The theatre was filled with children... lots of them... yes, it has been publicised as a show suitable and well-liked by children. Oh yes, so much so to the extent I realise the father and 3 children group did not return after the break... most probably because of the young child who left halfway even before the intermission.
It was mentioned (somewhere in the brochure) that the scale of the props is comparable with those of the Phantom of the Opera. Yes, I'm familiar with what Phantom of the Opera offers... Hm... 2 things that I thought amazing in CCBB - the car and also the flying toilet!
After watching the entire show, still find the storyline vague.
- It started off with the lady (don't know from where) who's motor-vehicle broke down and met the pair of twins in the garage.
- Then don't know for what reasons, she looked for them and met their dad.
- She happened to be the sweet factory owner's daughter.
- The father of the twins, who happened to be the inventor, brought his newly invented flute-like sweet to market to the sweet factory owner.
- The lady successfully persuaded her dad to try, and later the latter accepted the product.... etc...
- Then there are these 2 guys who work for the state called "Vulgarian" (I think...)
- The head of the state heard about the car that floated and wanted a similar vehicle made.
- The granddad of the twins were mistaken to be the inventor and got 'kidnapped'.
- In this land, there lived the child-catcher...
On the whole, the storyline is not strong. Personally, I felt it was no where near the Les Miserable or the Phantom of the Opera... Hm... probably had not put on the "right hat" before entering the theatre?
Nevertheless, must acknowledge that the car is amazing! It can float, it can fly! The effect was good :D
Other than that, I don't see any good reasons to watch the show!
