PGL the Musical



Do see PGL the Musical, even if it's only to gawk at Stephen Rehman-Hughes. M. Nasir was alright, but give me R-H anytime! Been quite awhile since a hunk caught my eye, and boy, did he caught mine! I don't care if he can't act or sing, as long he's drool-drop gorgeous! And R-H, were you waiting for us to invite you to our dining table when you 'pretended' to be lost at the buffet spread?
Please, please tell us so!
Congratulations once again, and thank you, Tiara and Datuk Seri Effendi, for taking Malaysian performing arts to greater heights (apart from giving us R-H via complimentary balcony tics!)
The use of wayang kulit, gamelan, kabuki and other theatrical forms created a magnificent Nusantara/Oriental feel, with strains of Pocahontas and Miss Saigon wafting or seeping through like a cool Tropical evening breeze laced with tuak from a Sarawakian longhouse.
Kudos too to Sukania Venugopal as the loyal but defiant Bayan, AC Mizal who portrayed a much superior version of the Control Freak from Hell - Gusti Adipati - than Alex Komang in the movie (which I saw twice and thought Alex was the hunk then!), Adlin Aman Ramlie as the arrogant yet amusing Sultan Mahmud and little Afif as the adorable Raja Ahmad!
