Musical Taru is a localised adaption of a Korean box-office hit and award-winning musical. This Mandarin production with English subtitles features life-sized dinosaur skeletons which includes a 2.5-metre tall T-Rex fossil, lots of catchy soundtracks as well as a star-studded principal cast.

The show started with the siblings Nali and Gao Feng and their friend Da Fa visiting the museum, wanting to be curators. They spent the day at the museum exploring the different exhibits such as the egyptian mummy and queen, primitives, maritime expedition of Zheng He and various fossils of dinosaurs. As night falls and it was time to return home, Gao Feng realised that he has forgotten to take a photo of himself at the museum for his assignment, the three of them went back to the museum again only to find out that the fossil of a baby T-Rex called Taru has been stolen. The exhibits in the museum came alive as it's full moon that night and together with the three main casts, they forged a friendship with the same mission to save Taru from being separated with his mother, Tila.
The most interesting part of this musical was that the life-sized dinosaur puppets was actually made of 'bones' to make them look realistic and with human controlling the movement like those doing Lion Dances. As much as I enjoyed watching musicals, I find the plot for Musical Taru a bit too draggy, however, the casts did a fantastic job with the songs and dances which kept me going. There were quite a few laughing points, one of which was how the mummy got it's name as James Bond 詹姆士绷带. The adventure even featured our local landmarks like the Bukit Timah Hill.
This is the second complimentary musical invites that I received from RWS Invites and I had fabulous time enjoying the musical.
Thank you RWS Invites
