Broadway’s Tony-Nominated Smash Hit Musical & JULIET premieres in Asia this September at Sands Theatre.
Janice my wildest and most fun girlfriend invited me to join her at the Red Carpet Gala Premier of The Musical: & Juliet. Oh wait, what happened to Romeo? Where oh where is Romeo? We all read this classic literature famous love story when we were kids in school. This musical has a twist of fate for both Romeo and Juliet as Romeo died and Juliet survived only to be engaged to another young man called Francois in Paris. This musical is proven to be edgy, loud, and fun, despite its classic music soundtracks from Back Street Boys, Katy Perry, Jessie J, Robyn, Kesha, Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande, Ellie Goulding, Kelly Clarkson, Celine Dion, Adam Lambert, NSYNC, Pink, Bon Jovi, and Justin Timberlake and more. You will recognize songs that you have listened to when you were a teenager and sing along for sure. Its amazing how they complied all these classic songs and turned it into an amazing and impressive musical show.
Just from the title of this musical, you would think that this show is all about Juliet. Yes, she is the main character of this show, but Romeo appeared at the end of set 1, and stole a little lime light as he is one really tall and good looking chap with a really nice voice. Not to forget, May, a character that fell in love with Juliet's fiancée - Francois. He has the most angelic face and voice in this whole musical. Even I fell in love with him. Everyone in this show has a really good voice and you would be so impressed.
Throughout the whole musical, I found myself dancing (in my seat) and singing along to all the songs they sang. Many others were also dancing in their seats. If we weren't blocking the people sitting behind us, Janice and I would definitely jump up and dance (standing up). It was very uplifting musical, I felt good after watching the show, really speaks about being confident as a woman. Juliet the main character had a really strong voice, but even singers like Angelic the nurse had a really strong voice too. I also love the accents they had, which really made the whole musical even funnier.

As usual, Janice and I always have dinner together before our musical dates, this time we had dinner at Lavo, an Italian rooftop bar and restaurant at Marina Bay Sands. Not only can you view the whole Singapore's southern waterfront from the top level of Marina Bay Sands, they also served really delicious and affordable Italian Pizza, Pasta, and dessert. My favourite Italian dish is their Truffles Beef Carpaccio, I can finally eat it, after being pregnant back to back with two babies under 2 years old now. We also ordered a Truffles Pizza which was huge, I think 2-3 girls can share their pizza. We both had a Black Stout to enjoy our meal.
Of course, we needed to take a photo of their famous LAVO Light Box at the entrance of their restaurant. You can see the beautiful view of Singapore from this place.
I carried my Limited Edition Lady Dior Bag today. I love it! Bling Bling! They only had 1 of such bag when I bought this from Dior Singapore.

I went to Cartier to expand my Limited Edition Watch. Yes, I got fatter from my pregnancy, so I needed to expand my watch. I bought this watch from Cartier New York at around USD$35,000. Cartier don't sell this watch anymore and I've checked, the price of this Cartier Delices De Cartier Rose Gold Women's Watch is now selling at around USD$36,500+. Its polished solid 18k rose gold case and bracelet. Polished solid 18k rose gold fixed bezel set with 58 diamonds. Silver dial with Roman numeral hour markers.

We went to check out the most popular, most famous, and most luxurious night club in Singapore that is located at Marina Bay Sands. It was very beautiful with their indoors ferris wheel and amazing glow in the dark slide. How fun!

Sara Shantelle Lim's SGD$40,000 Birthday Bash 2014
Last night, Janice and I went for CATS Singapore Musical by #BASE Entertainment at Marina Bay Sands Theater, it was the Red Carpet Opening Premier night for Cats Musical. As usual, Janice loves dressing up for musicals, hence we wore amazing Evening Gowns from The Louvre Bridal.
We had so much fun last night, as we dressed up to the nines for this special red carpet event. Oh look! Janice evening gown matches the stage.... and SEATS TOO!!!!
With a 53-strong cast and crew from Britain, including a live band, performing English composer Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical score, which ranges from peppy toe-tapping numbers such as Jellicle Songs For Jellicle Cats to the mournful ballad which became a 1981 pop hit, Memory.
I was personally impressed by their cat body suit and amazingly detailed make up.
THE CATS CAN REALLY DANCE VERY WELL.
But I would rate it slightly "MA" - MATURE AUDIENCE.
IT HAS A LOT OF SEX APPEAL.
Sara Shantelle Lim at CATS Singapore Red Carpet Premier Night
You will notice that this musical would probably be more suitable for a slightly more mature crowd as most of the characters are in a very SEXY BODY CON SUIT. The outstanding thing about this musical is that, their make up and cat costumes looks really nice.
This musical has a very strong sexual appeal. I noticed that when I am watching this musical, most of the time, I'm just really distracted because the entire show, you will notice their very catty moves from each individual cat character is very sexy and the body movements are all pretty sensual. You can see the entire curves of each actors body under their tight and thin layer of skin suit. You can see every detail of their muscles on their legs all the way to their thighs, and even their nipples when the actors are cold.
Apart from this, their songs are really nice, well, Andrew Lloyd Webber's music is always impressive. Their famous song - Memory would stick into your mind, with a ear worm when you walk out of the musical. The set backdrop looks amazing. It is a scene of a "Garbage Trash Park"?
There is no change of COSTUMES unlike most other musicals.
Hence it might not be that exciting for kids?
Overall, I would say that this musical is more suitable for older crowds, not so much for children, I think that most kids might not be able to relate, as there is not much change in the scenes or characters. It is mainly, the different Cats singing different songs in the whole musical. Unless, you listen to the words of each song carefully, you might not be able to catch their story line. Their story line is NOT OBVIOUS. Kids will not understand what is going on. So unless you appreciate CATS dancing and singing throughout the whole musical, don't bother bringing the kids, it would be a little too dry for them.
Overall, this musical is not my favourite, as there's no exciting change of backdrops, there is also no change of outfits in different scenes to impress you. It gives me a feel like I am watching a ballet - not much change in scene, colours, costumes, or character. I guess, I personally prefer musicals like Aladdin that has a very exciting and entertaining story line that is easy and obvious to follow, and it has a lot of impressive costume changes and it has a lot of JOKES and HUMOUR.I don't really see any humour in CATS.
SUMMARY OF REVIEW FOR CATS
SONG AND ACTORS are IMPRESSIVE in singing and acting.
Storyline - so so.. not obvious enough for kids to follow..
Costumes - IMPRESSIVE at first, but no changes involved, might get bored after awhile.
Rating - 6/10.
Only because I was slightly bored due to not much changes in the entire show.
BUT the MUSIC & DANCE IS REALLY AWESOME - so its still a good watch overall.
ACTOR & SINGERS - EXTREMELY TALENTED
VERY CAT LIKE FEEL

I love going to Black Tap, it is from California, it has a really good, exciting, HIP, young and fun concept. They play really nice hip hop, dance, pop music, while you are dining. It has a very modern feel as you can see lots of graffiti on their walls. It is colours and the staff there are as cool as the place. They are most famous for their BEEF Burgers, CRAZY MILK SHAKES, and draft beers.
Janice and I shared a Bam Bam Milk Shake, a Rasputin Stout that has 9% alcohol, a beef Burger, and a Beef Salad. It was AWESOME! Loved every single beverage and dish!
I LOVE MILK SHAKES!

I love this salad it has all my favourite food - beef, cheese, rocket leaves. Ahhh.. its heavenly. Surprisingly, its extremely FILLING. Suitable and filling enough to just have this 1 dish as a full meal for a GIRL. If you are on a diet, its also suitable for 2 GIRLS to share.
