On May 14,
GenYes managed to have a sit down interview session with the main trio behind My Life is Like a Broadway Musical:
- Ms. Gabbie Ngoh, projected leader, writer and director. Lecturer at KDU’s School of Communication and Creative Arts.
- Shery Chong Sher Yean, playing the female lead Catherine. First year Entertainment Arts student at KDU.
- Shelty, playing main antagonist Gina. Student at KDU and aspiring dancer.
This marks part the first part of the interview, focused on the lead actress Shery as she undertakes her first acting role as Catherine, the leading lady in KDU’s first ever public theatre production,
My Life is Like Broadway Musicals.
How was it like to act in this musical as Catherine?
Shery: It’s different. Shery and Catherine are different people.
Catherine is soft and innocent…Shery is innocent, but not soft. So, it’s
fun. Acting, you get to do things you won’t do in normal life. For
example, in musical, you can talk, act, then suddenly you sing. But if
you do it, in reality, people will think you’re a crazy person. Like
murdering, kidnapping, all of these things you can only do it in acting.
