lah dey.. Guess who we (mum and i) saw at the musical??? Fauzi laily and shah, and then beatrice chia and mark richmond. Wahlau eh, mak nampak fauzi dulu. Aku da excited bercampur tak sabar terus baca the musical brochure after we got seated. Then mum looked around and asked me if that was fauzi at the door. And i went 'what, where, are you sure?' on her. And when finally those boys reached our row barulah i realise its them. Sorry, i nie malam2 memang buta terus haha. So, Fauzi was using crutches and Shah was wearing a bowler hat, in a theater, at night?? Anyway, mum smiled at them while i tried to read the brochure. Then when they sat 2 rows in front, i was gushing to mum how the sisters would be jealous that we saw those guys.
Back to the musical, it wasnt what i expected because i've never been to a musical before (if you count out the beauty world musical i saw in primary school which i can only vaguely remember). The props were cool, especially the trains. And i love the paparazzi's parts, especially the song "dengar2 sini semua.." But the most mind blowing thing has got to be Musly Ramlee. That guys' likeness to P Ramlee made the experience surreal after only 10 mins of watching him perform. And half the time i sat there i kept forgetting that this is not P Ramlee. Though there were a few times when he sang where i could distintly make out the wrong notes. Macam betul jer aku nie, but having grown up watching the movies a hundred times either out of boredom or the need to have a good laugh, i think i kinda know what P ramlee really sounds like. Cheh...
I didnt really like the others though, emelda, atillia and melissa saila..too unlikeable, whatever that's suppose to mean. But atillia's voice was very nice, read some where that she just made a record, must make mental note to look out for that.
Liza Hanim was super dee duper funny and charming on stage. Such a doll. I was really looking forward to hearing her sing live, and i wasnt disappointed. Fabulous i tell you. And when she wore the tight long dress with the labuci(saloma's signature dress) i was so stunned as the similarity was very striking. She carried out her part perfectly, i guess that's how Saloma was, very the manja.
Throughout the musical, there were moments i felt like crying as i cant believe that finally i got a peek into allahyarham P ramlee's life. For the sake of this thing they call SENI/art, he made lots of sacrifices. The circumstances before his death, dipulaukan atau dilupakan oleh society/filmakers (i think), is very sad. But this made him recognised now. Like what i told norain, it takes death to bring a person glory or infamy. Philosophical pulak aku nowadays.
So yeah, if given a chance, i would really love to watch this again. If only arwah nenek was alive to watch it, the musical really reminded me of her..haiz..
