Catch this family-friendly spectacle by Liver & Lung

Liver & Lung, the celebrated creators behind Sepet The Musical and Melur The Musical, have announced the latest addition to their musical theatre repertoire set to charm audiences this 2024, it is none other than Sang Kancil & The Dragon King.

A Enchanting Tale

A tale that intertwines the enchantment of folklore with the vibrancy of a Malaysian playground, Sang Kancil & The Dragon King promises to be an exciting adventure for the young and the young-at-heart.

Set in a colourful playground in TTDI, the musical tells the story of Ben, an ordinary schoolboy with an extraordinary talent for painting. Ben loves the playground and is heartbroken when he finds out that it is soon to be demolished and replaced with a concrete monster, a condominium.

The Artistic Misfits

Ben’s quest is amplified by misfits, including a clueless tiger, conniving crocodiles, and the imposing Dragon King, who threatens to wash away the joy of the Lunar New Year celebrations. Sang Kancil & The Dragon King is set to show at PJPAC from 29 February to 10 March 2024.

The musical will star Joshua Anthony Gui, from Sepet The Musical fame. Collaborating with Liver & Lung once again, Joshua will play Ben/Sang Kancil, the musical’s protagonist. Joshua will be joined by Putrina Rafie, who recently starred in ‘Fault Lines’ at PJPAC and Phraveen Arikiah, recipient of the 2020 BOH Cameronian Arts Award for Best Supporting Performance.

A Original Production

The musical will feature original music and lyrics, a colourful blend of traditional and contemporary sounds. Shafeeq will develop the musical with frequent collaborator Irena Taib, musician in local indie-band The Impatient Sisters and Ji Yong. The musical will be produced by Su En Hoh.

Liver & Lung invites everyone to embrace their inner child as ‘Sang Kancil & The Dragon King’ wrestles with childhood’s endearing beauty, the richness of variety, and the pure joy of creating and overcoming challenges. The performance is designed to be interactive and spectacular, offering ripples of laughter and imagination.
