Out this April
The Script Live in Kuala Lumpur
April 19, Putra Indoor Stadium, Bukit Jalil,
Kuala Lumpur
The wait is over for fans of The Script as
the Irish band will be here for their first
ever concert inMalaysia. The three young
Dubliners took on the world, with music
fashioned from the emotional detritus of
their own hard lives raised up by a love
of pop, rock, hip hop and soul. Prior
to The Script, Danny O’Donoghue and
Mark Sheehan were formerly part of a
boy band called Mytown formed in 1996.
They wound up in the US, writing and
producing songs for performers including
Britney Spears, Boyz II Men and TLC.
They later moved back to Dublin, where
they recruited drummer Glen Power for
their new band The Script. Sing-along to
all your favourite The Script’s hits like
The
Man Who Can’t Be Moved
,
We Cry
and
Superheroes
at the one-night only concert.
Uda dan Dara 2015 (Musical)
April 2-5 & April 7-11, Pentas 1, Kuala
Lumpur Performing Art Centre (klpac)
As a tribute to National Laureate Dato’ Dr.
Usman Awang, Dato’ FaridahMerican sits
on the Director’s seat to bring you
Uda
dan Dara 2015
, where she played Dara
when it was first staged in 1972. Uda
dan Dara 2015 is a re-telling of the classic
Malaysian story of two star-crossed lovers
– Dara, a young woman from an affluent
family, and Uda, a young man born into
hardship. Both equally shaped and driven
by circumstance, yet both equally in love
with one another. It is a story of love,
transcending notions of wealth, class
and – in this adaptation – culture and
ethnicity.
