Randall Craig Fleischer led the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra in a program of Broadway favorites from such shows as Gypsy, My Fair Lady, Cabaret, Cats, Chicago and Phantom of the Opera.
Of the experience, Noll says, "It's incredible to travel and experience new cultures and new foods. To do that and get to sing for new audiences is a double bonus! Kuala Lumpur is a modern place with all sort of comforts that you would find in any major city. The symphony and the hall are world class. I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to visit this amazing city!"

The Petronus Towers and the view from my hotel!! Not bad. I know they are supposed to be taller than the Twin Towers were but they didn't seem it. Much smaller footprint. The concert hall is in the base.

I had heard about this treatment but I'd never seen it. These fish eat the dead skin off the feet of anyone who dares to enter their pool! It tickles!!!
