Apart from extending its apology for the inconvenience and disappointment which the cancellation may have caused, the company also expressed its gratitude to those who have continued to support the local performing arts community which had been severely impacted over the last two years due to Covid-19.
PGL The Musical which made its debut at Istana Budaya in February 2006, was co-directed by Datuk Zahim Albakri and Adlin Aman Ramlie, with music by Dick Lee and lyrics by Adlin.
Restaged in August 2006 and February 2009, it is based on Enfiniti's 2004 movie Puteri Gunung Ledang.
Set in the late 15th century, the musical tells the story of a Javanese princess from Majapahit who falls in love with a Malay warrior from Melaka, Hang Tuah.
