[Opening Night] Dein Perry’s TAP DOGS
Australia’s most successful theatrical export, Dein Perry’s TAP DOGS performs at the MasterCard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands for a strictly limited season from 27 May to 1 June for eight performances only!
The
global dance sensation has performed in over 330 cities across six continents
and has been seen by over 12 million people. Dein Perry’s TAP DOGS continues
to take the world by storm! Now it’s Singapore’s turn to experience the
award-winning show.
Dein
Perry’s TAP DOGS is an 80-minute show combining the
strength and power of workers with the precision and talent of tap dancing. A
worldwide television audience of over 3.4 billion saw 1,000 Tap Dogs performers
performing in the Opening Ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
All thanks to Base Entertainment Asia, I got my seats secured for one of Australia’s most successful theatrical exports, Dein Perry’s TAP DOGS. I
was given a pair of STALL-SEAT tickets, and we were pretty looking forward to the surprises that TAP DOGS had prepared for us. I was thankful for my seats as
water was splashed all over the stage and the front-seated audience towards the
end of the show.
Upon
entering the theatre, we were greeted by a backdrop of a foot-print. The show
features high-energy dance numbers, theatrical performances and live music
performed by the cast and musicians, who bring an imaginary steel works to life
in a fast-paced, unstoppable spectacular.
Whether
they are in water, upside-down or jumping through scaffoldings, Dein Perry’s
TAP DOGS have been performing to the beat of their own drum since their
world premiere at the Sydney Theatre Festival in January 1995.
The
80-minutes adrenaline rush performance without intermission creates several
scenes, and I love the basketball segment very much.
There
was no narrative and no characters being recognized but each dancer bore a different
personality which was slowly revealed to the audience as the show continued... Although
the beginning of the performance was rather slow and boring but it picked it up
well towards halfway mark and I personally enjoyed the last segment which included
water, as it is pretty hilarious.
Dein Perry’s TAP DOGS is a show not to be missed
this weekend as it combines high energy dance, theatrical performance and live music. Dein Perry’s TAP DOGS is the perfect show for all ages.
