Puteri Gunung Ledang the musical theater

[reen%]

Well last night i was given a chance to see the show and i have
to say it was breathtaking.
Not a single soul gave their unapproved look of the show.
The props, the dancers, the actors, the actresess & the ochestras were all
insync to gives a spectaculor show.
lots of the other famous artists, producers and other Sifus came to watch the
show.

The show start off with the dancers complete with Majapahit costume
singing & dancing around the stage mimicking the style of the Hindu god.
The scene then took us to the conflict of Majapahit being drawn to a war
with Pangeran Demak and also the love birds Hang tuah & the princess.
The lights and sound effect really brought us the mood for every scene.
During the scene in Majapahit, most of the actors & actresess walked & stand like the style of the "wayang kulit". I have to say this is a very painful posture.

After the half scene of the show, it was time to Melaka. The props were even magnificent. A jetty -->potraying melaka as the most popular port during that era and the wooden carving of "awan larat" potraying the "istana melayu". The music & sounds were more harder than majapahit. Lots of drums were being used. (oh my seat was very near to the
orchestra...and i could saw few good looking young drummers waaaaaaaa syoknye..i even saw this one particular drummer look like tsunami aka Battousai.) *ahem back to theater* the scene of the jungle in
Gunung Ledang was very simple. Ok please laa dont think they put a
few polisterine of trees and plants like normally used in kindergarden.
Instead they use curtains with batik design.
The conflict around Gunung Ledang was exciting. The nenek kebayan(s)
figting with the Hang Tuah's group.
Anyhow i think all of u guys will know the rest of the story. Well if you
dont then read here http://www.pglthemovie.com/

Other than that i would like to say i am impress with the king of majapahit  vocal. For the Hang Tuah, that london dude sure practise a lot to polish
his skill speaking like a true malay but there were a few pronounciation
still tougue twisted. Though that didn't spoil the show at all. His vocal is strong and clear though they use him to sing mostly ballad style.

Anyone of u who didn't think this show is worth to watch ..then think again.
I've seen the show FAME from london before and this PGL is as good as them.
For more info http://www.pglthemusical.com.my/
Anyhow the show have been extended to another 2 days.
So it will end on 28th. So who ever want to see the show should try
your luck.

Nice,nice crowd.After the movie now the music theather.I guess our movies & arts are moving in the right direction

PS:I notice there's a Celcom logo in the outside pics.

yeah..there is a lotof sponsors.
Who dont know Datin Tiara. She is a powerful lady.
When a powerful lady knows how to use her power, she can
get everything in place.
 
I like how she uses her ability to promote her work.
For TMnet streamyx subscribers could entitle for 20% from
the actual tiket price.
Actually there are a lot of malaysian movies qualify to be proud of.
Why is it our own people take it for granted?? Maybe becoz no
money to advertise which is different for Datin Tiara.

[Ching]

That is amazing somehow,& it will become thefirst legendary local movie in theater versions.

It is really cool to see your favorate actors & actress in the stage.

[darklord]

I wonder if anyone have notice that most of our CGI advert are done by local company,not bad,can match those made in the West.We need more creative local producer brave enought to take the challage but unfortunately some of those movie are ban or cut alot like Amok,Fantasia..something like that,is there a movie call "merah"?that movie too are ban.We need more power people to move our movies & art industries forward.

Yaa i agree with ya darklord.
We need special people to really fight for it.
That is why most of our local artist, designers run away from
the malaysian industries. They jump to other countries for support.
I hate it when the local gov keep saying..we are lack of this sectors..we are not enough man power and so on...but actually we dooo have those criterias.

Ching..very much yess..this will be something different from the local malay's teater. This is an entertaining teater. The message is rather simple and easy to understand. Different from a few malay's theatre.
Some might be even jealous of Datin Tiara achievement but hey...she got it and she delivers what the audience wants to see.
She wants to proof to our locals that if people from out of this country could label her as the Best Actress in PGL and why not her people. She proof it again by making PGL turn into a musical theatre.

I am proud of her. Hope there will be more people like her who wont stepback just because of a few insults and comments.
