The Actors Studio Presents:

BROADWAY PARODIES LAGI LAH! Malaysian Spoofs of Songs from the Musicals

With sikit pinjam konsep from the Western “Forbidden Broadway” spoof show, The Actors Studio proudly presents “Broadway Parodies Lagi Lah!”, a rich rojak of slices of Malaysian life garnished with a big splash of humour and served up on a platter of great songs. A Malaysian feast of spoofs that is sure to fill your stomachs with laughter!

BROADWAY PARODIES LAGI LAH! Malaysian Spoofs of Songs from the Musicals

What Is It?

A fun filled revue of well known song and dance numbers in which the lyrics have been spoofed to showcase and celebrate a range of uniquely Malaysian culture, characters and icons. Chicken Rice, the Good Morning Towel, the Bomoh of the Bursa - kind of like Reggie Lee and C W Kee’s World cartoon characters in lyrical form. And with a hugely talented cast, fantastic Broadway style choreography and both live and computer sequenced musical backing, BPLL promises to repeat its runaway success of last year and again be the show that everyone will want to see!

Why Lagi?

BPLL is a reprise of “Broadway Parodies Lah!” which The Actors Studio presented in May 2007. All ten performances were completely sold out, which generated tremendous calls to restage the show.

Is it the same cast?

The original cast members were asked if they would be available to perform in BPLL, and Sabrina, Glamorique and Soon Yoon were able to say yes. Choreographer Farah Dato Sulaiman also agreed to come back on board, as did Edna Tan for Production Design and Dominique Devorsine for costumes. Of the others, it is understood that Cheryl is studying, Doreen is starting a family, and Kyra and Ivan are overseas. Douglas and Joanne have famously tight schedules and various projects needing their attention! Auditions for new cast members attracted a wide range of both existing and exciting new talent that we anticipate will bring a more musical and visual dimension to the show – more Broadway but still very much LAH!!

Will the show have the same songs as last time?

Predominantly yes, though some new ones have been added. New ones include Under The Tree, The Roti Man, and Tai Tai Spenders.
