Grease : The Musical



Grease was held at the KL Convention Centre. We bought the RM90 category which was the cheapest one and it's quite alright. We took our seats in the hall and waited a while and finally the show started.
It started off with a short contest on stage for anyone who wants to go up and get jiggy with it (dance around). The winner of that shake-ur-bon-bon session got a Grease T-shirt...so much for all the dancing. I enjoyed the show, though the second part of the show was much more exciting. The best vocal part was for the song Beauty School Dropout which is done by a female singer this time, unlike in the movie which was a male singer. That part was really good. There were some funny moments too especially at the drive-in movie scene. The downside was that the sound system in the hall was less than satisfactory. There was too much echo which made it hard to listen to the dialogue in the show and there was A LOT of talking parts whereby the unsatisfactory sound system really was a spoiler. With the complaints aside, it was truly a great show put up by the Grease cast. Good work to them, they deserve a standing ovation. Too bad nobody shouted for an encore...and I was too shy, as expected, to chant that out because everyone would be staring at me if I get no response or nobody joins in to chant.
