So it was a Saturday evening that I embarked a journey to Neverland. A musical of the legendary, every kids would know Peter Pan. Held in Istana Budaya. Tickets sold costs about RM73 - RM 200+. I did not became filthy rich in a day or had a windfall of cash falling from the sky. It was just some free tickets given by Rumah Sayangan. An orphanage home whom the organiser for this musical chose to contribute some funds. Show started at 8.30pm. The King's children where there. Douglas Lim, Adam C (from Hitz fm) where there. Not bad it was.....
Show started with their theme song, and after that a spotlight shine in the middle of the stage. 4 dancers looked up... And there came Peter Pan coming down. As if he came down from the roof but it wasn't. What a good start indeed. The rest is almost the same as the storyline, our very own local dancers where dancing pretty much gracefully following the music being played. The props also moved in and out of the stage without any noise. Skillfully done. Nice, creative sets done. Depicting Neverland, Hook's ship, the house and so on.
Had a mere chance to being able to go to the backstage but too bad can't find the person to bring us. And it turned out we (that is the Christmas musical committee) being able to go there another day, watch the afternoon show and be brought around the backstage. Awesome... Hope that will come true.
And I must say that the scenes where those casts, some where indeed flying in mid air. Of course with the help of technology which is the ropes. And at the end Peter 'flew' to the middle of the audience sprinkling some "gold dust" or some sort then back to stage. Coolly done. Guess if you want to go watch, I say the money you pay is worth it. The show is almost 2 hours long. You can go http://www.flypeterpan.com/ to check out for short video clip and some photos. At least it's a musical to remember for this year.....
