I love the songs in this! And its funny too!But I don't get why they got John Travolta as the mum...
ReplyDeletethey chose john as the 1st actor becoz of his good performance in "Grease" ~ but later on when all the characters are set up, there's none of them suits john...
ReplyDeletethen the clever director ask john to drag for the show~ :) its ok la, since travolta is gay anyway~
