LIFE IS... THE MUSICAL V2.0

LIFE IS… The Musical

LIFE IS… is a hopeful, Malaysian musical that reaffirms the strength of the human heart, exploring how a sudden diagnosis can change everything we believe to be true in our lives. Expect humour, outlandish moments, and heartfelt storytelling, as we celebrate the connections that sustain us, honours the losses that shape us, and embraces the beauty of living fully. This production is a testament to the power of storytelling and the strength found within community.

You can watch clips, highlights, and sneak peeks from behind the curtains over on the KLMC Youtube channel.

KLMC

The Kuala Lumpur Men’s Chorus was founded in July 2022, and now comprises 35 male voices from across Malaysia and beyond. Our goal is to build great community bonds through the media of song, dance and choirhood. We sing original, bespoke arrangements tailored towards emerging male voices. 

The KLMC’s creative vision is directed through the originality of Vale V Wong and Tomos Nicholls who compose especially for the choir, uniquely combining Asian classics with western pop hits. The musical direction of KLMC promotes the choir to prioritise community outreach through musicianship and showmanship.
