Swinging | Sir Paul McCartney Of The Beatles Green (Tria, Left) Gets Guidance
July 21, 2010 – 1:10 am
Its six-woman cast comprised Ning, Tria Aziz (Broadway Parodies Lah! and Adam The Musical), Tisha Zarina Zainal (Ismail – The Last Days), Nikki Palikat (Malaysian Idol 1), Shanel Shanty James (Audition) and Joanna Bessey (directed Wacky Bar) with Stephanie Driesen as the narrator. It featured 22 songs that captured the essence of ’60s women in pop – Dame Shirley Bassey, Petula Clark, Dusty Springfield, Sandie Shaw, Lulu (Marie McDonald), Nancy Sinatra, Mary Hopkin and Cilla Black. The tale in SHOUT! centres on five fashion-loving women who live in London.
They are the happily married Orange Girl (Ning), the poised and brand-conscious Blue Girl (Tisha), the boy-crazy Green Girl (Tria), the Paul McCartney-obsessed Yellow Girl (Nikki) and the gawky, nervy Red Girl (Shanel). While each girl is in-and-out of love at different times, the five are madly in love with the hottest fashion and lifestyle magazine of the period, Shout! which they deem a liberator. SHOUT! which front-pages the icons of the decade such as Sir Sean Connery, The Beatles and model Twiggy (Lesley Horn
As the decade sees swift changes of lifestyles and attitudes, it affects the lives of the five girls, for better or worse. Orange learns that married life is not necessarily the “happily ever after” of Holmes, Green learns that “boy toying” is not good for health, while Blue discovers that being a non-conformist has its rewards. Yellow, who picks up the comb of McCartney at a Beatles concert, finds comfort in his likeness, while Red sheds her gawky ways to look hot enough for the ’70s. The five girls had complete vocal harmony and clearly enjoyed themselves on the set.
