Perhaps we need fresh blood or just stop putting ppl in plays/musicals etc just because they are "somebody" but because "they can sing/act" ;) Thanks for the heads up - wasn't going to see it anyway :PParis Bhttp://www.mywomenstuff.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16541080.post-18570657339407726942011-03-22T15:16:42.714+08:002011-03-22T15:16:42.714+08:00to thule aka leo:

Loved imagining the fun life in a kampung. :)<br />(Altho I know I am too much of a spoilt city gal to survive there long)<br /><br /><b>to timing:</b><br />Well, that's the thing - At least if they called it "Datuk Lat the Musical" then I would be able to manage my expectations a bit... but they named it Lat Kampung Boy the Musical so I was expecting something else completely! <br />:(<br /><br /><b>to Sean:</b><br />It needed a complete rewrite or maybe just rename it to Datuk Lat the Musical. <br /><br /><b>to Michelle Chin:</b><br />I kinda like musicals. Well, 1 out of 3 (international) and 1 out of 5 (local) anyway... <br />(Eh? How come u didn't like Wicked - luved the storyling and the powerful vocals. Found some of the songs were really catchy too....)Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00207893782305790601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16541080.post-34261834107625913612011-03-22T15:05:16.523+08:002011-03-22T15:05:16.523+08:00I'm never a huge fan of musicals.

Lat was like a childhood hero to me - many an hour spent standing at the comic racks in MPH flipping through those huge comic books! <br /><br />Though I suppose it might be somewhat expected, since it's more or less a biography of sorts, right? As in the same way that a biography of James Cameron would be infinitely less exciting than the movies he makes?timinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02076705703643811650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16541080.post-5504504801838413222011-03-22T11:57:24.558+08:002011-03-22T11:57:24.558+08:00remember reading Lat's comic when I was in pri...remember reading Lat's comic when I was in primary school.. but that was it!
