Behind The Scene - Peter Pan The Musical

19 November 2010 Thanks to AllMalaysian Bloggers Project(AMBP) as i was given the privilege with 19 others selected bloggers for the Behind The Scene (BTS) of the First ever Musical at Sunway Lagoon..woots..its Peter Pan The Musical.

So last Saturday at 3pm, all 20 of us were there to witness the theatrical production at the Amphitheatre@ Sunway Lagoon. Peter Pan The Musical will be staged at Sunway Lagoon from 26 November 2010 until 2 January 2011.

We were greeted by the CEO of Sunway Lagoon, Mr Aaron Soo, who were not only expressive but was also highly anticipated with the London West End theatre professionals. They are accompanied by the boundless talent of the ensemble cast and dancers who are no strangers to productions from Disney and West End. Peter Pan is the heart warming story of a boy that never grows up, i believe the magic of Peter Pan lies beneath in each and every one of us. I grew up watching Disney cartoons and I am still amazed by the wonderful fantasy stories with happily ever after ending. It gives everyone hopes and to be optimistic in life. To be honest, the believe in fairytale is the one that made me want to see and explore the whole wide world in different perspective. Anyway, this musical is Directed Chris Colby and choreographed by David Kort, whom are West End veterans themselves.

“The true essence of the story of Peter Pan is more than just staying young forever. It is about staying true to yourself and having fun. Sunway Lagoon is the perfect venue because it is a place where the young and young at heart come to release their inhibitions, have fun and be themselves.” added Chris.

Then there were short play for us to witness with unique stage sets and props that was designed by Sunway Lagoon’s artiste.I think the whole Amphitheatre @ Sunway Lagoon just went silent the minute Wendy serenading a song. Her voice can easily wipe-out most of the singers out there. Peter Pan too, he is so energetic that you could feel his aura of enthusiasm running around gleefully. i could feel goosebumps..simply cant wait as Peter and Wendy will be literally flying, perhaps some snow comes falling down and whimsical ambience with a yuletide theme.

Captain Hook and Smee..:)
