The musical unfolds the late Mokhtar's life's events, with energetic performances
from the STAR:
A MUSICAL depicting the life of the late Malaysian football icon, Mokhtar Dahari, has sparked to life in SuperMokh The Musical.
Directed by Hans Isaac and Harith Iskander, the musical portrays the legend’s life on and off the field, and the challenges faced along the way.
During a recent interview with StarMetro, Harith explained that the idea for the musical was mooted by Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.
He said he and Hans faced with many challenges in producing the musical.
“Each show has its own challenges,” said Hans, adding that it was tough to show a football game, Stadium Merdeka and houses from that era on stage.
“We tried to keep the storyline as accurate as possible,” said Harith, adding that only two fictional characters were added to the story.
“Apart from that, the chronology of the events is fairly accurate.”
Preparations for the musical include meeting his wife, children, siblings as well as former coach and team-mates.
He said to understand the legend, they watched the documentary by National Geographic on Mokhtar and read books about him.
Harith said he believes that the crux of a good musical lies in the drama portrayed.
“Mokhtar was a fairly quiet person,” said Harith.
“As such, the dialogues were dramatised but not overly, especially during his illness.
Hans said they chose to depict the story in the form of a musical as music added depth to a story.
Other challenges faced include raising funds for the show.
“Support from the public really helps our production,” said Hans, adding that they were lucky to have found sponsors to support them.
“We want to to produce a show of this level again,” he said.
Hans said the cost of production was just under RM3mil.
He said when it came to naming the lead actor, Awie’s name was the first choice.
“We enjoy working with him,” said Harith.
“Awie is cooperative and this makes our work easier,” said Harith, adding that Awie was a committed actor.
Choosing the supporting cast proved to be challenging, he said, as they wanted the actors to resemble the characters.
They said a problem faced was that not many could both sing and act.
“The musical is not really a football story,” he said, adding that it encompassed Mokhtar’s life on the whole.
The production has several elements, such as comedy and even a live band playing to add to its appeal.
“Hopefully our audience will be entertained,” said Hans.
The producers said they admired Mokhtar
“We want to recognise what he did for the country,” said Hans.
