I don't care if it is one of the world's most well-known musical and I am sure most Singaporean don't either. The musical, "The Phantom of the Opera", has returned to Singapore for the second time and will premiere at the Esplanade Theatre.
I have to ask, "Why?" I mean who cares for Phantom of the Opera? The show has been going on for what 20 years already, do we ready need to see it? Most Singaporeans already don't care for theatre, and I am pretty certain inviting second-hand shows (even world-class ones) will not help the matter. If Singapore is become an Arts hub (we love being hubs, don't we?), we need to promote Singapore arts, not invite second-hand shows to our shores!
