An Endless Summer Awaits: LAVO Singapore Reopens with a Breathtaking Amalfi Coast Makeover

Imagine yourself 57 storeys high, with a gentle breeze in your hair and the glittering Singapore skyline spread out beneath you. This is the promise of the newly reimagined LAVO Coastal Italian Restaurant & Rooftop Bar, a destination that captures the very essence of an eternal Italian summer.

Perched atop Marina Bay Sands, LAVO has shed its skin to reveal a stunning new look inspired by the sun-drenched elegance of the Amalfi Coast. Since its launch in 2018, it has been a beacon of skyline glamour, and now it enters a new era. Think warm Mediterranean neutrals, gorgeous handcrafted tiles, and honey-toned accents that glow during golden hour. The expansive wraparound terrace offers unparalleled panoramic views of both the city and the sea, creating the perfect backdrop for everything from a champagne brunch to sunset cocktails that stretch late into the night.

A long-time favourite for the jet-set, LAVO has always buzzed with a unique energy. It has hosted an incredible lineup of stars, including Mariah Carey, The Weeknd, David Beckham, and Bella Hadid. The recent relaunch party was no exception, with Singapore-born American actor Ross Butler hosting the star-studded affair and celebrity DJ Kim Lee setting the mood on the dance floor, reaffirming LAVO’s status as the place to see and be seen.

A Culinary Ode to La Dolce Vita

The heart of LAVO’s transformation is its refreshed menu, a beautiful love letter to coastal Italy. While long-time fans will be delighted to find signatures like the legendary Meatball and the towering 20-Layer Chocolate Cake still hold pride of place, they are now joined by a symphony of new seaside flavours.

Prepare to be swept away by dishes like the Mafaldine Seafood Alfredo, a decadent pasta tossed with succulent shrimp and scallops in a rich lobster butter sauce. Freshness is paramount, celebrated in plates like the Grilled Branzino, perfectly cooked and brightened with a Sorrento lemon vinaigrette, and the tender Grilled Octopus antipasti. It’s a menu where simplicity meets sophistication, letting the pure, vibrant flavours of the sea truly shine.

Raise a Glass to Coastal Flavours

No Italian escape is complete without the perfect drink, and LAVO’s new cocktail programme is a masterpiece. Each creation is designed to complement the coastal menu, from refreshing spritzes to bold, flavour-forward cocktails that taste like summer in a glass.

For a true taste of the Mediterranean, try the Amalfi Breeze—a dreamy, effervescent blend of coconut, gin, and prosecco. Or perhaps the From Sicily with Love, a floral and fruity concoction that pays homage to the Italian countryside. For those who prefer their fun guilt-free, the mocktail selection is just as enchanting, featuring the velvety and tropical La Dolce Vita.

Your Sky-High Escape Awaits

More than just a restaurant, LAVO is a destination pulsating with energy from day to night. It’s a place for celebrating life’s moments, big and small. Its famous weekend brunches are a fixture on the city’s social calendar, and for the ultimate party, the iconic LAVO Party Brunch returns on select weekends with live DJs and immersive entertainment.

Whether you’re settling into the sun-drenched dining room, enjoying an alfresco meal on the terrace, or soaking up the vibrant atmosphere at the lounge, LAVO promises an unforgettable escape. It’s where the spirit of la dolce vita comes alive, high above the heart of the city.

Find them: LAVO Singapore is located at Level 57, Marina Bay Sands Hotel Tower 1.

A Swashbuckling Spectacle: PAW Patrol Live “The Great Pirate Adventure” Sails into Singapore!

Shiver me timbers! The PAW Patrol pups recently docked in Singapore with their high-energy, musical extravaganza, “The Great Pirate Adventure,” and it was a treasure trove of fun for the whole family. My little ones and I were lucky enough to catch the show, and we’re still humming the catchy tunes and reliving the exciting escapades.

A Pirate Day to Remember in Adventure Bay

The show opened with the familiar bustle of Adventure Bay as Mayor Goodway prepared for the annual Pirate Day celebration. But the festivities were quickly interrupted when Cap’n Turbot found himself in a spot of bother, trapped in a mysterious cavern! Enter Ryder and his fearless team of pirate pups, ready to save the day with their trademark blend of bravery and ingenuity.

The rescue mission took an exciting turn when the pups discovered a secret pirate treasure map. With Mayor Humdinger hot on their tails (or should that be paws?), the race was on to find the hidden loot before he could get his mischievous claws on it. The ensuing adventure took us from the familiar shores of Adventure Bay to uncharted islands and treacherous seas, keeping the little ones on the edge of their seats.

“The Great Pirate Adventure” was a visual and auditory delight. The colourful costumes, dynamic set design, and energetic choreography brought the beloved animated series to life in spectacular fashion. The catchy songs had the entire audience singing and dancing along, creating a truly immersive and interactive experience.

But beyond the entertainment value, the show also cleverly weaved in valuable lessons about teamwork, problem-solving, and perseverance. The pups demonstrated the importance of working together, using their unique skills to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. It was a subtle yet powerful message that resonated with the young audience.

Overall, PAW Patrol Live “The Great Pirate Adventure” was a resounding success. It was a joyous and engaging show that captured the spirit of the beloved TV series while offering a fresh and exciting storyline. My children were utterly captivated from start to finish, and I have to admit, I found myself thoroughly entertained as well. It was a wonderful opportunity to spend quality time together as a family and create lasting memories. If the PAW Patrol sails into Singapore again, we’ll be the first to grab our tickets and climb aboard!

A Review of Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical- Now Showing in Singapore

I have been a big fan of British Author Roald Dahl ever since I started reading his book novels more than 2 decades ago and his books never fails to captivate me. Some of Roald Dahl’s works which I have read include James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Danny, The Champion of the World, The BFG, and Matilda. Hence, you can imagine my excitement when I had the privilege to attend the Gala Premiere of Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical at Sands Theatre @ Marina Bay Sands.

Musical Synopsis

The musical follows Matilda, a precocious 5-year-old girl who loves reading and learning but is suppressed by her TV-obsessed parents who pay her little attention. As she grows up, she begins to resist the challenges and obstacles presented to her, learning that sometimes you have to be a “little bit naughty” in order to get through life. As she begins to master living with her family, her world is thrown into disarray as she starts a new school under the tyrannous grip of Headteacher Miss Trunchbull. Seeking solace in the library in a world of her imagination and creation, Matilda forms strong bonds with adults such as Librarian Mrs Phelps and her class teacher Miss Honey. Together they give her the confidence to embrace her special gift and individuality which is needed to reclaim her life.

My Personal Thoughts

I truly enjoyed Matilda The Musical; so much so that I found myself humming to the tune of “When I Grow Up” even after the show! The meticulously-crafted lyrics of the musical numbers by Olivier Award winner Tim Minchin unfold the story through songs like “Naughty” and “Miracle” and the production sets and costumes by Tony Award® winner Rob Howell are intricately designed. Coupled with the dazzling lighting by Tony Award® winner Hugh Vanstone, the whole stage comes alive.

With an incredible cast of young performers, Matilda The Musical inspires and delights audiences both young and old. The timeless story of a small girl’s determination to challenge those above her for the greater good, combined with Roald Dahl’s signature wit and naughtiness, makes this an unforgettable musical.

Reasons to Catch Matilda The Musical

Matilda The Musical is a winner of over 85 international awards, including 16 for Best Musical. Currently in its seventh year of running in London, Matilda The Musical continues to delight audiences of all ages and has been seen by more than 8 million people.

The Hills Are Alive With The Sound Of Music Now Showing At The MasterCard Theatres, Marina Bay Sands

One of the world’s best-loved musicals, “THE SOUND OF MUSIC” is now showing at the MasterCard Theatres, Marina Bay Sands to a star-studded affair, with tickets to the critically acclaimed show being the hottest in town. Due to popular demand, the season has also been extended and will run until 3 December 2017.

This highly-acclaimed production comes from the home of West End musical theatre – the famous London Palladium – where the lavish and dazzling show celebrated a record-breaking 954 performances and was seen by over two million people.  In Singapore, the show played to almost 70,000 people during its five-week season in July/August 2014.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC tells the uplifting true story of Maria, the fun-loving governess who changes the lives of the widowed Captain von Trapp and his seven children by re-introducing them to music, culminating in the family’s escape across the Austrian mountains as tensions rise prior to the outbreak of World War II.

With its unforgettable score, THE SOUND OF MUSIC touches the hearts of all ages and contains some of the most memorable songs ever performed on the musical theatre stage including My Favourite Things, Do-Re-Mi, Climb Ev’ry Mountain, Edelweiss, The Lonely Goatherd, Sixteen Going on Seventeen, and of course the glorious title song The Sound of Music.

Additionally, eighteen of Singapore’s most able young actors and actresses will play the coveted roles of six of the seven von Trapp children, with three children chosen to alternate each character. The children come from all corners of Singapore and will perform in rotation throughout the season as the small and cute Gretl, the brothers Friedrich and Kurt, as well as their sisters Marta, Brigitta, and Louisa.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC’S original score is a result of the genius output of composer Richard Rodgers collaborating with the lyricist and librettist Oscar Hammerstein. The original 1959 Broadway production of THE SOUND OF MUSIC won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and was Rogers and Hammerstein’s biggest success.  The 1965 movie starring Julie Andrews as Maria won five Oscars, including Best Picture, and remains one of the most popular movies of all time.

Our Take On THE SOUND OF MUSIC

The SOUND OF MUSIC is truly a classic and although it was our first time watching the SOUND OF MUSIC musical, we enjoyed the splendid performance so much that we could not stop humming to the songs.  In fact, watching the musical reminded us of the awesome time we had in Europe and we wouldn’t mind watching the Sound of Music a second time.

If you are keen to know the real story of the Von Trapp Family after watching the Sound of Music musical, you can check it out here. If you’re travelling to the United States and you have been inspired by the Sound of Music musical, you can visit the Trapp Family Lodge owned by the Von Trapp Family.

[Musical Review]- West Side Story Now Showing At Marina Bay Sands

I’m not sure if anyone has heard or is familiar with the West Side Story musical but when I first heard about it; I was pretty much clueless and have I not done some reading up before the musical, I probably would not have appreciated it.

Described as ‘The No.1 Greatest Musical of all Time’ by The Times, UK; West Side Story is inspired by William Shakespeare’s tumultuous love story (Romeo and Juliet), and set amidst the vicious rivalry of teenage gangs in 1950s New York.

The Plot:

The musical explores the rivalry between the Jets and the Sharks, two teenage street gangs of different ethnic backgrounds. The members of the Sharks, from Puerto Rico, are taunted by the Jets, a white gang. The young protagonist, Tony, a former member of the Jets and best friend of the gang’s leader, Riff, falls in love with Maria, the sister of Bernardo, the leader of the Sharks.

In Short:

A boy. A girl. Two rival gangs. One fatal love affair. 

The dark theme, sophisticated music, extended dance scenes, and its focus on social problems changed the face of American musical theatre forever when it burst onto the Broadway stage in 1957.

To better appreciate West Side Story, I highly recommend that you do some prior reading so that you have some context about the musical; otherwise, you might pull a “sian” face like the many new “influencers” I saw during the intermission.

Personally, I enjoyed the performance very much and having travelled to both North and South America; I really like the authentic setting of the musical.

The West Side Story musical is now showing at the Grand Theatre, MasterCard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands till 30 September 2017.

Ticket prices start from SGD$55 and if you’re a student or NSF, you can get a ticket for just SGD$35 nett!

Get your tickets here now!

WICKED The Musical Is Coming To Singapore @ Marina Bay Sands

As a kid, I have always been a fan of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, a children’s novel written by L. Frank Baum and I was really intrigued when I stumbled upon Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, the alternative novel by Gregory Maguire which is also set in the Land of Oz.
Having read both novels, it was a pity that I didn’t have the chance to watch WICKED The Musical when they came to Singapore 5 years ago as I was serving my National Service. Fast forward to today, I am really glad that WICKED is back and the award-winning Broadway and West End Musical will be coming to perform live in Singapore at the Marina Bay Sands from 29 September 2016 to 16 October 2016.

Will there any difference between this coming stage show and the last one that was here 5 years ago?

Yes, there will be and I found out about it when I had a one-to-one interview with Elphaba, the green-skinned witch (played by Jacqueline Hughes).

Jacqueline Hughes

Me: What Inspired You To Take On The Role of Elphaba?

Jacqueline Hughes: Elphaba is hopeful and she’s a dreamer and she’s young and she’s got all these hopes and dreams; which I suppose is quite like myself, you know we are all dreamers; and essentially being Pisces; it’s sort of like my traits. But she’s misunderstood by everyone because of her green skin. She’s fiery, she’s feisty, she’s powerful, and she’s an incredible character to play and she’s also incredibly complex; which is why I love playing the part so much because there’s so many layers to it.

Image Credit: WICKED Worldwide

Me: Would You Think That It Is Extremely Hard For You To Get Into The Character As Opposed To You Being Yourself?

Jacqueline Hughes: You almost bring a part of yourself to the character and it has definitely helped me to portray the role. I’m originally from Scotland so I have a bit of fire in my blood and the determination like how Elphaba does. She’s incredibly tough and she’s thick-skinned; she has to be, and I really admire her for that.

Me: Is There Anything That You Hate About This Character At All?

Jacqueline Hughes: No, I just love playing the character. She has such an incredible journey from being a young hopeful university student to being this powerful woman who’s constantly faced with battles and she tries to overcome them and do good. She never wants to do wrong, she always want to do right but unfortunately, the propaganda around her has made her wicked; so by the end of the show with “No Good Deed”, which is actually my favourite song to perform; she said she’s had enough and she said ok, this is it, you want me to be wicked then so be it, I’m going to be wicked.

Image Credit: WICKED Worldwide

Me: Do You See Any Challenges Taking On This Role?

Jacqueline Hughes: Oh yeah. Lots of challenges. The role itself is so demanding; vocally, physically and mentally. I really have to look after myself. I need to make sure that I get enough sleep, enough rest, lots of water, and lots of vocal maintenance just to make sure that I can portray this role at every show. It is highly demanding but it is also rewarding as well; it’s sort of a love hate relationship.

Me: What’s Your Perfect Sunday Afternoon Like?

Jacqueline Hughes: My perfect Sunday afternoon is to be at home with my husband. We live out in the country so we take our jog, lots of walks. A walk in the park with my husband and my dog, sitting in the park, having a lovely Sunday lunch.

Me: What is one thing that fans of the WICKED can look forward to in this coming show? Is there something that will catch them by surprise?

Jacqueline Hughes: Yeah, firstly, it is an entirely British cast and we have never been to this part of the world before. There’s 72 of us that are bringing the show over. Fortunately, we have the American creative team to come and work with us and they have actually added some magical bits to freshen up the show. There’s more magic and more flying, and lots more to catch the audiences’ eyes.

Image Credit: WICKED Worldwide

Me: What is one fact about WICKED that fans may not probably know about?

Jacqueline Hughes: The Wicked Witch is not named in the original L. Frank Baum novel. Gregory Maguire invented the name for her using Baum’s initial; L.F.B. (Elphaba), that’s where the name Elphaba comes from.

Having concluded the interview with Jacqueline Hughes; I am definitely excited about watching WICKED The Musical and I really can’t wait to watch their coming performance here in Singapore.

If you’re keen, tickets to the musical can be booked via Marina Bay Sands Online or via SISTIC Online.

Ticket prices start from SGD$55 to SGD$230.

Don’t miss this chance to catch WICKED The Musical live at the Marina Bay Sands!

Blue Man Group- Enemy of Monotony, Remedy for Boredom, Promoter of Overjoy and Elation

Presented by Nick Grace Management, Lunchbox Theatrical Group, Sliding Doors Entertainment and BASE Entertainment Asia; Jacqueline and I caught the Blue Man Group at the Marina Bay Sands Mastercard Theatres 3 days ago and it was such a splendid performance that there was never a dull moment from start till end and we totally enjoyed ourselves that delightful evening.

Honestly, it’s been a long while since we last attended a performance like this and we really like how the Blue Man Group captivated the audiences with their humorous and interactive antics. While most of the musical entertainment were mainly instrumental rock with no vocals, it got us rocking and swaying with the crowds anyway.

In case you’re wondering; Blue Man Group is comedy, theatre, rock concert and dance party all rolled into one and for the first time in Singapore, this global phenomenon will blow audiences away with their high energy show. Now approaching their 25th year of creativity, this artistic group has been a smash hit off Broadway and on the Las Vegas Strip and cannot wait to redefine entertainment in Singapore.

We must also say, the backstage crew were certainly well coordinated and the lighting effects were out of the ordinary. There were a lot of 3D digital effects application and they were certainly very mesmerising.

So what can you expect out of the Blue Man Group?

Blue Man Group creates experiences that defy categorisation, taking the audience on a journey that is funny, intelligent and visually stunning, culminating in the trademark Blue Man Group finale in a blissful party atmosphere. Blue Man Group is accompanied by a live band whose tribal rhythms help drive the show to its unforgettable climax.

 

Awesome and hilarious show! Highly recommended. Because partying on Friday is too mainstream! 😛 #bluemangroup #bluemanselfie

A video posted by Melvin Lee & Jacqueline Teo (@awinsomelife) on

Having captivated 35 million people worldwide across 15 countries, don’t miss this opportunity to catch the Blue Man Group because it will definitely be the treat of a lifetime!

GREASE- It’s got groove, it’s got meaning and it’s coming to Singapore!

The new multi-million dollar musical GREASE will blaze into Singapore this coming April from London’s West End after a sensational sell-out tour in Australia and it will open at the MasterCard® Theatres at Marina Bay Sands on 25 April 2014.

This rocking musical production is packed with explosive energy and it will feature a spectacular international cast, super-slick dance moves, dazzling costumes, and all those unforgettable songs from the hit movie, including Summer Nights, Sandy, Hopelessly Devoted To You, You’re The One That I Want, Greased Lightnin’ and Grease Is The Word.

Let’s go back in time and revisit some of these really unforgettable songs from the hit movie!

Summer Nights

You’re The One That I Want

Greased Lightning

We’re pretty certain that after listening to all those hits, you’re probably all greased up and ready to have a rocking good time!

Do you know?

The first London production of GREASE opened 6 months later after the show’s Broadway premiere in 1972 and the stage production was then followed by the 1978 hit movie starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, which went on to become the highest grossing movie-musical of all time. GREASE has since triumphed across the globe, with its irresistible mix of adolescent angst, vibrant physicality and 1950s pop culture.

Written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, GREASE is possibly the only hit Broadway musical ever composed entirely on guitar. The productions name comes from the term greasers, a 1950s United States working-class youth subculture. GREASE takes place in and around fictitious Rydell High, and follows ten working-class teenagers in 1959 as they experience the intricacies of love, friendship and rebellion. The story revolves around the relationship between “bad boy” Danny Zuko, who believes he is the coolest of cool and Sandy, the “girl next door”.

So dust off your leather jacket, pull on your bobby-socks, and take a trip to a simpler time as the MasterCard® Theatre is turned into Rydell High School! It will be a stage show that is truly not only ELECTRIFYING but MEMORABLE as well!

As a matter of fact, it will be a very good treat for all your older folks as they rekindle the old days!

DATE:
From 25 April 2014

Tuesday to Friday 8pm; Saturday 2pm & 8pm; and Sunday 1pm & 5.30pm
