Review of The Making of School House Rockz by Steven Ang

When my good friend Iris told me about the upcoming Kids Central musical School House Rocks, I made it a point to tune in, just because its sounds so interesting: Singapore's first made-for-TV musical, starring some of the most talented kids in Singapore. Indeed with over 500 kids to choose from in auditions, I'm sure everyone involved must be pretty good!

From the special making of episode today, it definitely promises to be a great show! Its so fun to see so many people I know on TV, including Iris and all the talented students of Athenarts Performing Troupe. Congrats to Inka for nailing the female lead, don't forget us when you become a star!

Then there is Shawn, already a star as the winner of Project Superstar 2. I was rather impressed with his performances on Superstar, such a strong voice at such a young age! His many fans will surely tune in to see him sing and dance every eek.

Here's a quick summary of the story: Inka, a former student of an elite school, is forced to transfer to a neighourhood school due to poor results. She has a hard time adjusting to the new environment as she had a perception that students of neighbourhood schools are beneath her. There she meets a cast of characters including school bully Krish, friendly yet wacky girl Dawn, and the nerdy, money-minded Wen Bin. Then there are her former classmates Ros and Amni, snobs that are sure to provide lots of laughs!

Watching the many clips of the show, I'm already impressed by the snazzy dance moves, catchy songs and good singing voices. Can't wait for the actual show to start; good luck to everyone involved, I'm sure it'll be great!
