The Love of My Life Since I Was Ten.

Laura Fygi is coming to take part in a Singapore production in November!!!!


She'll be in the musical comedy Victor/Victoria, starring as the lead Victoria Grant- "A woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman".

The show opens with how Victoria is struggling with food and rent and is even resorting to put bugs in her meals at cafes to get a free meal. With a twist of fate, after standing up for her gay friend to his gay boyfriend, they were inspired by her masculine side and decided to market her off as a man pretending to be a woman. Thus, her singing career is born.

It all got a bit complicated from this point on, seeing as how this plot is so inspired by Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.
(Remember Viola/Cesario posing as a messenger boy to Lady Olivia and having her falling in love with her 'messenger boy'? and how her 'messenger' boy falls in love with Duke Orsino who's apparently in love with Lady Olivia? Arhh..Shakespeare as we know it. All those dramatized tragedies in love and so much mistaken identity. Sigh.)

Okay..enough diversion. Back to the topic at hand. Victoria then captured the attention of a local gangster boss, King and sparked off King's jealous girlfriend, Norma. You can already see what's coming..but there's more to the plot than this.

A wing man of King's confessed that he's gay and has fallen in love with Victor and ensured more hysterical confusion from there. The jealous girlfriend and a shady nightclub boss tried to break up King and Victor. King got frustrated at thinking that he may be gay after all. After all, he's the gangster boss and he's certainly not supposed to be a wimpy gay. More fighting, singing and even a bloody boxing match later, with a perfect ending ( no spoilers here.), you see now why I'm in love with this play?

This is all thanks to Zebra Crossing Production, who had kindly brought us(Singapore) other notable plays such as

The Vagina Monologues

What the Butler Saw

Anyway, I am just so psyched that they managed to convince Laura Fygi to come down to Singapore to take part in this production. I fell in love with her music when I first inserted her cd into the player without even knowing who she was or what genre of music it was and it felt like magic when her voice started purring "Stars shining bright above you, night breezes seemed to whisper I love you.." to Dream a Little Dream. Even though I had heard that song sang before by various artists, it's different with Laura. She has soul.

And that's why I'm begging my parents now to let me use their OCBC credit card to purchase the advance tickets to her show in November.
