Romeo and Juliet: Singapore Dance Theatre kickstarted 2014 season in style

First time catching Goh Choo San's Romeo and Juliet, performed by the Singapore Dance Theatre. Kenya Nakamura and Chihiro Uchida had good chemistry in the title roles and they were convincing as the star-crossed lovers. The company had better energy at this performance compared to last year's The Nutcracker.  Goh Choo San's choreography allowed the key characters to have their moments, but certain segments, in particular the crowd scenes, may be too long. The total length of close to 3 hours could be taxing for a modern audience.  The productions standards were good, though for some scenes where the stage was bare, the lighting could have dimmed the background slightly.

An enjoyable evening, and a good start of SDT's 2014 season.
