Why the show must go on - and will go on | Robert Liew | TEDxSingapore

With the Internet and more accessible streaming services, will live performances lose the appeal it once held? After 40 years of working in the perfoming arts scene in Singapore, Dr Robert Liew believes in the future of live performances despite the disruption by online consumption habits. He shows us that 'The Show Must Go On' - and the reasons why.
