KIT CHAN SPELLBOUND CONCERT 2015
This Singapore gig kicks off local singer Kit Chan's first ever regional concert tour and she wants to leave you spellbound. The focus is on her vocals rather than on over-the-top staging and the performance will be, as she puts it, in the "minimalist dramatic style". Apart from hits such as Heartache, Worry and Liking You, you can probably count on her to also deliver Home, a National Day song that is now her signature tune.
Where: The Star Theatre MRT: Buona Vista When: Today & tomorrow, 8pm Admission: $58 - $178 from Sistic
