Juwita’s maiden voyage into the world of theatre receives notable reviews today!

“Professional singer Suwito shines as Mary in the production - her maiden effort

Their combined voices are mesmerising while their acting is authentic.”
- The Malay Mail -

 “Highlights of the show were Suwito’s beautiful, tear-jerking renditions of 
Be It Unto Me and Beautiful Child”
– The Star -
