So there I was at Istana Budaya for the matinee performance of THE KING & I last Sunday (too lazy to post earlier). More than your eyes have ever seen. More than your heart has ever known.
This backdrop caught my attention as I walked into Istana Budaya
Can't help but have myself among the lead actors and actresses
My ticket should have been RM175 but I guess a smile and an enthusiastic chat with the young lad earned me an unexpected 10% discount from the Axcess ticketing outlet @ Rock Corner, Midvalley
The cover of The King & I programme which cost RM25
Steps leading up to the entrance of performance hall
Snapped a picture of a picture of the hall. I was seated at the Grand Circle on the 2nd level. To me, that's the best level for reasonable tickets. Bear in mind that the first 3 rows of the Upper Circle, 3rd level may not be favourable if you're short but ideal if you are not prepared to spend on tickets and don't mind a sneak peek
A very quick snapshot of the view of the stage from my seat. Photography is prohibited in the hall
All in all, it was worth my ticket and my trip there under heavy rain. The King played by Paul Nakauchi, was very humourous. As all matinees shows are, we didn't get to see original Brianna Borger play Anna but Tara Howard was excellent. I love the set, the costumes, the props, the dances, the songs etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
When's the next musical, I wonder?

Prim, I can sense your delight being there watching the King and I. Am contented you went, as your love for musical is so great followed by travelling. Lastly, am still learning about you and missing you so much, as each day goes by. The more I avoid you the stronger my feeling is for you. Know for a fact that you have a caring heart but due to the past experiences. Doesn’t mean that all men are bastards. There are still those (limited though ;P) that speak sincerely from the heart and are not as aggressive as you are. But never the less you won my heart since the first day we met. But for now I will take a step back… I won’t be far (probably just a stone throw away)! When the time is right I will make my appearance for one final time

Dear "Anonymous",
Your recent inappropriate comments are displaying ever stronger degrees of psychosis. It isn't a broken heart that you are harbouring - it is a broken mind. Please seek urgent professional help before you cause PrincEss any further angst AND before you find yourself in serious trouble. Your apocalyptic threat in your above comment cannot go unchallenged. Get professional psychiatric help NOW, before it is too late.

Hi Char, when the staff wasn't looking, I took a very quick snap without flash with my camera phone. That's why it's not a very clear picture. Naughty me.
Wow Anon, you sound like "V" in V For Vendetta.
Hi FFL, couldn't help but giggle. Not psychotic but dramatic. He said he'll take a step back now.
Wooo chiki! Suddenly everyone loves me. I'll buy you a Connetto (lurve kliks) next time.
