OlaBola The Musical, the stage adaptation of director Chiu Keng Guan's hit 2016 movie OlaBola, opens on Feb 8 at Istana Budaya, Kuala Lumpur and runs until Mar 11. Directed by Puan Sri Tiara Jacquelina, the ambitious show is based on the true story of Malaysia's national football team Harimau Malaya that dreams of making it to 1980 Olympics.

The show features an ensemble cast that includes Stephen Rahman-Hughes, Iedil Putra, Douglas Lim and rapper Altimet. Star2's Life Inspired team sat with Tiara, Stephen, Douglas and Raja Malek to talk about the project. For this interview, we spoke with the show's actor and special movements choreographer Stephen – who first worked with Tiara as her leading man in 2006's critically acclaimed box-office smash Puteri Gunung Ledang The Musical.
