After four shows from 25th to 27th December 2020, we finally completed our run of the mrbrown show LIVE! and it was an awesome run. Four shows at KC Arts Centre, all sold out or almost sold out, and a livestream on the last show that had a nice number of viewers too.
We are exhausted but satisfied.
After all the months of hard work, it was a thrill to see the fruits of our labour. I have to thank SIFA, the crew, the band, Marc, Miyagi, producer/director/arranger James Lye, and my family for all this. Also all the family, friends and fans who came to see the show.
Special thanks to Adwin & SK of Audio-Technica SEA for the use of their mics, Pantheon Percussion for the custom-built drums, Whitney and Aeson of Salon De Maison who styled my entire family's hair for every show, and Mr Koh of Pearl's VisionCare at City Gate for my glasses (and Midas's).
Here are some photos from the rehearsals and shows, some by me, some by Daniel Tan (IG: @shredcow).

When the show ended on Sunday evening, the family and I grabbed a taxi home in the heavy rain, I rushed to settle dinner for the family with help from Isaac. No time for celebrations, because family duties await. There was laundry to be done (so many costumes to wash) and Faith was waiting for dinner at home with Auntie.
Me? I just wanted to sleep for the entire Monday after the last show.
