The Nightingale, one of the sweetest, simplest and melodious children's theatre plays we have seen this year. Cozy environment of the DBS theatre, colourful theme based Chinese sets and a truly nightingale like singing made it a perfect show for all of us. The Chinese Emperor looked cute and his expressions made kids laugh many times during the show. The Nightingale is based on a simple story of the Chinese Emperor who was deprived of the world and many other things outside his palace. Even so he was not aware what feelings were and the first time he had tears in his eyes, he thought it was water. When the maid told him about the nightingale, he was evenly surprised what it was. He lived a lavish emperor like life but all confined inside the walls. It was nothing less than a cage which he realized when he captivated the nightingale in the studded cage for his entertainment and when she nearly lost her voice and was about to die for freedom. He realized that no one can live in the cage.
The cast was well-spoken and clear in their dialogues and expressions. The dresses fit well for the show. As a mother watching my kids responding to and interacting with the cast, while enjoying the play was truly heartfelt. So much so our younger one was slightly unwell before the show but she had all forgotten about it and was too happy that she would not stop smiling :). The kids also loved the dog, frog, cow and the Nightingale.
Other than the Emperor of China, Nightingale, Protector and the maid played their respective characters very well.
HOP and HONK - The Ugly Duckling and the Frog Prince
29 Oct - 15 Nov 2014
Drama Centre Theatre, National Library
Hop and Honk is a spectacular musical performance presented in the best Broadway and West End tradition!
How, and why did the prince turn into the frog? Who did the ugly duckling meet when she ran away? And bringing the two stories together — what happens when the frog meets the duckling?
By combining and intertwining two seemingly quite different stories from two of history's most prolific children's authors, Hans Christian Andersen and The Brothers Grimm, we can shed new light on both classic tales — and the result is double the entertainment value.
