! wears its heart on its sleeve, it also has its tongue planted firmly in its cheek. Everything from the period is recreated - from the fashions and the dances to the music and the hair; all of which is heightened and made just a tiny bit larger. Created by Phillip George and David Lowenstein (the team that directed and choreographed the Drama Desk Award-winning HOWARD CRABTREE'S WHOOP-DEE-DOO), SHOUT! features terrific new arrangements of such classic tunes as TO SIR WITH LOVE, DOWNTOWN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY YOU LOVE ME, SON OF A PREACHER MAN, and GOLDFINGER. Writers like Tony Hatch, Carol King and Bernie Goffin, Burt Bacharach and Hal David are all heard at the top of their game through songs that resonate with a timeless quality which appeals to every generation. With a shimmy and shake, the songs are tied together by hilarious sound bites from the period - from 60's advertisements for anything and everything - to lonely hearts letters answered by an advice columnist who thinks every problem can be solved with a "fetching new hair style and a new shade of lipstick." With its irresistible blend of foot-stomping songs, eye-popping fashions and psychedelic dances, this delightful musical will make you want to throw your head back and SHOUT! SHOUT! flips through the years like a musical magazine and takes you back to the music, the fashion and the freedom of the 60's! This smashing revue tracks five groovy gals as they come of age during those liberating days that made England swing! Join this non-stop journey through the infectious and soulful pop anthems and ballads that made household names of stars like Petula Clark, Dusty Springfield and Lulu. SHOUT! uses letters to an advice columnist, true confessions, quizzes and advertisements as a frame for terrific new arrangements of such chart-topping hits as "To Sir With Love," "Downtown," "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me," "Son of A Preacher Man," and "Goldfinger." With its irresistible blend of hip-swiveling hits, eye-popping fashions and psychedelic dances from the 60's, this fun-filled musical will make you want to throw your head back and SHOUT!

Excerpt from the news.....

Set in Britain, the musical is about modern magazine Shout!, which focuses on 1960s music, fashion and liberation. It revolves around five girls – caring and motherly Orange Girl (Ning Baizura), slutty Green Girl (Tria Aziz), low self-esteem Red Girl (Shanel Shanty James), beautiful but arrogant Blue Girl (Tisha Zarina) and loud American Yellow Girl (Nikki Palikat). Stephanie Van Driesen is the understudy for characters Red and Yellow.

With a shimmy and a shake, the girls (in patent leather high boots, tight skirts and shimmery outfits from the 60s) belt out songs from that era such as To Sir With Love (Lulu), Downtown (Petula Clark), Diamonds Are Forever (Shirley Bassey), Wishin’ And Hopin’ (Dusty Springfield), These Boots Are Made For Walkin’ (Nancy Sinatra) and Georgy Girl (The Seekers).

Besides singing, they talk about new fads in face creams, The Pill and independence. They also send in lonely heart letters to Agony Aunt Gwendolyn Holmes (Joanna Bessey) who thinks every problem can be solved with “a fetching new hairstyle” or “a new shade of lipstick”.
