i just book the tickets! looking forward to the show!

autumnbronze:

So did I!!!!

How much did you pay?

[autumnbronze]

hey buds,


How have you been??

The tickets are $15 each. If you buy a set of 4 tickets, you pay $50 instead of $60.

I booked online via Sistic and paid a booking fee of $1.00 per ticket. As I paid by Mastercard, the collection fee was waived. You can collect the tickets up to one day before the performance by 8pm.

Their website is http://www.sistic.com.sg

Hope this helps.

Hi all,

Just found out that you need to collect show passes at the venue half an hr before the showtime. So go early.

Thanks for the info. I think there's an ad in the Straits Times Life section today on this. Must go early for the tickets then.

Hi mummy of 2,

Have you gone for the Jungle Book and Green Sheep??

How did you find them??

I thought the first was really enjoyable. I especially like the gal who played the role of Ka, the snake. Her grin was .... so 'snaky'. But I did find the ending a bit abrupt though ..... Thank God my DS sat thru the performance. It helped that there was a 15 mins break. So now I can bring him to plays that last a little longer.

As for Green Sheep, though son enjoyed play and wanted me to purchase the book, I don't know if I want to do this again - wait for 45 mins in the queue, given passes, told to come back 10 mins b4 and then queue again to be let in. I mean, there were onlookers standing at the side who got better views of what was going on as those with passes had to sit down and constantly crane our necks as the performers were moving abt so much .... The plus point is that aft the performance, kids get to interact with the performers.

I might just 'gate crash' these performances nxt time. :lol:

BTW, are you going for Bear and Chicken go to school nxt year???

Hi autumnbronze


I watched the Jungle Book last week. Personally, I preferred the other plays by the Little Compnay, such as the Boy who Cried Wolf, and Bear and Chicken Go Camping. Guess i like humour in my plays. There wasn't much singing comapred to other plays too. Agrred with you that the \"snake\" was good. She's also very graceful in her movements.

As for the Green Sheep I'm likely to go during weekend, as things are so hectic at work I can't take leave at all. Especially since i just took leave recently for a trip to Phuket. From your experience, I guess I will gate-crash. Bound to be long q for weekend show. I actually borrowed the book from lib. Maybe u can borrow it first and see if your son really wants to raed it over and over again

I have already bought tickets to Bear and Chicken Get Ready for Schhol. Next play I'm watching will be the\"Farmer, Fox, Bird and the Cookie\" later this month. Can't wait.
