"故事精彩丰富，互动性超强，老少咸宜，《了不起的狐狸爸爸》果真了不起!"
We watched Fantastic Mr Fox this morning and I have to say it's one of the most enjoyable shows we've watched so far. Even the hubby say it stands out from other shows and is refreshingly creative.
Fantastic Mr Fox, a classic tale by Roald Dahl, is an inspiring story about the brave and witty Mr Fox who, with the help of his family and friends, outsmarts three farmers’ nasty schemes in order to provide food for his animal friends. Did you know that the weasel is 黄鼠狼, mole is 鼹鼠 and badger is 獾 in Mandarin? Yup, we definitely learnt something new today. Watching Mandarin theatrical productions is such a good way for the kids to brush up on their mother tongue language too.
We thoroughly loved how the cast would interact with the audience (they even walked around before it started, asked if we've eaten and gave the kids high fives) throughout the show, how they would switch effortlessly into their different roles, how they were so natural at cracking jokes and making us laugh as they retold this classic story about kinship and friendship.
Asher seldom tells me that he loves shows but this time round, he said he did, especially at the part where he had to 挖呀挖呀挖 and pretend to dig with the cast. The girls were reminded that a family sticks together through hardship and that in the face of tough obstacles, you never give up. That is so important, right?
The show runs till 13 Sept so do get your tickets @sisticsingapore if you have not. Thanks to @srt_thelittlecompany for this totally fabulous Mandarin production!
