Edges the Musical - 3rd to 19th April 2013, Drama Center Blackbox, National Library

Edges the Musical is now running from 3rd to 19th April 2013. Brought to you by Sightlines Productions , and directed by young emerging theatre director, Derrick Chew, Edges the Musical is an exciting new contemporary musical about four burgeoning young adults at the edge of their lives, confronting emotions, escaping expectations, and deciphering complicated relationships. 

While reading the press release from Edges, I raise both hands (and maybe my pair of legs) to agree that Edges gets the audiences, of all ages reflecting on their younger years - 
Where mistakes define who you became, love seemed to last forever, and reality hadn't hit yet.  
Very talented cast, songs were beautifully sang and harmonized perfectly.

Written by American Duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, Edges has been performed over 100 times across North America, Asia, Australia, Europe and Africa. In line with Derrick's vision of nurturing young actors, Edges' cast includes LASELLE's Musical Theatre graduates, Mina Kaye, Linden Furnell, and Kristy Griffin. Also in this cast is Benjamin Kheng, who's also one quarter of local indie band, The Sam Willows and voted as one of the faces to watch in 2013 by ST Life! .

Benjamin Kheng brings out the voices of many teenagers nowadays who seek to pursue their dreams out of this little red dot Singapore.

Was there to catch the production on Friday night. Enjoyed the show, nodding my head and clapping my hands towards the end of the musical. The lyrics was so close to our hearts, and the powerful vocal of the cast could lead the audiences through a roller coaster ride of emotions.



Edges the Musical - Be My Friend: The Facebook Song
Do you remember those days during the transition from the 'write-me-a-testimonial' friendster, till the 'Give-me-more-likes' Facebook? Please be my friend on facebook - how many friends on that list, are those whom you really knew?
... 'I don't accept friends with different political views', I could vividly remember some of my friends 'unfriend' each other because of this!

 The cast had so much chemistry together, Linden Furnell and Kristy Griffin especially displayed this in the scene above, their dance movement was well coordinated! Their facial expressions, was priceless.

 I hope you die! - Mina Kaye 
She has powerful vocal. Guess many ladies out there could connect themselves with this song, I hope my ex didn't curse me that bad!


Catch the reviews from many others, including Adrian Pang. 



Meet the producer for Edges the Musical, Sylvia Tan.

Ben & Jerry Free Cone Day is on 9th April 2013! Ben & Jerry #CaptureEuphoria Instagram Contest - I'm featured!

 
Recently some of my friends have spotted me in Bus Stop adverts and MRT posters, and some common questions were, 'Have you become a model?" , "Why are you there?" , "How come you are appearing everywhere?" I'm definitely not qualified to be model, with this kind of face. Haha... okay, so here I'm going to explain myself!

So I've recently took part in Ben and Jerry's #CaptureEuphoria Instagram contest, in which the public from all over the world are encouraged to submit photos of their fun and crazy moments through instagram, simply just by tagging their photos with the hashtag, #captureeuphoria.


'Play' the video to find out more!
So a total of 16,000 pictures were submitted all over the world throughout the 3 month campaign, and I was one of the 20 (or maybe 25) photos selected by Ben and Jerry to be featured in their advertising and marketing collaterals around the world!

Check out the official contest page and other featured photos:

So it all started out with this photo when I was in Jogjakarta for my business trip in December... and then I was informed in early Feb that I was one of the lucky ones!

 
Thursday,  21st March 2013, I started getting whatsapp msges, emails, facebook photo tags that my poster was found in Bishan Circle Line MRT! Caught me by surprise! Ben and Jerry didn't inform me earlier that it will be out so soon! Picture above was taken on Saturday, on my way home from town to 
Marymount MRT.


Just when I thought one poster at circle line was really damn good enough, I got another facebook tag by my cousin, and later some friends also whatsapp me that they saw my Bus Stop Ad in Hougang Ave 10! My kind friends told me was near Hougang Mall, so on Sunday, I went down to take a look!

Some fun shot. A uni friend of mine suggested that I should put on the same adidas tshirt and shades, and pose with my poster. Alright guys, I did it. Haha. I must admit there were some people staring at me, giving that ' Who exactly is this guy? ' look.


And then, got even more surprised , when my girlfriend told me she spotted me in Bugis Village Bus Stop too... and then along the week, I hear more from my other friends, Amara Hotel, Lavander Bus Stop, Queenstown ... haha. Ben and Jerry, really appreciate and thank you for that! 
If anyone bother to read this entry, if you happen to see my posters anywhere in Singapore, do let me know! Just hash tag #kevinskh and #captureeuphoria will do! Let me know the location so I can go and  hunt down my own pictures. Haha!
