Puteri Gunung Ledang the Musical

A few months ago, I received a news that stopped my heartbeat.



PUTERI GUNUNG LEDANG THE MUSICAL

is coming to Istana Budaya in February. I have always been a great fan of Puteri Gunung Ledang The Musical since I watched the first season in February 2006. It was awesome and it touched my heart in so many ways other broadways may not. Honestly, I feel that PGLM could be on par with other productions from abroad which has already been in the industries for many more years as to compare with PGLM which has only been in this industry for a couple of years.

Some people do question me, since I am a big fan of musicals and theatres if PGLM is worth watching, what more to get myself and my family the best seats in the house. I simply told them that how one perceives the theatre is obviously different, but in my eyes, PGLM is definitely one of the best Malaysian production ever!

I immediately opened Tiara's blog to confirm the news - http://tiara-jacquelina.blogspot.com/ ... It was true!!!

Well, I cannot explain in simple words how elated I was when Tiara replied my comment!! Just simply happyyyyyy!!!!!!!

So, I went to watch the show on the 13th of February 2009. I cried watching the show. It was awesome! I could die to watch it again!! All the songs were resounding and what thrilled me the most is being able to sing along the songs during the show and actually knowing most of the script. Though there were some addition and I may say that the songs this time are more up beat than the 1st season, but it does not make this show less better. In fact, I think that this is the best ever!!

I love the scene where Sultan Mahmud was singing that catchy and cheeky tune being happy to be able to be engaged with the most adorable Gusti Putri. The part where Gusti Putri and Hang Tuah had to separate was heart-breaking and as the audience I can actually feel the pain inside. (well, talking from experience I suppose)..

The song arrangement, script and music put together was simple magical and made me want to actually be a part of the production one day (even if it is just pusing away the props... hehe) I am honoured to be a part of such a spendid show.



After the show, We went to the autograph session. It made me even happier to actually speak to Tiara in person and that she actually acknowledged me reading her blog. I even got the chance to take a picture of her and Stephen Rahman though it was not permitted.. Sowwie... But I appreciate it anyways.. I was really touched and smiled the whole way back home. :))) ... (Well, my sisters thought I might get them into an accident!! LOL)

To Tiara: I am your biggest fan ever! Would do anything to just watch you on stage again!!
