Local Talent chosen to play von Trapp Children (HONG KONG, 9 February, 2015) There is no doubt THE SOUND OF MUSIC might just be Hong Kong’s most popular musical. Audience interest for the classic show which begins its run at the Lyric Theatre, has been so strong it has already forced producers to extend its season until 14 June.

We look forward to the whole international team rehearsing with them here in April.” THE SOUND OF MUSIC tells the uplifting true story of Maria, the fun-loving governess who changes the lives of the widowed Captain Von Trapp and his seven children by reintroducing them to music, culminating in the family’s escape across the Austrian mountains.

  • ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY FINDS ASP REALLY USEFUL Submitted By: Axicom Monday, 5 March 2001
    ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY FINDS ASP REALLY USEFUL Submitted by: AxiCom Monday, 5 March 2001 The Really Useful Group Switches To iFuel For Secure, Ubiquitous Application Access iFuel, Europe's fastest growing ASP aggregator, today announced that it is to host and manage applications for Andrew Lloyd Webber's International Entertainment Company The Really Useful Group (RUG). iFuel will provide RUG employees in London and New York with key office productivity applications including Microsoft Office, Microsoft Exchange, Sun Systems, Forest & Trees and Vision. The Really Useful Group was introduced to the ASP concept by iFuel ASP reseller Integration Ltd, a long term IT supplier to RUG. iFuel's ASP solution allows RUG to offer its employees secure, ubiquitous access to its line-of-business applications whilst dramatically simplifying the management of its IT infrastructure and providing a predictable cost path through a monthly scheduled payment scheme. Key benefits of the move to ASP included the ability to securely access applications from anywhere in the world using RSA SecurID two-factor authentication, as well as 24 x 7 remote support, data backup and virus protection. In addition, iFuel takes on responsibility for the entire back-end infrastructure, ranging from server hardware to communications and system management. iFuel also maintains a minimum of 30% extra capacity in its server farms at all times, which allows RUG to instantly scale up the service as new users come on board. "Companies in the SME sector are beginning to realise that the ASP model is not only a viable business option in terms of cost, but also in terms of service," said Eamus Halpin, CEO of iFuel.
