How Rich ARE these Kids?

I've known for a while that Fu Hsing has some of the richest kids in Taipei. We hear stories about famous parents all the time, and kids love to tell about all of their toys and treasures. This morning, though, another foreign teacher got a call saying a class would be cancelled this week. Why? Well, one little grade four kid's mom decided to "rent" the cast of "The Phantom of the Opera" (currently touring in Taipei) to show to her kid's class. Yep, who even knew they were for hire? So picture this- a massive double gymnasium, big stage, fancy lights and the cast of a famous musical. Sitting on little folding chairs in front? 40 little nine year olds.

Hey, I'm all for the arts for children, but couldn't they at least invite me?
