I had the privilege to attend the Premiere Gala of Alice in Wonderland at Shaw Lido last evening.
When I arrived, I was intimidated by the sheer number of people there.
I think I was late because there was no queue when I collected my tickets from the Nuffnang booth. However, another queue of people waiting to enter the theater has already formed, and snaking around the place.
The turnout was greater than I had expected and silly me had initially thought that this Premiere was exclusive to Nuffnangers. Then, it dawn upon me that there could be people who got tickets through other sources.
Because it was the Premiere, we had to surrender our mobile phones, cameras and even MP3s to security. As long you have a device that could record, it has to be turned in.
Security was tight and no bags were left unturned.
Even while watching the show, there were security personnel patrolling along the aisle, making sure no one is filming secretly so that pirated copies could not reach the makeshift stalls before the movie officially hit the theaters on the Fourth of March.

I have to mention that Anne Hathaway’s portrayal as the White Queen was hilarious.
All in all, Tim Burton didn’t disappoint but the only letdown was that we didn’t get to enjoy the show in 3D.

Nevertheless, thanks to Nuffnang for the invitation!

sian..i also want to watch!!
@samantha – Go watch! It’s opened today!
@tekkaus – It’s my first time to encounter this.
This is a Literature classic…probably just a fantasy kind of thing. I just wonder the significance of all those peculiar things in the story.
@suituapui – It’s just to keep the children reading the book occupied. Must have something interesting to grab their attention so that they will keep on reading, I guess.
