Glowtape Productions presents The Great Wall: One Woman’s Journey from 14 – 30 July at the Drama Centre Theatre.
The Great Wall: One Woman’s Journey is a spectacular musical adaptation that transforms Meng Jiang Nü’s tale into a soaring musical odyssey. Raw emotions are laid bare in a dazzling display of vocal showmanship as the characters come to life in a beautiful contemporary setting detailed with traditional design influences.
Captivating and profoundly moving, this production weaves a gripping tale of love and courage against an epic backdrop of imperial China. In the face of insurmountable odds, a young everywoman does not yield to her fate. What unfolds is a passionate display of a woman’s resolve as she stands alone against the ultimate symbol of unbridled hubris and power.
Join the phenomenal Na-Young Jeon’s Singapore debut, multi-talented George Chan and homegrown singing sensation Nathan Hartono as they team up this July for The Great Wall: One Woman’s Journey.
No wall too tall.
No journey too long.
The legend of Meng Jiang Nü.
Behind the imposing façade of The Great Wall lies one of the most enduring legends in Chinese folklore – the story of Meng Jiang Nü, whose tears brought down the Great Wall.
This original musical with brand new script by acclaimed Singaporean playwright Jean Tay, who won best original script for Everything But The Brain and authored Boom, both literature texts in schools, is led by an international team of artists – featuring composer David Shrubsole (National Gallery Singapore’s Opening Festival, London Road) from the UK, helmed by Australian director Darren Yap (Man of Letters, Miss Saigon, Mamma Mia!), and starring talents from the West End – Dutch-Korean actress Na-Young Jeon (Les Misérables, Miss Saigon) and Monique Wilson (Miss Saigon, The King & I), along with George Chan (Chicago, December Rains) and homegrown singer-songwriter Nathan Hartono, fresh from his stint on Sing! China.

I LOVE Play!! Play shares the pain and torture. Play develops love over time, brings joy to everyone and makes an angry man put down his fist.
Play brings a smile to the lips on contact, leaving despair and negative feelings behind. Play is a true friend, a BFF, a intimate lover.
Play warms and comforts and sympathizes. Simply put, it is heaven! I love Play!!

My family attended the show on 26 July. We thought we were watching the acclaimed Korean actress singing the role of Meng Jiang Nu.
The lead role was actually sung by Ethel Yap. No regrets. She had a lovely, sweet and crystal clear soprano voice which she unleashed with surprising dramatic and intense power in the moving rendition of last great song. Mesmerising and like the Chinese saying, the beauty of the sound continues to resonate in the rafters for 3 days and nights. Congrats! She carried the musical through the journey magnificently. Proud that a local talent
We were particularly enthralled by the ingenious and magical use of lighting, artistically hanging poles, the versatile planks, white sheets, and blue flags in a surreal and viscerally wrenching choreography that suggests the ardour and hardships of struggling and clawing through dangerous forests, raging waters, precarious bridges and mountain passes, clumps of falling snow etc.
I can’t comment too copiously in this short writeup though a lot of things deserved more than creditable mention. We enjoyed the musical and noted that it succeeds beyond its limitations.
We look forward to a grander presentation that it deserves; perhaps the orchestration could weave in some authentic Chinese instrumental …among other improvements.
