香港小生王陈楚蕙经典潮剧表演晚会
看到海报真兴奋，陈楚蕙就要和大家见面了，由于演出时间只有短短的几天，不知能够看几场戏。 期待

During Lunar New Year, many Chinese would like to paste the lucky word '福' upside down at some prominent parts of their house. In Chinese, it is '福到' and means luck has arrived. I can think of one Teochew opera which associates with the word '福'. This show is called 三家福. I understand that 陈楚蕙 will be performing segments of 三家福 in JB in Apr 2007.

Tan Chor Hwee will be back on stage again. However, the stage performance will take place in JB instead of Singapore. According to a newspaper article, 陈楚蕙 will be pairing up with 沈惠贞 of China this time.

There will be no new surprises in the series of performance as she will be putting up 三看御妹刘金定, 红鬃烈马, 一门三进士, 宋弘拒婚 etc. The only performance which she rarely put up in recent years is 三家福.

 

I am not sure if I could spare the time to cross the causeway and watch her performance. My favourite show, 一门三进士 has been scheduled on two week days. Sigh.

早期接触的潮剧演出，一般都是由女演员扮男生演小生，印象深刻当然是香港潮剧小生王陈楚蕙。她的小生装扮为妙为俏，风流潇洒，声线够粗，演绎起来十足像个男演员。

刚从新山的中华公会回来。在那儿的黄树芬礼堂，看完由香港楚蕙潮剧团与中国诏安潮剧团所联合演出的潮剧。这此虽然上演的都是一些旧戏，但它们都是百看不厌的好戏。而较新的剧目如《楚宫恨》，更是令人留下难忘的回忆。这此的服装都以刺绣为主，很少会看见绣上亮片的戏服。两团的演员个个都进步不少，尤其是惠贞，无论任何剧种，她似乎都能胜任。这此蕙姨也很卖力，流了不少的眼泪，打动了全场的观众，在《名将忠魂》里还挥大旗！她也不小了，这样翻来覆去，真教我们这一班楚蕙迷，替她捏一把冷汗。

这一回，张应炎也有参与《红鬃烈马》与《一门三进士》的演出。每当剧目圆满收场时，我想我们能给台上粉墨登场的演员们的，就是不间断的掌声与欢呼。虽然潮剧已没有六、七十年代这么受欢迎，但是从这此蕙姨的演出看来，潮剧是绝对不会在半个世纪后荡然无存的。看了许多剧团的演出，还是比较喜欢香港的演出与音乐的处理方式。有人会说香港的版本是错的，但是我就是喜欢它错得感人肺腑，错得受欢迎，错得让人无法忘怀，错得想让人一看再看，错得领观众觉得值回票价。既然错得有这么多正面的回响，何不说它是对的，因为我喜欢

Was really busy over the past few months that I didn’t even blog about 陈楚蕙! Thus, I will just let the pictures do the blogging.

Met many familiar faces, including Thomas and his family. Glad that Susie and Edmund had enjoyed the show. This was also the first time my mum got to take the seat in the first row. She’s really ecstatic.

Finally, I got to meet Terence, another Teochew Opera fanatic! And he’s younger than me… Muhahaha, there is still many youngsters out there who appreciate Teochew Opera

蕙姨饰演的高珍得知真相时的演出，实在是令人赞叹不已，观众应该是看得目瞪口呆吧。新天彩的锣鼓总是打得超级紧凑，台上的演员把人物刻划得那么传神，真是好戏不厌百回听。听完后，我又看VCD，可是这
