SHREK THE MUSICAL Was Farting-ly Awesome!

Hi Huneybees,

After so many months of anticipation, SHREK THE MUSICAL has finally opened this week at the Mastercard Theatres, Marina Bay Sands! The show was roaringly funny, brought me back to the days when Shrek first got introduced to our lives and I left the theatre still in awe over how beautifully the show was crafted and pieced together to make cartoon characters come to LIVE!

We've kinda already know the story from the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, where Shrek, an ogre comes to save the fiesty Princess Fiona from the fire-breathing Dragon protected tower, under the "enlisted" help of Lord Farquaad. He turns out to be her true love and breaks her free from her ogre curse. Just the usual fairytale...

I love that the script didn't deviate much from the original movie and even some of the jokes and puns were exactly the same, the whole jist of the movie is pretty much the same, except this was cartoon characters coming to us LIVE!

First thing that impressed me was the set background! Combining a 10m x 6m LED wall, moving sets with trees that go over 7m high and 60 scene changes, we are literally travelling and walking through forests with Shrek and Donkey on their quest to save Princess Fiona.

Next, is the powerhouse vocals. In particular Grace Leszymski as Dragon and Lindsay Estelle Dunn as Princess Fiona, with them belting their solo parts, they got the loudest claps from the audience and even standing ovation towards the end of the performance.

All in all SHREK THE MUSICAL is definitely the must-go for this school holidays. But probably due to a lack of cartoon-ness and upbeat songs, kids might not be able to stay awake throughout. We found the younger kids dozing off towards the second half of the show even though the green ogre was charming everyone else in the audience...

Be sure to catch the loveable fairy tale characters in SHREK THE MUSICAL this June holiday and check out this Meet Shrek & Princess Fiona Enchanted Tea Party package below for 17th June 2016! Other ticketing details are as follows:

Madagascar LIVE! Starts In Singapore With Never Before Screen Projection Sets

Hi Huneybees,

Yipee! It's official! Our favourite characters from Madagascar have landed safely in Singapore's Mastercard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands! Huney'Z World was there for a quick preview on what's to come and I got the opportunity to 'Move it, Move it' with these lovely friends!

This is the first time Madagascar LIVE! will be using projections on the stage to bring us from scene to scene and in between sets. And Yes! Singapore audiences will be the first in world to experience it before everybody else!

Here's a video performed by Alex the lion, Marty the zebra and the loveable Penguins to 2 of the showtunes. 

While we only caught a glimpse of the actual performance and were told that other characters were still trying to settle down and getting used to the Singapore's weather, I bet the Madagascar LIVE! will certainly entertain audiences of all ages and make a good entry introduction to theatre shows for the kids. 

Madgascar LIVE! is coming to Singapore 21st April 2016 and for more ticketing details, go to ---

Throw in a donkey that does not keep quiet, a villain with a short temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there’s one on hand and his name is Shrek."

SHREK THE MUSICAL features a book and lyrics by Pulitzer Prize® winner David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole, Good People), music by Olivier Award-winner Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie, Caroline, or Change). SHREK THE MUSICAL is choreographed by Chris Bailey and directed by Stephen Sposito who served as Associate Director of the Broadway revival How to Succeed in Business starring Daniel Radcliff.

The Penguins Of Madagascar Invasion @ Alive Museum Singapore!

Hi Huneybees,

"I like to move it move it, I like to move it move it, I like to move it move it, Ya like to MOVE IT!!!"

Come shake your bon-bons and bring your buddies to Alive Museum this Christmas as the Penguins of Madagascar take over the world's best 4D museum. 

My previous trip to the Alive Museum was a little too rush as it was the holiday period and crowds were making it difficult to get the right shots. So this time, I gathered my BFFs and we did a trip all over. We had a ball of a time rolling in with the super adorable Penguins.

This is the first-ever collaboration between DreamWorks Animation and Alive Museum to bring animated characters come to life, allowing fans to get upclose and personal with their favourite characters and get to be relive the movie scenes with them.

Go skydiving with the Penguins, play hide and seek at the manhole or enter the bubbling laboratory and fend of the scheming Dr. Brine and his tentacled henchmen. We brought along our little Christmas hats to share the festive joy with the Penguins and we had a ton of crazy fun snapping non-stop photos....

And on the topic of photos, be sure to share your photos with the Penguins of Madagascar on Instagram. Post and hashtag #alivemuseumsg and #penguinsalive to stand a chance to win a pair of tickets to catch the movie - Penguins of Madagascar! There are 5 pairs to be won every week till 31 Dec 2014. So get snapping!

You can also head on over to the green screen photography area to pose for a photo with the characters and print a 4R sized printout of it together in a magnetic frame for $15 or $20 for 2 copies. Alternatively, you can also add on a soft copy photo at $5. This is the very first time a 4D visual illusionary museum in Singapore has brought in green screen technology to enhance the interactivity of its exhibits.

Well, as you go around the museum, you will also find that the usual paintings have also added a Christmas vibe. Not only you can find Christmas decorations around, there's also Christmas hats added to the paintings, and with the removal of the doors around the maze, it is so much easier to get around the museum without having to hold back the queue. Well, like I said, come with your own props too to get fully immersed in the Christmas season...

Of course, I also took more photos with the rest of the paintings and it is so much fun having to repose and find a better angle. 

Also, a big thank you to my hubby for being our wonderful photographer for the day. MUAHZ!

So come on by Alive Museum for this lovely additions this festive season. Bring your friends and family along! The more the merrier!

Alive Museum is located at:

Suntec City #03-372 (Between Towers 3 and 4)
