Auditions will be maximum 10 minutes. At the audition, the panel will want to hear you sing, and see how you act and move. In addition to your song, please prepare a short one to two minute monologue to deliver in the character for which you are auditioning. Or adlib on the audition day if you prefer. Bring your own props/costume. You will also need to be able demonstrate some skill in movement and a decent sense of rhythm. Bring your music and show us your dance!

IMPORTANT!!Auditionees MUST sing a song that has been featured in a staged musical. This helps the panel of judges to gauge your suitability for the show and the role. Better if you can sing one of the songs that the character for which you are auditioning sings in Mamak Mee-Ah.

SUGGESTIONS Whilst the production team will video the auditions, do please try to bring a Theatre Biodata or CV or Press Kit or something that helps the panel to remember you. Previous experience shows that those who did got the gig over those that didn't.

We have the backing music for all the songs in the show, but if you have your own CD Backing music do please feel free to use it for the audition. If you have sheet music, please bring a keyboard player with you. And a keyboard. And an amplifier.

Ninety percent of success comes from showing up. Try to think about your strengths and what you see that you could bring to the show and the character.

There are only ten spots available. Not everyone will get one. Us saying no does not mean failure, just that you don't appear to have what we see the show needing at this time. Brian McIntyre will call everyone with a decision within two weeks.

But bear in mind that things can change. Initial cast selections occasionally drop out and strong second choices then get the call and the gig. Remember there is always a long term. If not this show, then maybe the next. Stay positive.

CONTACT To book your audition slot, please contact Dylan at 017 3338916 or email dylanctl@hotmail.com. Please also advise Dylan which character you want to audition for.
Looking forward to seeing what you've got!!

The Land Below The Wind: Final Stop for BPLL National Tour 2008

If it wasn't because of the rain, we would have had the chance to go to the island trip on our final day in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. I was looking forward for it so much but to just "berserah" to the weather that don't seem to stop from the day we arrived in KK.





Now, should anyone ask if I have had any local speciality food, I will say, I only manage to try the local "Kon Lau Mehn" (Dry Wonton Noodles) at Lintas, KK. Other than that, good seafood at the Gardens nearby KKIA.





We were staying in Best Western Courtyard, One Borneo, huge shopping complex. I can safely say in my personal opinion, it feels like equivalent walking in any major shopping complexes in the Klang Valley. It has the feel of the 1-Utama new wing.





UMS' Recital Hall was very challenging to us. Having to perform with minimal sets, last minute feedback monitors and slippery floors, I must say we have done quite a decent job. The organizers were very hospitable too. They feed us with really good food particularly the homecooked seafood at Datuk Adeline Leong's residence. Thank you Datuk Adeline, whom has been very kind to me when I was ill. I mean, over all, she really make sure that everything has been taken care off, our lodging, and all sorts. My profound and deepest appreciation to Datuk and her team for such a wonderful stay in KK.




I really missed those kids from IEC that attended our 2.5 hours Musical Theatre workshop. All of them are so bright and full with energy. They watched our matinee show and stayed back to meet us. We miss them dearly. Now some of us are connected via Facebook too! Yay! Probably in a swift of a blink of an eye, those kids turns out to be real performer on stage, larger than life and successful if they want to be.


Thank you all for watching the show. We hope you have a blast and time of your life enjoying our little nonsense on stage.

Thank you for supporting Malaysian Theatre.

Workshop @ IEC, KK, Sabah


The Cast Members of Broadway Parodies Lagi Lah had the opportunities to share some tips on how to be a performing artist. We conducted a short 2 hours debrief of Acting, Singing & Dancing in the said event which was attended by more than 20 students from various backgrounds.


The flight to KK was about 2.5 hours and we were already wet traveling from the lobby to our coach because buses are not allowed to pick up passengers from the lobby. Anyway, their lobby is beautiful. The rooms are not too bad too.


Our next technical run is on Friday night. Show is on Saturday. Do come and watch us performing in KK!


For the kids who attended our workshop on Thursday afternoon, we hope you guys have enjoyed and take back some learnings from us.

Review: Musical A Runaway Success

The Star Metro: Thursday October 16, 2008

Musical a runaway successs

Story and photos by ANTHONY LAW

THE musical, Broadway Parodies Lagi Lah, staged by the Actors Studio at Taman Budaya in Ipoh was a runaway success.

The performers, who presented a series of hilarious songs, kept the audience entertained with their two-hour non-stop performance.

The event provided a good opportunity for Ipoh folk to meet talented personalities like Farah Sulaiman, Ho Soon Yoon, Glamorique Arshad, Keith Yew, Mia Palencia, Shahila Johan, Tabitha Kong, Janet Lee, Sham Sunder Binwani, Sarah Low, Zeqthy Nattrah Ramli, Lim Ang Swee, John Siew, Loi Chin Yu and Edna Tan.

Sham Sunder, who virtually stole the show with his hugely versatile role, said it was a great experience to perform in front of a receptive audience.

“It gives us encouragement to perform even better,” Sham Sunder said after the performance recently.

He added that he and his group practised for seven weeks for the musical which was organised by the Perak Society of Performing Arts (PSPA).

Production designer Edna Tan said while it was a challenging experience to perform before the Ipoh audience, the wonderful response was really an “ego booster” for her.

“It was a sort of ego trip for me to perform as I was just stepping in to take the place of another member who was not available,” said Tan who took on the role of a rich Datin going on a shopping spree in the musical.

She added that she did not find any difficulty following the group throughout the performance.
Palencia, who was a lead performer, said it was very challenging to perform in front of an entirely different audience.

She said the Taman Budaya theatre was an excellent venue for her to get intimate with the audience because of its small size which meant that the spectators sat nearer to the stage.

“I enjoy every moment of the show and obviously I could see they are hanging on to the words I said and sang. They were laughing throughout the show,” Palencia said.

Kong, who kept the audience entertained with her humorous role by singing Good Morning Towels to the tune of Good Morning Starshine, said it was a wonderful feeling to be performing before an enthusiastic crowd.

Kong had been singing gospel for eight years and her great love for musical theatre attracted her to turn full time in performing arts. Prior to this, she worked as a brand manager in an advertising company.

“Wow! It is wonderful to appear in Ipoh which is such a close community and a good neighbourhood to be in,” Kong said.

PSPA president Datin Rosalina Ooi said the society decided to bring the show to Ipoh to expose the local folk to the performing arts.

Thank You JB!


Yay! We have completed our run in Johore Bahru. Thank you for being such sporting audience!

The food in JB is not too bad either. I heard that there are good choices around at the Taman Pelangi side! Our JB trip was a short one. Hence, could not explore more but just to get ourselves ready for the performances.

JOTIC was quite interesting. Halfway through the play, we were greeted by the JOTIC Youth Orchestra. We were on our way to the main door for the 2nd half and they were playing "Love Story". Pretty amazing, I must say considering most of them are still in their teens.

We stayed in The Embassy Hotel, lovely hotel. No complaints at all!

Our next stop is Kota Kinabalu (KK), Sabah, Negeri Di Bawah Bayu.

We will be conducting workshop a day before the show. So, do watch out for information from your local contact person.

Curtain Call

Look what I found on Youtube... haha, ada orang curi curi record the curtain call...



Anyway, glad you have enjoyed watching the show!

Tuesday, September 30, 2008

the journey ahead....


well...we've done all our 10shows in KLpac and eagerly await for our tour next week...1st stop, Ipoh, then Penang, Johor and lastly Kota Kinabalu... so whoever hadn't had the chance to catch our show in KLpac, hurry hurry go go go buy tickets...your in for a treat!

its been great working with such talent Tria Aziz and Janet Lee who eventually won't be joining us for our tour journey but their laughter and bullying method will always remain in our hearts.

As for the rest, Soon Yoon, Keith, Sham, Glam, Sarah, Tabby, Mia, Zeqhty, myself(Shahila) and our additional cast Edna will surely do our best to bring the best show that we can. Along with Brian, Shalu, Eva, Ann, Naz, John and Boon, they will make sure that the show will run smoothly like it did in KLpac...

we'll be having a final rehearsal before the tour on the 5th of October 2008 just to brush up what we've left aside during raya this week (you'd probably be seeing the BIGGER and WIDER looking cast of BPLL on tour after a week of ketupat and lemangs). :p

so feel free to drop us some comments and do tell ur about your expactation of us during the show so that we'll be prepare to give you the best show that we can...


cheers!

much love,

Shahila Johan

The Unsung Heroes

The run of BPLL in KLPac has finally come to an end. A great thank you for all of you who came for the show, some even watched it more than twice – please take a double, triple hats off from all of us! The show wouldn't have stayed open till scheduled closing without your support.

Okay, this may NOT be true 'cause we've booked the venue so we die-die-we-must-stay throughout the entire duration. But we must confess: every night before the show opened we did peeped at the backstage monitor to see the crowd, worried that audience might:

a) gave up driving in a jam
b) police road blocks along Jalan Ipoh
c) early Raya out-of-town holidays
d)
fong-fei-kei
e) all of the above

f) other (please specify) ____________________________ reason(s).

An empty theatre is a taboo: so you get the message, sincerely from us – your presence at the audience seat, a silent smile in your heart; or even the lightest dutiful applause, have motivated all us to keep the show going every night.

In one of a few chain emails circulated amongst the cast members lately, one message from Soon Yoon gave me a harsh reminder: We tend to always thank the directors, playwrights, producers or choreographers, very often enough we steal the light away from the production crew. So the next half of the entry is for them: the Unsung Heroes of Broadway Parodies Lagi Lah!

Lim Ang Swee lighting designer
John Siew sound engineer
Loi Chin Yu
set builder

Dominique Divorsine
costume designer
Shalini Kalimuthu stage manager, publicist
Jasmine Tham production manager
Ian Chow
theatre manager
Michael Thomas
production manager

Mohd. Nazri Osman
lighting operator

Ooi Yit Boon
sound operator

Seshadri Kalimuthu
PA to executive producer

Eva Wong
assistant stage manager

Ramon Matthew Singho
front-of-house manager
Shangari Subramaniam
administrator

Suresh Rasammanikam (TAS)
Farah Diana (KLPac) box office supervisors

...feeling more guilty now as I'm quoting the names shamelessly out from the programme, I hardly know half of them!

My personal thanks would be to
Shalini Kalimuthu 'Shalu' & Eva for handling almost everything backstage yet constantly got yelled at when props didn't come on stage on cue. Hats off to both of them as I had underestimated how heavy those panels were until I had to haul one all by myself! Cheers to girl power.

Also to
Boon who constantly shines the light on our faces, literally, every time before we went on stage to check that our microphones were in place. Especially for those whose microphones hate their owners - namely Shahila and myself, we owe you a big thank you and this one is for you!

Not to forget Ann Chung, the wardrobe assistant, whose one of the name didn't make it to the program. She picks up everybody's sweaty, dirty, smelly laundry... ahem, to word it nicely – she ensures we have clean, crisp costume before every show. She stations to ensure there's no room for wardrobe mulfuction, especially for Sham's oh-so-fabulous Sari. I sincerely wish to appologise on behalf of Glamo for asking her to wash his (smelly) socks. Eek. Please don't do that to Ann anymore, okay? Be nice or she'll make a Janet-Jackson's-halftime-show-at-the-Super-Bowl out of you. *Bomoh's evil laugh*

Also there are lots of other names did not even make it to the booklet, like the team at the souvenir booth who greeted all of us everynight as we sneak passed the crowd during intermission; those sweet girls at the door who wishes us to break another leg, eventhough after two shows we all ran out of legs to break; the gribs and best boy technicians who fanatically trailed Tria and the bomoh with follow spots; also those who worked answering phone calls from customers negotiating for more discounts over the boxoffice... the list goes on and on.

To those who will not join us for the tour, we hope to be able to work with all of you in many many projects in the future.

Sekian, terima kasih.

Shop! Shop! Shop!

There is a scene in "Shop! Shop! Shop" (from the Student Prince) whereby "Toh Puan Chow Mai Fan" (played by Tabitha Kong) officiate an opening ceremony of the shop. Since I was like the "guard" of the place, I was also in charge of taking pictures for the "VIPs" every night in the song. I use my own personal Nikon Coolpix S9 to snap the scene while Tabitha is still singing.

Take a look at the photos below. All of the photos were taken every night during act 2 on different days. Everyday, I will take 2 shots, can you guess which is which day?

Review: THE STAR - Malaysia's Got Talent

Talents on display in Broadway Parodies Lagi-Lah

By AMY DE KANTER

If you’re looking for a brilliant night of music, dance and laughter, watch Broadway Parodies Lagi-Lah.

If you watched Broadway Parodies Lah last year, watch it again this year. If it’s new to you, you are in for a rollicking treat.

If the title of the show is not self-explanatory enough for you, it is a collection of songs about Malaysian life set to the tunes of Broadway hits and a couple of Disney movie tracks too. Hi Ho from Snow White becomes a Malaysian’s plaintive cry Aiyo! while Tomorrow from the musical Annie answers the nationally asked €“ and answered - question: When am I going to get paid?

Shows in Malaysia, even great ones, rarely show for more than a few weeks. If you don’t catch it when it’s here, that’s it. So you know there must be something special about Broadway Parodies Lagi Lah which has returned this year not only to a bigger stage and theatre, but also to a nationwide tour which will start after it finishes its run in Kuala Lumpur.

This year’s Broadway Parodies Lagi Lah! has a brilliant new cast and is complete with dance routines,

I caught and enjoyed Broadway Parodies Lah which sold out for all performances last year at the Actor’s Studio in Bangsar, KL.

While a couple of the songs fell flat, the vast majority were hits and I wondered whether this next generation of actors would be able to step into the shoes of last years’ crowd-pulling names like Douglas Lim and Joanne Kam Poh Poh.

They do. In fact, in many ways, this performance improved on last year’s.

The stage at KLPac Pentas 1 is much larger than the one in Bangsar, but the actors fill it beautifully, due largely to Farah Sulaiman’s lively choreography. Last year, numbers like I Like to Stay in Malaysia (sung to America from West Side Story) and We Must Play Golf All Night (to, of course, I Could Have Danced All Night from My Fair Lady) needed dancers. This year, they have them.

The overall feel of Broadway Parodies Lagi Lah is a lot more like the big musicals it borrows from, with costumes, lighting, sets and even slideshows.

Two of the best-received numbers of the first act were performed by relative newcomers Keith Yew and Shahila Johan. Dancer Yew showed that he also excels in singing with Marina (Maria from West Side Story) - an ode to Marina Mahathir; and Shahila played a pampered girl worrying about the prospect of being drafted into the National Service (I am Seventeen, Going on Eighteen from the almost similarly named favourite from The Sound of Music).

If there were to be one complaint about the show, it would be the same one I had last year. In some numbers with three or more singers, it is near impossible to make out the words. This year, the show makes up for it with slideshows, costumes, props and dancing to keep us entertained whereas last year, all we could do was strain hopelessly to hear what we could only assume was as funny and insightful as all the other songs.

Luckily, most songs are done as solos or duets and writer Brian McIntyre’s hilarious lyrics come across loud and clear.

The second act picked up the pace and was even faster and funnier than the first, eliciting constant cheers from the audience. The showstopper was the finale with Mia Palencia teaching a rapt group of tourists how to curse and scold Malaysian style. As it did last year, Bodoh Lah (Do-Re-Mi from The Sound of Music), brought down the house.

The cast of Broadway Parodies Lagi-Lah was so splendid, I could single out each and every one of them for praise. Three, however, deserve special mention:

Sham Sunder Binwani merely had to step onto the stage or open his mouth to have the audience roaring with laughter. Young Mia Palencia, whose voice is more powerful and who has more stage charisma than professional performers twice her age, took over and improved on some of the show’s best numbers. Finally, the comedic talent of Tria Aziz (of reality show Audition) got some of the night’s loudest laughs and applause with several songs as a recently minted Datin doing her best to live up to her new title €“ with the help of multiple plastic surgeries and fashion accessories (her shoes are now all from “Guacci”).

Keep your eyes open for these three, as well as Yew, Shahila, Ho Soon Yoon, Glamorique Arshad, Tabitha Kong, Janet Lee, Sarah Low and Zeqhty Nattrah Ramli. If there is anyone here you haven’t heard of or seen before, hold onto your hats. You will certainly hear of them now.

Broadway Parodies Lagi Lah will be showing in Pentas 1 at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPAC) until Sept 28, with matinée on Sunday. Tickets are RM60, RM40 and RM20 (students) - family and group discounts are available. Its national tour kicks off in October, entertaining audiences in Ipoh, Penang, Johor Baru and Kota Kinabalu. For details, call KLPAC at 03-40479000 or visit www.klpac.com.my.
