puteri gunung ledang

so puteri gunung ledang...

since last night was the preview night,
all medias friends family etc etc etc
were invited to watch for free.
hahaha. best things in life really come in free.
not double. or packages, just free.

the play was awesome.
tho i did had a higher expectation on it.
but i will probably blame it on the venue.

the seats, they were bad.
i mean literally bad.
i don't mean our sitting position,
that was just marvelous.
center center. you couldn't ask for more.

so about the seats,
OMFG. i am petite.
and i felt claustrophobic sitting there.
basically no landing area for your feet.
the design/material was not ergonomic at ALL!!!
3 hours on that seat was a nightmare.
even the old TGV cinemas are way way better.
ISTANA BUDAYA you need a major MAJOR renovation!

about the performances, i must say i am really impressed.
that they could really remember the entire script!!!
haha. it wasn't short lines but LONG LONG LONG lines.

i loved the indo lango more than the malaya lango.
they even used LAH at some point.
-.- ish. and to say that it was ancient time.
at least the indo lango was just more stylo. haha.

costumes could have been a better colour palate.
only because sometimes i can't see who is singing.
even if they were the supporting extras.
because the extras extras were also in the same colour.
-.-

musics, at times it felt like i was watching a disney play or evita peroni play.
but overall i loved the score.

stage was good. they really utilized the entire dimension. haha.
and for such a small area... it was GOOD!
imagine if the venue was bigger. wicked!

visuals & effect... i really didn't like the ala mao tse-tung flag.
or effect when the maharaja pahit's entourage was marching...
omg. that effect was... cheezy ah.
everything else i likey~

especially all the MAGIC tricks. haha.
puteri and the witch can like suddenly disappear.
kewls!
... so istana budaya you have a good stage for tricks...

i can't believe i did what i did backstage.
kewls. haha.

merci merci for the tickets, crystal, jason, adam.

... on a ultra bitchy note.
everyone i knew dressed up.
everyone i knew qued up to enter.
but some people... *holds hand up holds diva pose*
some malaysians, they just wore tshirts and jeans.
and well just walked into the gate/entrance like it was their dad's house.
nya MA CI BAI ah.

i don't wanna elobrate much on the play because it's meant for your own eyes to see. and experiences it. not by my words. because i really did enjoyed it. even tho there were things i wished that they would do it differently, but that's my opnion, and only after i watched it. so if you wanna bitch you have to watch it. HAHAHA.

support la go watch la~
malaysia's stage play,
somemore this is a muscial k.
like... how rare. haha.
