Boeing Boeing

If you have yet to watch Boeing Boeing, you better do before September 4th.

If it’s not for the love of wanting a good laugh - from start to finish, mind you - do it for the eye candy on set.

Adrian Pang’s delivery of Bernard takes the show to a whole new level. It’s the added swagger and smirk that makes the role shine.

And who doesn’t like a girl in uniform? These girls are really hot! Even though I’m pretty sure that their legs were sprayed with Sally Hansen’s leg makeup, they had gorgeous slim legs that go on forever! My favourite character has got to be the kawaii japanese air stewardess played by Emma Yong. Her dramatic antics scores a 120 out of 100 on my score chart.

What makes this show so hilarious is that these 3 ladies present the three different air stewardess to a tee. Chermaine Ang does Miss Cathay Pacific with death stares and spurts of Cantonese phrases. Wendy Kweh hits it home with a heavily Singlish accented speech. And my favourite japanese air stewardess, Emma Yong, breathes so much live and cuteness into her character that you would be left wondering if she did watch too much anime when researching on her role.

The other 2 characters - Robert (played by Daniel York) and Minah (played by Siti Khalijah) also added much flavour to the performance. York added a little more drama into the orginal role, matching Pang’s energetic portrayal of Bernard. I have to say I also loved Khalijah’s take on Minah. I kept repeating the line “it’s not easy you know” for a few hours after the show. It was hilarious.

I was happy that I had chosen an extremely good seat - 11th row centre seats! From where I was seated, I could see all the expressions so clearly!

Long live the theatre in Singapore!
