The Nutcracker ballet at KLPAC last night was ULTIMATELY EXTREMELY ABSOLUTELY ABYSMAL I was on the verge of setting the whole place on fire. I don't even know where to start complaining. Oh I know, how about the fact that instead of using the original Tchaikovsky score they mixed their own awful songs to blast into our ears?! Seriously, I was gritting all 28 of my teeth (i have no mandibular third molars aka wisdom teeth - should i be concerned, by the way?) thanks to the sheer volume of the music GOODNESS ME it was so bad I almost went deaf. Then the ballet itself was SO BELOW PAR it was horrifying. OK la to be fair the principal dancer who played Clara was pretty good but that was it. I am not a ballerina or an expert in the art but since I am neither blind nor stupid, I know when pirouettes aren't done nicely or when the dancer doesn't completely execute her splits. Oh then what about the dances which the kids were involved in? Don't get me wrong, the kids were cute blablabla, but OHMYGOODNESS their dances were terrible. They just kept going in rounds and jumping up and down over and over again that I'd rather go watch a Malay concert I KID YOU NOT. I mean it would've been fine if they had stuck to the original Nutcracker suite which we were all looking forward to, because then we could just ignore the ballet and sit back to enjoy the music. BUT NO! They only used about 2 or 3 songs from the suite! FRUSTRATINGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.
WAIT WAIT WAIT BUT I HAVEN'T EVEN COME TO THE WORST PART YET.
THE WORST PART WAS..........................
.......................... THAT WE FREAKING PAID RM60 FOR THE SHOW.

*takes deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep breath*
Do you know how much we could've done with that RM60?! Seriously lor you ask me to go for free also I wouldn't want to go. It was even worse when Tracy said she watched the actual Russian ballet's version of The Nutcracker for RM10. :-/
Bloody shit.
I HATE LAH HATE HATE HATE. They effectively ruined my favourite ballet. I WANT MY MONEY BACK.
