I was checking out Istana Budaya website to see if any upcoming event. After much disappointment of not able to get myself a good musical to watch, i decided to checkout the broadway musical website instead to see the latest production they have.
While scrolling down the list, I found this....hahaha...a musical titled "Irene"... (perasannya)...Apparently this musical won two awards in year 1973 - Tony Award & Theater World Award...Wow! now bad ya.
The sypnosis : A classic "Cinderella" story. Irene, a nobody, end up in a charity ball & moves up in society when an attendee places her as the niece of Ireland's Lady O'Dare. When her identity is revealed, she learns who loves her for who she really is & who for what they thought she was.
Anyway, I think the culture of going for Musical play in Malaysia still progressing slow. If one really keen to watch a good production, the nearest source can only be in Singapore or Hong Kong. Sad to say that but is true.
For example, "Phantom of the Opera" has been playing in Singapore almost yearly, infact there's forthcoming play next month. But still, no sign of coming to Malaysia. Perhaps is our local stage is not big enough to creat the effect on the show? Or maybe we dont have the crowd that passion for it? I wonder....
