вЂњI hope this drama opens the audienceвЂ™s eyes to wayang. Lau shares the same sentiments as Shen with regard to Chinese opera increasingly disappearing for our generation. Lending additional star power to the production is Crazy Rich Asians actress, Constance Lau, who plays Ah ChiamвЂ™s arch rival, Ah Ngor, who will use all means to beat her. I took it up because I wanted to revive the dying art,вЂќ said Shen, who grew up with street opera and inherited his love of Chinese opera from his grandparents. вЂњLike Gwee Boon, I did not want to be a troupe leader. Nick Shen hopes that Titoudao can continue to bring awareness to the dying wayang trade. In real life, I am firm and steady but I hardly lose my temper on stage,вЂќ said Shen. When you train your students, you have to put on a stern front. IвЂ™m always scolding (the students) in the show. Troupe leaders are supposed to be very fierce and stern. вЂњI choreographed a fighting scene with Andie (who plays the older brother of Nick ShenвЂ™s character),вЂќ said Shen, whose character was at loggerheads with AndieвЂ™s character (Gwee Seng) as their father wanted Gwee Boon to head the troupe, much to the displeasure of Gwee Seng.ДЄre there any differences from being a troupe leader in real life and acting out the role of Gwee Boon? I auditioned for three roles вЂ“ troupe leader Gwee Boon, elder brother to the troupe leader Gwee Seng and Ah Zai, adopted son of Master Gwee,вЂќ said the soft-spoken 43-year-old veteran actor and Chinese opera performer, who is known for his Channel 8 dramas such as Beyond the Axis of Truth (2001, 2005) and Romantic Delicacies (2009). вЂњInitially, Mediacorp felt that I was too young for the role (Gwee Boon). Nick Shen plays opera troupe leader Gwee Boon. Notable cast members include Fann Wong, Singaporean actor and wayang practitioner Nick Shen, Malaysian actress Koe Yeet, Crazy Rich Asians actress Constance Lau as well as Singaporean actors Andie Chen, Tasha Low, Joel Choo, Xavier Ong, Shawn Thia and Judee Tan. The filming locations were in Ipoh, Malaysia and filming took place over the course of three months.

The 13-episode drama series, like the acclaimed play it is adapted from, follows the life of Madam Oon Ah Chiam, a kampong girl turned shining wayang star, who has battled against multiple hardships and challenges in life in a bid to realise her dreams.
