But audiences find that while the stage shows are similar to their television equivalents in terms of plot, make-up, costume and singing, things remain much how they always were in terms of the shapes and ages of the actors, and in the way that the operas are acted out.

不過對台灣來的觀眾而言，台上演出的劇情、化妝、服飾、唱腔明明十分相似台灣電視歌仔戲，但藝人的身段、年紀，或是排演方式依然習慣過去說戲的方式，所以演出的效果又實實在在呈現一種野颱風格，這也是新加坡福建戲的特色了。
