This spring, popular Hong Kong play “I Have a Date With Spring” will be back on stage with a new cast.
Originally written by Raymond To and debuting in Hong Kong in 1992, the play centers on four female singers at a Hong Kong nightclub in the 1960-70s. The four girls, Butterfly Yiu, Lulu Kim, Nancy Hong and Lam Fung-ping, meet at a singing competition organized by the Flower Palace Nightclub and remain lifelong friends even as their musical careers and roads to stardom diverge from each other.
With exquisite story-telling, catchy 1960s Hong Kong and English tunes and gorgeous costumes, “I Have a Date With Spring” is a popular favorite. Later, the play was adapted into a film in 1994 and a TV series in 1995.
The new stage version features Hong Kong TV actresses Tavia Yeung and Joey Meng and actor Jackie Lui. Meng starred in the 1995 TV series as singer Lam and she will still play this tragic role in the 2017 drama.
