Set in Singapore in the mid-Sixties, Beauty World is a musical melodrama about the adventures of Ivy Chan Poh Choo, a small town girl in the big city.

A mysterious jade pendant brings her from her hometown in Batu Pahat to Beauty World, a fabulous if somewhat seamy 1960s Singapore nightclub, where she hopes to locate her long lost-father.

In her adventures, she meets up with her dotty pen-pal, gets a extreme make-over for her stage debut, crosses the path of the cabaret’s vindictive star, and learns some heartbreaking truths about love and life.

The last production of Beauty World I watched was the one on TV for the President Star Charity. I thought Sharon Au was a hard act to follow... and the new cast was practically unknown... BUT was I wrong!! The performance was flawless!! The leads in the new production was absolutely fantastic. Irene "Mrs PCK" Ang was hilarious as Wan Choo....

This has got to be one of the best local musical I was seen. If the tickets weren't so damn expensive, i'll probably catch it one more time...
