As you might have heard (or not) this coming 2nd & 3rd March 2013 I will be performing as one of the main cast for a musical production, RENT in concert. We are doing about 70% - 80% of the whole Musical. This production is brought to you by Broadway Academy Talent School (BATS) Repertory Theater Club (RTC). We are a group of people who are passionate about Musicals and performing that we get together to produce this show!

All the Casts Posing Cooly for the poster... lol

RENT tells a story of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York's Lower East Side in the thriving days of Bohemian Alphabet City, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. It is one of the most influential Musical that changes the style of music presented on Broadway! It is full with upbeat pop and rock songs that is catchy and powerful with some very beautiful Ballad arranged by Jonathan Larson.

Aladdin the Musical @ Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach

Let me start this with a heartfelt thanks to feeqsays.com who had forwarded my name to the organizers who in turn gave me 2 free tickets to watch the show. And of course, thank you to the organizers who gave the tickets, even though, I have no idea who they are.

Dreamgirls~~

Okay, as much as you would say we are the girl in your dreams, this is not the "Dreamgirls" I have in mind. These are just some pictures we took while waiting before entering the halls for the newest hotest item in town, Dreamgirls Musical Theater. 

Specially licensed from Broadway itself, this hottest sensation that had once be turned into a movie. It is basically about 3 ladies from Chicago who tries to find name and fame in the big city. It's all about celebrating girls' power baby! hehe~

How do I find the theater? AWESOME! I loved the most how they play the stage and change it into different sets and played with angle. Of course the lighting and sounds were exceptionally good too. I sincerely thank my very good friend who invited me to the play, Huzai :)

What was more interesting was the powerful and marvelous voices of the casts. The Original Main casting for the characters are;

Effie White - Elvira Arul and Dina (Singer and performer)
Curtis Taylor Jr. - Tony Eusoff (Celebrity TV and film actor)
Deena Jones - Cheryl Samad (Celebrity TV presenter and host)
Lorrell Robinson - Azura Zainal (Celebrity TV presenter and host)
Michelle Morris - Ruzana Ibrahim (Singer and performer)
C.C White - Dafi (Akademi Fantasia finalist)
Marty Madison - Indi Nadarajah (Celebrity comedian with Comedy Court)
Jimmy "Thunder" Early - Kris Coleman

However, when we went, most of those characters were played by the understudies!! Since I sat at the last row of the uppermost, farthest, last seating, so I barely recognize (or can see) the people playing the roles. Nevertheless they sounded super terrific I tell you! Only later when the main casts went out to sign autographs did we all realized that they were understudies (except for Elvira Arul playing Effie, Tony Eusoff playing Curtis, and Kris Coleman playing Jimmy. ) At first I was disappointed because I wanted to see how our local artists play the roles (like Dafi, Dina and Cheryl) But then I realized, I enjoyed every moment of the play, and it didn't really matter that I don't know who they are. Because they were AWESOME.

She's a UiTM student too (proud) :)

If the understudies were that good, can you imagine how the good the real casts will sound?? So I am definitely going back!! Anyone wants to join me? I can get cheaper tickets!! XD
