Exit stage left, Serge Gainsbourg\u00a0\u2013 we\u2019ve fallen for four local music-makers who are breathing new life into captivating French melodies.<\/p>\n

Nothing beats having smooth, French, seductive vocals whisk you away into a time of romantic merriment on a December night in Singapore.<\/p>\n

Expect wicked harmonies and nifty choreography in Sing\u2019theatre\u2019s <\/i>A French Kiss in Singapore<\/i><\/a> <\/i>\u2013 truly a treat for the eyes (and ears)! Director\/choreographer George Chan, radio deejay Robin Goh and everyone\u2019s favourite funnyman Hossan Leong will entertain you with a repertoire of familiar tunes and haunting melodies from four of France\u2019s beloved music legends.<\/p>\n

We particularly adore the catchy \u201cBoomerang\u201d by Serge Gainsbourg, who gained notoriety in the \u201860s for a rather expressive (read: erotic) duet. Don\u2019t worry; you\u2019ll get a taste of that song\u2019s breathy gasps in a raunchy cabaret-style performance.<\/p>\n

For die-hard romantics, enjoy poignant songs about love and loss by Charles Trenet and Jacques Brel. Charles Aznavour\u2019s jingles on drinking and pretty shitty days<\/i> (that\u2019s the song title; we kid you not) will also leave you chuckling at the cast\u2019s antics. And their version of \u201cNe Me Quitte Pas\u201d (Don\u2019t Leave Me) will tug at your heartstrings \u2013 watch to find out just whose voice takes the limelight!<\/p>\n

A hot honey tip: don’t miss hunky Australian cast member Linden Furnell, who is the show\u2019s John Mayer guitar virtuoso. Exhibiting a brilliant turn as a demure Japanese maiden, this 24-year-old LASALLE graduate is quite the dark horse.<\/p>\n

At the heart of it all, A French Kiss<\/i> in Singapore<\/i><\/a> <\/i>is a no-frills showcase of timeless French classics with a dash of local flavour. Be bowled over by the songwriters\u2019 saucy exploits (with the likes of famed actresses Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin) and each song\u2019s colourful backstory. Francophiles, unite!<\/p>\n

A French Kiss in Singapore runs till Saturday, 7 December at SOTA Drama Theatre \u2013 only four days left to enjoy an explosively divine night of pleasing Parisian tunes. Ooh la la!<\/i><\/p>\n
