Ali Baba Blah Blah Blah
Friday, March 25, 2011
Yesterday night, Ezzuan and I went to Np to watch our dear Hanis and Nadiah perform in the MCC school production, Ali Baba Blah Blah Blah.
I will skip out the selenge moments for me and Ezzuan in the taxi. That is better left forgotten.
So, REVIEW.
Seeing as I'm not really into malay productions and Singapore malay humor, I wasn't really expecting much at first.
But the whole production turned out really well, actually.
It was funny from the start to finish.
From the moment I entered, the dialogue was funny.
I just didn't get the intrusion of comments by that singer guy..so tak perlu I think.
"Inikah kentang?" ...that will forever be an inside joke.
And the sound effects were really funny cause it kinda exaggerate the stuff a bit, and sometimes, it's just tak perlu, tapi kelakar.
Everything went well, from the audience's point of view. I mean, it looked like it was going on smoothly and there's not really obvious mistakes of whatever seen.
But I really didn't get the "Cut, cut, cut!" part by that singer guy.
It was going smoothly until he intruded and told that Apek to change mike or smth.
I mean, first, his mike was already ok.
And if it's a part of the whole show, I didn't get it.
But otherwise it was funny.
Top characters:
the Apek guy - his actions are just so funny, especially the part where he first saw the dead body.
Ali Baba - he's just cute..the dancing, the side comments/muttering..
Kassim Baba - I don't know if it's just me, but the way he walked was funny..oh and his own language that part..
The fact that the Chief entered on a scooter, that was hilarious.
Ok, so to sum it all up, the production was hilarious.
Didn't expect me to laugh so much at malay comedy, but I did.
The acting was fabulous, no awkwardness or those non-expressions that Suria actors tend to have.
The whole arrangement was beautiful, like how the songs and dance all come together..
I can really see the Dikir Barat, Malay Dance and Drama people coming together and learning the different elements of the production.
I saw a little Silat at the start, the part where Hanis and that other girl did that thing.
Nak rating?
Rating: 9/10
