A Singaporean in Paris: Rendvous with French classic songs


A clever production that combined Singapore-style comedy with a showcase of French songs.  An unlikely combination, but it worked.   Set in a French cabaret where our protagonist (played by Hossan Leong) had a performance engagement,  A Singaporean in Paris was about the lives of individuals living their dream in Paris.

The jokes were typically Singaporean and delivered well by Hossan.  He had good support from other singers / actors such as Vicky Williamson, Peter Ong, Mina Kaye and Linden Furnell.  The songs, sang in both French and English, fitted well into the show.

A well produced show where the cast and the production standards were high.  It was full house at the SOTA Theatre on the Saturday matinee, and the audience gave a warm reception to the production.
