(Performed at the Drama Centre from May 30 – Jun 3, 2000)

Singapore’s first locally written, full-length musical featuring puppets and humans, “THE MAGIC PAINTBRUSH”, was a wonderful piece of children theatre.

"The show stealer will definitely be the 30 puppets created by Singaporean Frankie Yeo. The latex, foam and wood figures are touted to be absolutely stunning, and have been drawn comparisons to Jim Henson's Muppets." - The Straits Times, 30 May 2000

"... Singapore's first professional puppet makers. They ranged from the small and cute to the large and grotesque, and were beautifully crafted. From small cuddly flowers and chickens, to a towering spectre called the Spirit of Creation, to various Chinese villagers, these puppets filled the production with infectious fun and hilarious energy with their comic antics and lovable personas." - Magazine review, 1 June 2000
