Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's wife Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali has given the thumbs up to the Tun Mahathir musical, saying it was well-executed and highly entertaining.

She said it was well-scripted and one of the finest musical performances she had seen.

"I am amazed and fascinated by the music and choreography and the individual performances of the cast.

"I express my deepest thanks for bringing to life the story of Dr Mahathir (Malaysia's fourth prime minister) on stage," she told reporters after witnessing the musical at Istana Budaya in Kuala Lumpur last night.

Siti Hasmah was accompanied by Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin's wife Noorainee Abdul Rahman and Information Communication and Culture Minister Rais Yatim and his wife Maznah Rais.

The musical opened yesterday and ends on Oct 4.
