The much-anticipated ‘Magical Musicals’ premiered last Friday at Sunway Lagoon. Featuring some of Broadway and West End\u2019s biggest hit songs, the show entertained and thrilled the capacity crowd non-stop. I spoke to director Chris Colby and choreographer David Kort after the gala opening and they too were pleasantly surprised by the response from our (normally subdued) audience.<\/p>\n

In fact, towards the end of Stephen Weller’s stunning rendition of ‘Go The Distance’, the crowd broke into a (semi) standing ovation. Great singing, deft dancing and dazzling set design for ninety minutes! And I thought the ‘Grease’ segment alone was worth the price of admission. Hope these pictures I took during the premier whet your appetite…<\/p>\n
