Theatre of mix-up and mayhem
Life, Alongkorn Parivudhiphongs, Published on 07/07/2023
» A revival can be a boon or a bane, but one can't predict whether the show can recreate the same magic with a new audience as it first did when staged decades ago. Fortunately, this is not the case for Dreambox's Oonlamaan Lung Baan Saithong (Chaos Behind The Golden Sand Mansion), which recently made a comeback after 18 years. The audience, who partook in its opening night last Friday to celebrate its 100th show, left the venue with beaming smiles.

Curtains for Chinese opera?
Life, Thana Boonlert, Published on 27/02/2023
» "Hurry up," shouted a crew member who climbed up onto a makeshift stage. Casting sidelong glances, performers, half-clad, looked in the mirror and concentrated on applying layers of make-up. Nearby, a motley bunch of musicians and technicians double-checked their instruments.

A Return To Form
B Magazine, Published on 09/09/2018
» There is an oft-recounted anecdote that tells the story of how B5 came to be B5. Basically, each of the group's members -- Suwira "Q" Boonrod, Mariam Grey, Saksit "Tor" Vejsupaporn, Chalatit "Ben" Tantiwut and Uthai "Cake" Poonyamund -- was slated to pursue a solo career as part of Bakery Music's new crop of artists. But that was before they shared the stage for Boyd Kosiyabong's Million Ways To Love: Part I concert, subsequently leading fans to believe that they were an actual, single-unit group. The label, apparently subscribing to the "there's no such thing as bad publicity" ethos, decided to market them as a quintet called B5.
