December Rains is a love story, that kind of love that invites endless joy and perpetual pain. It is 1950s Singapore. The innocent relationship of a pair of young lovers is convoluted by strikes organized by Chinese students, a marriage of convenience and strong parental disapproval. The symphony of pain resonates to a third party who is waiting desperately in vain for his unrequited love. In 1980s, past grievances and mistakes are contagiously wounding the younger generation. Only a personal sacrifice and the surfacing of an undelivered love letter would resolve all these entanglements. However, no one knows when the rain will depart in December.
Being someone who enjoy muscial or play, I actually booked tickets when it was released and was so looking forward to it. Though we were in the muscial with a group of teenager from some organisation or school and at times, they were making quite some noises, I still enjoyed myself very much. As compared to the If there were seasons, December rain is a sad love story but the cast is superb in their performance and singing capabilities esp the lead actress - Kit Chan. Her voice was powerful and potray the role really well. Not forgeting the 2 main leads who were also the lead for If there were seasons. I will definetly consider play/musical where they will be involved.
So if you have the time, you should really go and experience the power of muscial.
End note: I even bought the CD for this musical....that's how much I enjoy myself. hee.
