Aladdin was an amazing experience, a truly magical show with an amazing cast, of some of the top theatre personalities of Kuala Lumpur. I was the evil wizard Abanaza who had a a big wicked cackle and a penchant for wearing women’s underwear! Indy Nadarajah was Widow Twanky, Aladdin’s ,mother who had a thing Mary Quant and Tina Turner outfits and for Abanaza! Joanna Bessey made a charming Aladdin, Doreen Tang a lovely Princess Paris (as in Hilton!), Joanne Kam Poh Poh was her mother The Empress of China while Monty was the Emperor, Sham Sunder Binwani was the Genie of the Ring, the talented and very little Badrul was the Genie of the Lamp, Nell Ng was Won Ton and Douglas Lim was the whacky Wishee Washee plus a gorgeous talented ensemble. Kids loved it, lots of audience participation, Booing and cheering and shouting and singing a long, and lots of risque and political humour for the adults. A clever, fun and joyous piece of music theatre.
