Broadway Ah Beng




The main guy - Sebastian Tan








That was the title of the "musical" that I went with Nit and Vonne yesterday.








*photo taken at Cherating, Nit on the left, puipuiface Vonne on the right


It started of as a typical NOTHING-TO-DO Sunday for me, somehow my list of contacts had already been used up by me during the past month =) *note that i am a typical CANNOT BE ALONE AND NOTHING TO DO kinda person* hence my QUOTAs of going out with friends had been severely overdrafted.

Hence.................................













Then Suddenly, a phone call came *but i think i called her actually* ...................................

puipuiface asked whether I want to join her and Nit for a Musical; honestly speaking, i was quite skeptical at the beginning, thinking that i came back from the land of broadway musicals - London, and how something in malaysia can beat that. But because i really had NOTHING to do and wanted some company, I decided to tag along. PLUS, Vonne and Nit actually agree to subsidise my ticket since both of them are getting complimentary tickets, i tell you la, where can you get girls like this nowadays ??????

tsk tsk tsk........ nvm, vonne is taken, but Nit still currently available, so for those interested, please call "1-300-I-want-nit" to get into the queue. *had to do my part promoting after letting her spend on my ticket =)*

Best of all, the venue was at Bangsar Shopping Complex, which in some ways contributed to my skeptism. And when we got there, the show was delayed due to Air-con failure *which was never fixed afterall*







*i felt that i was going into a big con/white-elephant/sure boring-like-shit-show ; together with two very hyped girls*











Until i realised the title of the show was Broadway AH BENG...............................

So the show started, a GOLD-haired AH BENG in the center of the stage, wearing a glossy-green jacket with purple shirt, speaking the AH BENG language---- Hokkien.

It was actually more of a stand up comedy than a full blast musical; although they did incorporate some dancings with 3 LIAN-gels *what a f**kin funky way to patrionise ah lians*

*xxx* would be the explanation in english from hokkien

Like ah BEEW said *the main character's name* , the CONCEPT si an ne kuan *is like this*; he was supposed to get a 72 piece orchestra, but negotiated to 72pcs orchestra IN ONE CD- MINUS ONE, hahahaha *means no live music*

The whole show was full of vulgar hokkien jokes and some CIPLAK *lousy* reconstruction of some famous musicals, ie : chicago, Miss Saigon, Singing in the Rain.......... ; But the main gist was still those exploding hokkien jokes, Si pe jia lat *extremely* funny.................. those jokes could be used as REFERENCE as well........ what to do in KTV ? what to bring to UK ? how to swim when you are FAT ? ah BEEW sang very well too; interwoven between the stupid jokes are some weird inclusions of songs and LIAN-gels doing damn funny dance moves, mocking the KO-TAI *singing stage* shows and 80's MTV dance moves.................

I never laughed that hard for a long time ady. In the end, i must say, it was worth every penny. To get that laughter and being whacked all the while by puipuiface.............. it's worth it; Nit found it funny as well although her hokkien was limited. I will always look forward for another hokkien show like this, it feels good somehow if thing were conversed in hokkien.



PROUD TO BE HOKKIEN

ONCE HOKKIEN FOREVER HOKKIEN


Thank you girls for that wonderful night =)
