Last Sat, SengkangBabies went searching for the LIGHT at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS). We were invited to RWS’s latest Musical “LightSeeker“.
An original production of RWS, the LightSeeker tells a riveting story of the power of choice when stuck at the crossroads of fear versus freedom.
Quoting the synopsis from RWS :
In this fantastic and magical world, a terrifying warrior called the General pursues a precious energy that will make his ominous Emperor more powerful. His quest leads him to Nova, an enigmatic girl, who seems to have the ability to create The Light.
A battle for The Light ensues and he captures Nova, and tries to force her to conjure up The Light. He soon discovers that not only is he unable to control her, her presence calls into question the only world he has ever known. He must make the ultimate choice – be secure in the dark world he knows, or embrace a new world with The Light.
To make it simple, kids just need to know who are the bad guys (Emperor, General and the Sorceress), and the good chaps (Nova and basically everyone else). Everytime the General arrives on the scene, we can expect battles and sometimes, pyrotechnics !
Lead by stars from London’s West End and melodies written by Dick Lee, the musical leads us into a Fantasy world.
The audience is captivated by the stage setup, elaborate costumes and powerful song ensembles. And the kids will be amazed at the acrobatics stunts from the performers.
Those seating near the front will get an extra dose of adrenalin when the performers swing in your direction !
It takes a lot of strength to display such finesse fluid moves.
The cast make the loops and somersaults looked so effortless!
Unlike other musicals, Lightseeker’s backdrop is equally spectacular.
The CGI, the Emperor and other special effects, all come together to heighten the audience experience.
Nova’s home, full of lighting effects (pun intended).
Love the thrilling trampoline jumps! Top down left right, bouncing everywhere.

What better way to appreciate the musical efforts, then to go for a backstage walk.
No details are too small and every prop is crucial.
We caught up with the Imps “Jye and Min” (real name Andy and Joshua) who shared with us some of their challenges.
Being a musical artist is no easy job, just imagine the amount of lyrics and scripts which one needs to remember!
With so much actions going on, everyone needs to be in tip top condition.
Backstage B3, B4. Eye opening for everyone.
We found Usha’s red wig and the General’s armour too! Every piece of crafted item can be considered limited edition.
Boys are impressed with General’s wardrobe. Fierce !
Kids, are you happy with the Musical?
Thank you RWS for the enchanting invite, we enjoyed our own LightSeeker adventure.
At the same time, kids learn a story about Good versus Bad.
But, why do the boys still prefer the Bad character “General”?
Daddy suspects his apparels are too cool.
