Why should we watch PGL 3? Personally I feel proud to pronounce that this is the most succesfull series of theatre made by Malaysian (eventhough we have to ask help Stephen Rahman; a London citizen, to replace M.Nasir after the shooting of movie PGL couple years ago)
Take a look at PGL The Movie's trailer to get some overview:
However I missed one golden opportunity to watch it last Saturday for price RM130 (2 front row tickets) due to my hectic schedule and discussions on that day. A student offer those tickets and I said "If I can't make it, my friend should too." Then what happened is I had been scolded by my friend (alah, tak luak pun kena marah)and she decided not to talk to me for 1 day (one day is nothing-lah!)and then we get back to normal when I promise to watch other theatre in Istana Budaya after this hectic semester.
Back to our PGL Season 3, they did aggressive promotion 1 week before the theatre. Tiara Jacquelina even claimed that this might be her last appearance in this series as she is now accompanying her husband in Australia and want to give opportunities to other new talent to play that role.
I think some extra element that we can expect is magical element. I don't mind about the set. Even for the 1st season PGL used basic adjustable brown blocks and still capture audience's attention. The energy showed by their actors and actress including the supporting role are so strong and appealing!!
I'm very sure Zahim Albakri as the director will give all out. He was the Best Director Boh Cameronian Arts Awards in 2003, 2005 & 2006 and an active theatre man since years ago. He and Ida Nerina have been always produced best quality product. Why not involved Ida in PGL?
Btw, Puteri Gunung Ledang The Musical also won 8 Boh Cameronian Arts Awards for
- Best Director
- Best Music & Sound Design
- Best Set Design
- Best Lighting Design
- Best Costume Design
- Best Actor in a Supporting Role
- Best Original Script Bahasa Malaysia
- Audience Choice Award
Basically Puteri Gunung Ledang is about one-sided love between Sultan Muzaffar (ruler of Malacca) and Puteri Gunung Ledang. Sultan Muzaffar's queen died and he want to remarried with Puteri Gunung Ledang because she is not a human being and always being mirrored as beautiful, wise and have a lot of servants to protect her. She agree to marry but with many conditions which are:
1. 7 trays of mosquito's heart
2. 7 trays of germ's heart
3. To build a silver bridge connecting Melaka and Gunung Ledang
4. One barrel of tears
5. One barrel of young pinang juice
6. One bowl of His Majesty's blood
7. One bowl of blood of His Majesty's son, Raja Ahmad. She also requested His Majesty
All demands were fulfilled except the 7th request. She was actually find excuse as she had no intention to marry Sultan.
So reading and listening to epic is nothing but watch it is most recommended!!
