Mamak Mee-Ah!

// April 18th, 2010 // Journal

Mamak Mee-Ah! the musical spoof: A local musical performance which takes place at The Actors Studio, Lot10. It was my first time attending a local production and I would have to say that it wasn’t at all what I’ve expected.

I used to think that a local production show could be pretty lame and boring and I was proven wrong after watching the performance.

Very Malaysian feel on the storyline and this eventually brought out the finest taste of Malaysia. The act showed the typical lifestyle of Malaysians with local humor and a twist of sarcasm in between.

What brought me to life during the show was the character of a shy boy that had a crush on a beautiful girl, his dream girl. Who wouldn’t have such scene in his lifetime? I know I had it.

It changed the perception that I have on local performances and I’ll be back for more. One thing in my mind though, was it my imagination or did I really smell mee mamak in the studio itself before the show?

    Yes, that’s me. I was geeky & nerdy but I’ve changed for the better lol. So it was real, and whoever does that isn’t cool.
