MAGICAL MUSICALS totally magical acts...

It was the night where i could dance and sing my heart out. Experienced Magical Musicals performance at Ampitheatre in Sunway Lagoon was a superb and surprising moments for me. Thanks to the show cause it totally brought me way to Times Square felt like watching Broadways. To add the glitters to the show, it featured more than 30 songs from numbers of musicals like Hairspray, Grease, Moulin Rouge!, Mamma Mia!, Dreamgirls, Saturday Night Fever, West End Story, Footloose, We Will Rock You, Wicked, and even the current phenomenal Glee.


The story revolved when six aspiring actors were determine to make a great debut in Broadway. They headed to New York for the audition. There were Megan and Danny, married couple from Seattle, Amber and Josh the lovebirds and also Stephanie from Baltimore who met Ryan at the audition before their love story bloomed.

Don't Stop Me Now
The show kick off with the rendition of Don't Stop Me Now from We Will Rock You. Later Stephanie stepped up to show her talent with my favourite sixties song from Hairspray, Good Morning Baltimore. Wahhh my mouth can't stop singing to her. Then, Danny and Megan get their chances alone to sing and express their past love in Tonight (West Side Story) before Amber and Josh took the stage with Grease's You're The One That I Want and Summer Nights.

Good Morning Baltimore
Ryan was a little bit down when Stephanie explained that she was Holding Out For A Hero in her life. Ryan need to his time to Footloose so he could loose a bit and Megan and Danny stole the night with As Long As You're Mine and Defying Gravity from Wicked with a spectacular lighting when beautiful sporadic blue lights shot the whole ampitheatre just like we're part of it.

I love the blue lights
Besides that, there was a PG13 scene where the hunky male dancers were dancing topless to steamy I Need A Hero by the girls. Hahaha it was funny to think about it when all the girls watching were screaming like hell. To spice up the show, it wasn't just Broadway songs were there, because surprisingly they belted out to Jai Ho with intriguing fire dancers. Hell everyone was singing and tapping their feet too.Oh another favourite song of mine. The first show end with four male extras playing bhangra.

Jai Ho
The second half of the show started with 5 years later they all were succeed in Broadway business. The girls were the stars for the hit Dreamgirls. What do I love, they later sang both renditions of One Night Only, slow and fast numbers. Danny and Josh couldn't believe that after this five years, Ryan still hasn't pop out the question to Stephanie. Ouchh.

Dreamgirls
Later at the night club, the boy started with Night Fever. Whoa feeling like watching Elvis Presley. Stephanie who has a crush on Ryan ask him If I Can't Have You. Danny and Josh urged Ryan to propose Stephanie but then he don't had the gut to do so and leave her in despair singing to Reflections. And when Amber and others were singing to The Elephant Love Medley only Ryan got the courage to ask her through the big screen, ''Will you marry me?''.

Night Fever
The happy cast then hit the Glee-ful night with Don't Stop Believin' before Stephanie did the Rachel style og Don't Rain On My Parade. Then OMG, my favourite mash up of Umbrella/Singing In The Rain and they danced with glow in the dark umbrella gave a very beautiful scene. Then the male leads took the stage with We Will Rock You and We Are The Champion.

We Are The Champion

The show ended with songs from Mamma Mia! and the dancers climbed up to the audiences and searched for their Dancing Queen. Hahaha what a beautiful show.

Mamma Mia!

Though it was a great show, but then still got few weaknesses. One thing I felt like cheated was the posters of the show portrayed young budding actors but then the show was leaded by thirty plus actors. And some of the songs didn't suit their voices. But still, i gave two thumbs up for the magical moments and rated 4 stars out of 5.
