Lea Salonga as Cinderella: The musical.......anyone? Ü

Tweet

Has anyone here seen this classic musical play as performed by the world-renowned Ms. Lea Salonga? I wasn't that lucky yet to have enough moolah to buy patron tickets for me and my parents but i can very well assure you that even if you paid PHP7,000 for that show with a complete running time of just 2 hours or so (excluding the break), it is worth every cent you've spent =) In the second act, wherein the fun and music and dancing started, when you just look at the stage, it was like a wow experience just seeing them. I like the fact that the musical became more interesting when they gave it a modern touch by adding some comic acts to it. Although from the middle to the latter part, it seemed that the prince and Cinderella's love story was rushed to the end; It was not like that it had a slow progression as their love blossomed. I'm not sure if you get my point. Another thing i didn't like was their very mushy/corny lines when previously they were like in the modern era already. They had lines such as, (the prince pertaining to Cinderella)"Why is the color of your hair the only color that a girl's hair should be?" And you know the not-so-classic pick-up lines that have turned to super cliches they used in the script. But overall, it was stunning - a must see for the whole world: all ages and all race. =)
