About the theater… Before enter Istana Budaya, I began to illustrate and expecting in my mind that the show is going to be sleep inducing and boring, but I was wrong. Ok, its true that the main attraction about this one is that of the acting debut by Siti Nurhaliza, but somehow you'll be wishing for more by the time you get to the end (though it ended almost 12 midnite..phew). The audience not only drawn to the mix of modern and evergreen P Ramlee songs performed by the actors but also to the characters. I guess the lead casts like Sean Ghazi, Liza Hanim and Melissa Saila were appealing enough without being too stereotype. The great thing about the show was the set, where the way they transformed the background and the set from a scene to another was fairly impressive. I just loved the scene change diversion. Although some part of the show was a bit dragging (it’s a bit too long) but all I can say is that the theater is worth watching when it cost u RM65 (student price,hehe).

It was a mixture of his contribution to the music industry, successful career but at the same time the failure in his loves life where most of his marriages ended up with divorce. It could be interesting if they don’t elaborate too much and just cut the scene of the separation issue between Malaysia and Singapore, the riots and so on. Although it wasn’t really get me into the message they intent to deliver, the show was pretty awesome. After all the whole musical show was squeaky clean, tuneful harmony, great choreography, fairly entertaining and personally I think Siti can act. Haha. Ok, guess I’ve been exaggerating too much. So if u're into this type of musical, go watch. The show ends by 3rd November.
