First time my name's on a poster after 6 years of dabbling in the performing arts. Kinda proud of it. (Normally I'm doing stuff too insignificant to warrant precious poster space, e.g. Random Chorus Member, Random Soloist with Insignificant Line, or Unseen Person in the Wings Who Opens Act 3 by Singing Songs a Shepherd Sings to his Sheep)
Anyway, I'll be playing the role of a middle-aged Aunty in 1950's Ipoh who, inter alia, dispenses dating advice and makes feeble attempts at matchmaking the protagonist. Shan't disclose any more, go watch the musical lah!
More about Broken Bridges from the KLPAC website:
"BROKEN BRIDGES is set in Ipoh in the 1950's. The protagonist, Ming, seeks to chart his own destiny while his father, Wong, has his own ideas for his son. Wong is the quintessential Chinese towkay, to the extent of arranging his son's marriage. Ming's best friend and neighbour, Leong, plays the obedient son. The stark contrast in these two characters begs the question: 'So what's wrong with the old ways?', and on the other hand, 'So what's wrong with the new ways?' With a persuasive cousin from the big city, Ringo, appearing on the scene, Ming finally decides to go against his father's wishes and leaves for Kuala Lumpur. 10 years later, Ming returns as a successful contractor, whose project is to tear down the marketplace and in its place, erect a new building. Problems occur; an unhappy relationship with the beautiful head-strong and self-opinionated Mei Ling; construction problems; promised sums of compensation never arriving...the townsfolk become troubled and angry. Wong, in a final act of fatherly love, makes a sacrifice for his son, totally unknown to Ming. Ming leaves Ipoh, humiliated, disappointed and totally ashamed of his father. In the epilogue, Ming returns 30 years later, and only then discovers the fate of his father. BROKEN BRIDGES is a big musical with an even bigger story; wonderful charm, humour and drama. There are 24 musical numbers, inclusive of reprises. There are 11 lead and supporting lead characters. There are also an estimated 15 chorus members playing multiple roles. BROKEN BRIDGES is a truly Malaysian Musical; but above all, it's absolute entertainment."
The press conference happening on Tuesday.. so look out for stuff on Broken Bridges appearing in a newspaper, postbox, wall or pillar near you!
