Tribute to Tinkerbell (Part 2)

It's time again to pay tribute to my beloved Tinkerbell earring which, I still think, is having fun in KK. **This post may contain spoilers**

Last night was the first time I attended a musical in Malaysia. This was the first in KL since Grease which I enjoyed so much in Edinburgh a few years ago. The Lion King in Disneyland Paris was actually the last one I watched but I don't want to count that in because I didn't actually pay and enjoy the show as much.

I went for Peter Pan the Musical and I felt satisfied at the end of the show. Despite the poor turn ups, I thought it was a classy affair as there were a lot of people who dressed up nicely and this included both Malaysians and non-Malaysians. I was seated next to this adorable little girl who dressed up in a fairy suit. She was engrossed with her newly bought t-shirt written 'Lost Girl' and was happily showing it off to me. I entertained her for a bit and I think both of us were pretty pleased after our short conversation.

I have to say I enjoyed this musical more than I did Grease. I was just too impressed with Peter Pan's casts as they were mostly children. They were full of energy and very well rehearsed. Ryutaro Yanagita, the boy who played Peter Pan caught my eyes the most. He was small, had a good and clear speech, and had a superb dancing talent. Our Japanese 13 years old Peter Pan.

Tinkerbell was a Malaysian named Amelia Tripura Hendersan. She was all right but her performance was a little lack of ooomph.

If you plan to watch this musical, bet you would be entertained by the Darling's dog, Nana. The dog was a person dressed in a dog suit and painfully had to crawl his way throughout the 2 hour show. Poor thing but well played.

I was seating upstairs where I could see the disco balls very clearly. Funnily these are the first thing I spotted after sitting down. Been wanting to invest on that and put it in my room. Hehe.

To be honest, after 10 minutes going into the musical, I realised that I've never watched Disney's Peter Pan. I didn't know the storyline hence I didn't know what to expect. Luckly the musical was loud and clear so I managed to roughly understand how the Peter Pan story goes.


The theatre hall was filled with water bubbles coming from the ceiling during the finale of the musical. Disco balls were spinning with lights pointed at them. Lights were reflected on the walls which gave a nice outer-space-like of effect. Reminds me of Ross-Rachel's first night at the museum :)

So guess what my next mission is? To rent Disney's Peter Pan DVD!
