Review - Cuci Cuci The Musical 2

It's been a while since i last watched any musical...

When the very da berry nice and comot zetty called me up saying that she have 2 free tickets to watch it...i immediately clear up my social calendar for the evening and drive up thru the hideous traffic all the way to Istana Budaya...

It was worth the effort...seriously...i had a great time...laughing all the way for more than 3 hours (8.30p.m - 12.15a.m)...for those who aren't familiar with the musical...it was actually based on a movie Cuci Cuci starring Hans Isaac, Afdlin Shauki, Awie and A.C Mizal...but for this particular musical...they made some adjustment to the cast...Erra's character was replaced with Vanidah Imran and A.C's with Nabil...and i have to say the re-cast works perfectly for the musical...especially nabil with his comedy-persona really trigger laughter from the audience...

The musical started with prologue about the 4 adopted brothers...followed by a well-choreographed dance routine and immediately to the first scene in the coffee shop whereas they encounter vanidah imran whois the ceo of the wwo (world washing olympics - huh?)...btw the winner of the wwo will be entitled to the grand prize of cleaning up KLCC for one year...talking about tall-dreams eh...then the story goes on with the four brothers dealing with conflicts and betrayal while going on to participate in the WWO...

Each scene thruout the musical do stay to the storyline of the movie...it was a delightful 3 hours watching those brothers' quick banter as well as strong performances by the supporting casts...jaclyn victor prove that she have more than just a singing talent...harith iskander doesn't fail to deliver...i was actually surprised by awie's character which brought unbelievable laughter with his antiques...the character is seriously different with his real character in real life...seriously funny...as for nabil...he is indeed nabil...everytime he deliver his lines...it always comes out hillarious...even while it was in a drama-scene...the one i remember the most was his unability to pronounce the rock group search...it comes out as seessh...it was damn funny...and lots of other scenes...

All in all...cuci cuci the musical was an enjoyable one...its good to ease your mind off work and just laugh out loud...coz everybody in the hall does that...hehehe...and not forget...thanks zetty for the invite...eventho i am the third choice...next time invite me again yeah...
