Hey Nora, Nora!

Caught The Secret Life of Nora on Fri night with ww my de facto musical kaki (major bummer that we won't be catching Wicked in S'pore together :( ...

Had been wanting to watch Nora since I first saw the poster, but forgot all about it, esp with the busyness that was September. Saw a friend's Instagram of the show last weekend and immediately dropped ww a text. Happily, she was game. We got the cheapest tix (RM53) haha, and got a seat wayyyy up on the 3rd floor. Oh well.

Anyways, just a quick few words on the production. Verdict: Loved it! Even from wayyy up. It's light, entertaining and fun! Too bad we couldn't really see the actors' faces. The songs were okay (nothing compared to Puteri Gunung Ledang! :) Tiara looked and sounded good. Ryan Silverman was ok (Stephen Rahman Hughes has better vocal -- I keep comparing this to PGL cos I lurrved that). Adiba Noor was awesome--methinks she stole every scene she was in! Tony Eusoff was quite a character too :) Aznil was OTT (his character is supposed to be OTT but he OTT'd it another notch, I wasn't impressed) buttt he seemed to be a crowd favorite, which I don't get. Oh well. The crowd was rather responsive, which was very cool. :)

Overall, an enjoyable fare. :) And oh, really dig (dug?) the props/set and costumes too :) I think the show's run has been extended. Go watch!
