About this deal

I would cradle my Sony Discman and privately blare the opening number of Miss Saigon. I’d sit patiently through the cacophony –“The heat is on in Saigon / The girls are hotter than hell / One of these slits here will be Miss Saigon”– waiting for Kim’s entrance. I’d mouth silently along with Lea Solonga, “I’m 17 and I’m new here today / The village I come from seems so far away”.

With a script adapted by Gail Rastorfer and Kurt Johns, music by Cecilia Lin and lyrics by Jessica Wu, this show is highly anticipated – especially as it comes from the producers of Six, one of the most successful fringe shows. However, the show doesn’t feel fully realised at the moment. The concept of vengeance upon those who do Fiona wrong is a somewhat appealing one, and the way school bullies are dealt with has more than a whiff of Heathers the Musical about it. I’m not sure, however, that it’s really as feminist as it might initially come across at surface level – how much would have been achieved without the outdated outlook of Fiona’s father and the determined will on Sean’s part to take the law into his own hands? At least the dark humour comes across loud and clear thanks to an energetic cast. The show begins with the line “This all started with my hymen”, Fiona has not had sex before, and goes to the doctor who suggests she may be asexual. Which is subsequently never mentioned again, something which warranted further exploration.So would SIX producer Alchemation strike gold twice with a musical treatment of Angela S Choi’s Hello Kitty Must Die, her bestselling satirical novel about Western perceptions of Asian femininity? Jewelpet ( ジュエルペット, Juerupetto) are a group of animal characters created in 2008 as a joint-venture between Sanrio and Sega Toys. There are 39 characters in the franchise and each of the animals are named after famous birthstones, minerals, and jewels. They each have a different kind of sparkling jewel for their eyes, used for casting special magic called "Jewel Flash". They belong to magicians and live in a mystical place called Jewel Land, attend a school to learn more about magic, and each of them are paired with their own human partners. The main Jewelpets in the series are Ruby the white Japanese Hare (whose birthday is on July 29), Sapphie the blue and yellow Cavalier King Charles spaniel (whose birthday is on September 1), Garnet the pink Persian Cat (whose birthday is on January 8), and Labra the pink and white polar bear (whose birthday is on December 27). Hello Kitty Must Die is a new musical from Alchemation based on the best-selling novel by Angela S Choi. It is a show written by an Asian American woman, about Asian American women and to be performed by Asian American women. Keroppi ( はすの上 けろっぴ, Hasunoue Keroppi) (also known as Kerokerokeroppi) is a frog character with large eyes and a V-shaped mouth. Keroppi loves adventure, and his bubbly personality makes him popular around Donut Pond. He has a brother called Koroppi and a sister called Pikki. Most often he is seen with his little snail friend Den Den, always tagging along a little behind. Keroppi is a fantastic swimmer and singer (but not at the same time).

The show centres around a nearly 30-year-old, Chinese-American lawyer, Fiona Yu (Sami Ma). Although she lives in a Western country, she’s held to the cultural traditions of marriage by her family. But she doesn’t wish to be like Hello Kitty, who embodies many of the stereotypes of Asian women; she wants to be independent and buy her own Jimmy Choos. She reconnects with childhood friend Sean, learns his dark secrets and soon bodies are piling up behind the duo. Fiona is a 29-year-old lawyer and when she discovers that there is no blood on her dildo, she seeks a plastic surgeon for reconstruction. The doctor she meets turns out to be Sean, an old school friend who was sent to juvenile detention due to some worrying behaviour in his teens. Now an allegedly reformed character, he reconnects with Fiona but people that they encounter keep turning up dead and Fiona starts to get suspicious.Mimmy White is Hello Kitty's cute twin sister and playmate. Mimmy wears a yellow bow on her right ear while Kitty wears a red bow on her left and is also mouthless like her sister. Mimmy seems to have a slightly less outgoing, but more polite and thoughtful personality than Kitty does, and they seem to highly enjoy each other's company. Anyone would describe Mimmy as shy and very girly. Mimmy's hobbies include sewing and dreaming of marriage. As a lyricist, I’ve never been prouder. It’s music I never got to sing, and the show I never got to do as a performer.
