Dream Academy Presents Meenah and Cheenah!
Two of Singapore’s funniest ladies, Siti Khalijah & Judee Tan, will tear the Victoria Theatre house down with their criss cross multi cultural teh tarik gong cha champalang nonsense.
Watch them rock the house as a pair of secondary-school delinquents on their first budget airline trip out of Singapore, patting every seat before they sit down and always ready to say ‘the one at home nicer’. Witness them compare their NS boyfriends – one in the navy and the other in Civil Defence – and then see them as those very boyfriends.
