Theatrical performance always reminds me of the clumsy Mahsuri stage performance during Teacher Day back in my primary school days where the "actors" lip-sync to pre-recorded dialogues and messy stage prop.
Last Saturday, I attended Mamma Mia ! the musical at Istana Budaya and I must say....
"holy @&%$^#$ !"
I will never looked at theatrical performances the same way again.
The performances are simply AWESOME !
When the curtain was raised I was already sitting up from my seat, impressed and mesmerized.
While waiting for the show to start earlier, hubby said that he does not like ABBA neither does he hate it.
10 mins into the performance, he is already a DIE-HARD ABBA fan. HAHAHA !
I hereyby quote him...."I have been ABBA-nised".
Finally, I have successfully bring him to the "dark-side".....
It is worth your every penny. No regrets at all.
Singing.....Super trouper.....beams are gonna blind me......
One of my fav: Dancing Queen...feel the beat from the tambourine, you can dance you can jive..............
I have a dream... a song to sing, to help me cope with anything....................
By the encore, everyone was already on their feet singing and hands clapping to the infectious songs.The fat uncle seated next to me was busy humming and tapping his feet all the way and the ladies on the other side dissapeard to the corner to sing and dance with the rest.
I must say that I went to see the performance with very high expectation after reading the rave reviews from the newspaper and people who have seen it.
And I'm glad that I was throughly impressed beyond my expectation.
I enjoyed it so much I didn't want it to end at one point !
