Puteri Gunung Ledang - a musical treat

Hmmmmmm...where do I start ? Mebbe by saying `Loved it x 1000 times`. The evening started off very well when to our surprise, we were invited for a lovely buffet dinner before the show started. As we already had our makan, we just had some light dessert. But it was a nice touch. Quality food. About the musical : Hang Tuah was just so-so. Apart from his voice, Stephen was really nothing to shout about. Any actor who has been in an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical would have the same vocal prowess. In my opinion, that fella is a bit too fat to be prancing around & dancing, he just looks so bloody clumsy & out of place. His best performances were made when he was standing STILL. I dunno about the Malacca kingdom but that fella`s middle kingdom was pretty big.

AC Mizal was great as Gusti Adipati Handaya Ningrat. I also loved the actress who played Bayan, Gustri Putri`s nanny. Lovely voice, dancing & acting. Understated elegance. Power & grace. 1st season, the role was played by Sukania Venugopal, this time round it looked like an Indonesian actress.
Our seats were right in front of the stage. So when the actors came to the tip of the stage, they were almost breathing on us ! Awesome........
If you haven`t gone & are willing to fork out rm130 or more, go see it. Only the expensive tickets are still available.
