EVERYONE IS THEREFORE EXCITED TO SEE YOU PERFORM KWA GEOK CHOO. WHAT MADE YOU SAY ‘YES’ THIS TIME AROUND?

Seven years ago, if they were in the preliminary stages of preparing for The LKY Music, I was very enthusiastic about it! Because it was the same team that did Forbidden Town: Dick Lee (music), Steven Dexter (director), Stephen Clark (lyrics) and, of course , SRT.

However , when they were actually going to phase it that same year, I had my own concert, Spellbound, and yes it totally clashed with the opening night. The concert was on the exact same day so I couldn’t do it.

Of course , I was filled up with regrets, but I went to watch the particular show after our concert, and I experienced it was a really great manufacturing. It was a bittersweet feeling for me. I had been thinking, “Oh, the reason why did I skip this show? ” But I was fairly confident, even entirely back then, that they might do a rerun at some time because it was this type of good show.

And having performed shows like Unacceptable City or Snow Wolf Lake, which were staged a few times, I am just fully aware that a show can only improve with each restaging.
