P Ramlee the Musical

was supposed to blog about this earlier, but other things got in the way.

on Tuesday me and my family went to watch P Ramlee the Musical at Istana Budaya. i had wanted to watch this since last year, but when i wanted to get the tickets, it was already sold out =(. i knew my Dad was a big fan, and so i knew he would like to watch it as well. i was always a fan of musicals; some of the shows that i've been to before in Istana Budaya were Sound Of Music, Stomp (my personal favorite, tu la Mr. Significant Other, orang ajak tak nak ikut, kan dah rugiiiii), and Puteri Gunung Ledang. so when they were showing the musical again for a second time, i immediately dropped everything at hand and practically ordered my Dad to purchase them before they sold out. since my parents were already classified as Senior Citizens =P, they got 30% off their ticket price, as well as my siblings, under student price.

at the last minute Significant Other couldn't make it (cheese, rosak plan!) so my sister's friend joined us for the show. the show wasn't bad in my opinion, only for the occasional microphone sound glitches and a techincal problem at one point of the show. the Sultan Raja of Perlis and his konchos attended the show too, so the show started a bit later than the originated time. Siti Nurhaliza and Datuk K was apparently there too, only noticed them during the interval. this time round she was in the audience instead of being on stage. and Musli Ramlee seriously looks and sounds like the late P Ramlee. how eerie is that.

apart from those two, the rest of the cast is apparently the same as the previous season. some said that last season was better than this season. i dunno. i only watched the second season to have anything to say about it. and OMG, Douglas Lim seriously gained a few pounds from when i last remembered him. sudah bulat! and you know what, my former ballet teacher, Joseph Gonzales starred in the show too! to my utmost surprise. haha. thought of catching him after the show, but couldn't manage to get a glimpse of him. oh well. i don't think he even remembers how i look like. the last time i met him was in 1994. and that's a looooong time =P.

worth a watch, i should say.
