Last weekend, we had a chance to sit in through rehearsals of Ola Bola The Musical. My youngest son has a small role, and we wormed our way in.Based on the 2016 movie with the same name, it centres around real life events.
Back in 1980 the Malaysian national football team almost made it all the way to the Olympics in Moscow. The final match was at Stadium Merdeka against South Korea. And even when they found out during half-time they were not going to make it to Moscow even if they won, they gave it their all making Malaysia proud with their win of 3-2.
Bringing Football drama, Song and Dance together, it looks like this one is not to be missed by football fans, theater fans and just anyone who's up for good entertainment.Be forewarned, you might shed some tears of defeat and then pride.
Here we got some bits from before the magic starts on 8th February.
