Two Shows In Two Days
I had an extremely busy week trying to squeeze in work, preparing for my next MBA module, doing my taxes and catching two great shows all in the span of 5 measly days. *Phew* No wonder, I'm exhausted. Doesn't help that I'll have classes tonight as well as throughout the weekend thus depriving me of my much needed rest. :(
On Tuesday, I managed to catch "Disney On Ice" showing at Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil. Watching the performance brought back so many memories as the last time I caught "Disney On Ice" was as a little boy about a decade and a half ago. Hmm...I must be getting old..*sigh* This time, "Disney On Ice" had brought in many characters from their newer animated features as well as some of golden classics such as 'Finding Nemo', 'The Incredibles', 'Mulan', 'Toy Story', 'Lion King' and 'Beauty And The Beast'
The entire performance features short snippets of each Disney story with some fancy skating by some of the characters in full costume even! That must be some extraordinary feat! The Disney costumes were very elaborate and colourful. I was amazed at the detail that went into making each costume to the extent of the some of the main Disney characters even having multiple wardrobe changes :)
Overall, I enjoyed the show very much, well worth the time spent but I guess it was more interesting to see the newer characters being portrayed in "Disney On Ice" and I'm not sure whether the next time will feature a great many additions to the characters so I might end up waiting another 5 years before catching it again.
Disney characters dressed in various costumes!
Spot any of your favourite Disney characters? :P
On Thursday, I had the opportunity to attend the opening night performance of "Rojak" at KLPac which is a play by the The Oral Stage Group. Basically, the play consists of many short stories and monologues each telling a unique story. I have to wonder who or what insipired each story and whether there are any hidden meanings behind each scene or perhaps is more than meets the eye.
Some of the scenes left me dumbfounded trying to figure out what the cast were trying to portray. But then again, half of the fun of theatre trying to interpret an ambigous storyline. I especially enjoyed the last story featuring 7 cast members each doing a monologue. I remember this format was also present in Life Sdn Bhd 3 and I loved it then was pleasantly suprised to see it again featuring the all so senstive topic of cigarette smoking in Malaysia.
On the overall, it was a most enjoyable performance and I definitely look forward to future productions by The Oral Stage Group. Incidentally, I spotted KY at the play as well. I chanced upon his blog some time ago so he looked very familiar when I saw him last night. You can read his review on Rojak here.
