An excellent libretto with wonderful and talented superb cast, well-earned painstaking plot, beautiful costumes and songs......etc! Say no more, a Huangmei opera no one should miss! Bravo!
Yen Chun acted and directed brilliantly. Lili Wah and Ivy Ling Po's roles as mother and son radiated energy and enthusiasm and gave me heartfelt sadness and tears. Again, Ling Po was so passionate with her portrayal that ultimately she had stolen the show in the end. She acted her part extremely well as a very handsome, cute, naive, lost prince of Lili Wah. I have seen it 3 times and will definitely watch it again and again in future.:)
