Here is my thoughts on it:
First up, super enjoyable and was thoroughly funny!!!! I went in expecting to be a bit bored because i don't know a lot of broadway music, but even so, the well written Malaysian style lyrics was good and fresh! It was funny because you can relate to it. It made fun of our culture, our eating habits, the way we eat food, the whole shopping mall concept, the Jabatan working habits, the whole superstitious thing and how we like to scold people.
All in all, great fun, definitely worth the money we paid for.
Of course, not everything can be perfect, i felt that certain songs were tad bit boring and draggy that killed the pacing of what should be a very ultra dynamic kind of show. Inidividually, the cast sang very very well, mostly clear and good pronunciation, well injected humor and high production values. But when they collectively come and sing together, i don't know if it is just my hearing and all, but i cannot get certain words or stuff they say, the blending was ok, but could have been better.
The dance tapping in one of their numbers was fantastic and enjoyable to watch, the songs that rhymed really well was pleasant to the ears. The persona the cast donned were spot on and definitely should be given credit for.
Post event, managed to talk to most of the cast, and they were super friendly and were really really fun to be with, and so humble.
Not like when i watch Love and Beauty last week, got a RUDE lady who have this DIVA attitude and sort of raised her voice just because we were lacking of space to sit, so we had to squeeze a lil, she killed the mood of watching the play.
Bottomline:
WATCH IT!! WATCH BROADWAY PARODIES LAGI LAH!
Only up till this sunday! Really, it's spot on funny and witty!
Ask others!
PS: Met Colin Kirton, apparently Footstool players doing a production in KLPac soon, must go watch it!
