A philosophy essay and a politics project is the cause of the lag from my recount of "Chicago" the musical last weekend.
Yes, I was part of the chorus in Warwick's rendition of "Chicago". It was an experience to savour, especially in a learning and inspiring sense. It's something I never got a change to experience back home, possibly due to a run of bad luck, but I've never seen talent so casually congregated before than in "Chicago".
Almost everyone could dance AND sing, not in a do-it-in-the-shower way, but actually of a certain quality. Guys who did ballet for 10 years, and ones with exceptional acting ability; one cannot help but feel inspired at the same time awed. At least I did. The more startling thing is that this was an unauditioned chorus!
Anyhow, it has inspired me to push my boundaries (that have been majorly defined by my Singapore-education experience) both musically or academincally. And the reward I got at the end of the performance was a flower from both Ailin and Shuki...
