Synopsis : Set in Ipoh in the 1950's, the story takes off as Ming, the protagonist, seeks to chart his own destiny, while his father, Wong, has his own ideas for his son.

Wong is the quintessential Chinese towkay, to the extent of arranging his son's marriage. Ming's best friend and neighbour, Leong, plays the obedient son. The stark contrast in these two characters begs the question: 'So what's wrong with the old ways?', and on the other hand, 'So what's wrong with the new ways?' With a persuasive cousin from the big city, Ringo, appearing on the scene, Ming finally decides to go against his father's wishes and leaves for Kuala Lumpur.

10 years later, Ming returns as a successful contractor, whose project is to tear down the marketplace and erect a new building in its place. Problems occur however - an unhappy relationship with the beautiful head-strong and self-opinionated Mei Ling; construction problems; promised sums of compensation never arriving... the townsfolk soon become troubled and angry.

Will the prevalent father-son issues with Wong ever be resolved? And what of Ming's relationship with Mei Ling? How will Ming wing it?

Broken Bridges is a big musical with an even bigger story; wonderful charm, humour and drama.

Starring Douglas Lim, Colin Kirton, Ho Soon Yoon, Joanne Kam Poh Poh, Tony Eusoff, Monti and more, with an estimated 15 chorus members playing multiple roles. There are 24 musical numbers, inclusive of reprises.

Written by Lim Chuang Yik and Teng Ky-Gan, with musical direction by James Boyle and choreography by Pat Chan. Directed by Joe Hasham and presented by KLPac.
