Joel Wong could not have been happier. As one of the performers of the recently concluded concert Yesterday Once More 3 at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPac), Wong recalls the thrill of performing again in front of a live audience.

Directed by Ian Chow, Yesterday Once More 3 was KLPac’s first live show since the movement control order (MCO) began on March 18. The government announced on June 22 that live theatre shows were allowed to restart from July 1.
