MPO presents Stephen Rahman Hughes
Stephen Rahman Hughes sings gorgeously
By Noorsila Abd Majid
Stephen Rahman Hughes wears many hats. Come this weekend, the multi-talented British actor/singer/choreographer will collaborate with the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) in a musical extravaganza at the Dewan Filharmonik Petronas (DFP).
Themed a Broadway night, Stephen will be flexing his vocal chords on classics like Over The Rainbow, West Side Story - Maria, Journey Home and Don't Cry For Me Argentina.
Trust us, the droolicious British-Malay hunk sounds as good as he looks.
"I enjoy singing as much as acting and dancing," Stephen told The Daily Chilli. "The last time I sang was two months ago. I did a jazz gig in London."
But forget about the 40-year-old doing any songs from his smashing musical, Puteri Gunung Ledang. Stephen says he still can't sing or speak in Bahasa Malaysia well. "The next time I come to Malaysia for a long stay, I will hire a private tutor to teach me Bahasa. I seriously want to improve my Malay."
Instead, he will do a cover of Susan Boyle's I Dreamed A Dream.
Tickets to his performance on March 12 and 13 are priced at RM95, RM75, RM55 and RM25. Showtime begins at 8.30pm.
There is a matinee show on March 14. Tickets will go for RM85, RM65, RM40 and RM20. Showtime is at 3pm.
