K-popped! attends High School Musical: The Ice Tour

Hello friends, guess what Orchid and I were up to this afternoon? We went to Disney’s High School Musical: The Ice Tour show at Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil!

Premium items: The box of popcorn costs RM10, while the
crushed ice flavoured with raspberry syrup (your choice of red or blue)
+ HSM straw cup costs RM20. They were selling like hotcakes since
outside drinks and food weren’t allowed onto the premises.

I know, I know, there’s nothing K-popped! about High School Musical: The Ice Tour, except when Orchid and I gleefully reminisced about the time we got K-popped! at the very same stadium during Rain‘s concert last year.

Ahh, look how far we’ve come…I get misty-eyed thinking about that night — we were so close to the stage, we could see the sweat rolling down Rain’s taut chest. Oh, joy.

Happy memories aside, here’s a picture essay of what happened earlier this evening at the high-energy ice show. We did not buy the show’s programme book, which was selling at RM40…or was it RM45? I can’t remember.

But before we start with the picture essay, 감사합니다 to the kind person who gave us free tickets to the show .

Arrival: We take our seats and reminisce about how close
we were to the stage during Rain’s concert in Jan 2007

HSM fans & family: Since it’s the school holidays many
children made up the crowd

3 minutes: Ah, three minutes to showtime! Whoo hoo!

Wildcats!: That’s the name of HSM’s basketball team.
When I see the logo, I’m reminded of…Thundercats! Hoooooo!

Songbird: Gabriella (on platform) looks on as her schoolmates
dance

Gettin’ jiggy: Ryan shows off his nifty moves

Break it on down: Heating up the dancefloor on
ice skates. Incredible!

Ta-da!: And with that flamboyant move, Act One comes to an end.
Time for the 10-minute (I think) intermission

Maintenance: The two guys (arrows) were resurfacing the rink

Melt already: Our ice-crush “drink” wouldn’t melt. So annoying especially
when we were so thirsty

Guardians: Ushers surrounded the rink (arrows) during intermission
to prevent ultra hyper kids from getting into it for a twirl

What Time Is It?: ‘Summertime, it’s our vacation’…
that was the only song I knew

Spotlight: HSM: The Ice Tour team start their summer time vaykay

Holiday: ‘Yay, let’s go crazee, but mind the pots and pans.’

Skaters all: ‘Thanks for coming to the show!’

Applause: Take a bow!

Goodbye!: HSM: The Ice Tour will be showing in Malaysia
from Aug 15 – 20. Details are all here.
