Aladdin the Musical - The review

One will have a certain expectations when a show is being performed in Istana Budaya. Due the the success of PGL, whichever theatre shows that comes after that will have to match the certain benchmark that has been set by the audience. Aladdin the Musical is no exceptions. However, the benchmark was Ali Baba The Musical which starred Aznil. That show was a blast and that became the talk of the town. We went to that show as well and we enjoyed the show very much.

We got the tickets a week earlier, apart from the 50% discount for the cuties, I was given additional 10% discount since I am a Sahabat Istana Budaya.

We arrived around 2.15pm as we wanted the avoid the traffic. You won't believe that traffic in KL usually is worse during Saturday rather than the normal working day. The cuties couldn't wait to enter the theatre. They were running all over the place and now I couldn't wait to enter the theatre! They were six of us(plus adik ler...)

At the entrance of the theatre, the excitement is on!!
In the theatre before the show starts, Istana Budaya was not that strict this time and allow people to snap photos in the theatre.

The show was great! Beyond my expectation considering that there is no actual star, just featuring FBI of Hotfm and Erma Fatima. FBI was excellent and funny giler...Never expect that out of him. Erma was freaky and her voice causes some of the kids there to cry :(. I take that as a success for her...

The kids in this show were very talented. I personally love the parrot character, the witch so called companion. Really cute especially when they were the only 2 creature on stage and were chanting..."jahatnyer dia, jahatnyer dia"... and followed by a giggle...

The cast of Aladdin the Musical doing their bowing action, 1,2,3 Bow....

During the autograph session, we didn't stay to get the autograph as my baby was starving and we need to feed her at the soonest or else....

The lines that I remembered the most :

Akulah jin, bapak jin, ratu jin(plus a gelek act), jintan manis(???), jin lampu ajaib!!!

Apa nie, I tau suka bila u all rebut2 kan I, terasa diriku begitu berharga...(Loreal tagline, tak kena bayar royalty ke bang oooiiii)

All and all, it was an entertaining show...whatever that can make the cuties sit still for more that 1 hour is a 5 star rating to me...

After that, I was craving for IKEA's mashed potato so we headed there for an early dinner. Then, did some window shoppind at the Curve since I love to browse through the flea market there.

The cuties insisted on taking photos with the Optimus Prime(did I spell that correctly)

It was a good Saturday indeed. No one fought(no major ones lah!), no one throw a tantrum(tak sempat pun since baru nak start, my better half gave the look!) and no one asked for something that they know they won't get(seriously, this didn't happen at all)
