Garis-Garis Pelangi (GGP) musical theatre is a musical theatre that revolves around the concept of jukebox musical. Jukebox musical performance lifts up popular recorded songs in forming a musical drama narrative. This research reveals the objective of implementing moral values in GGP through jukebox-style musical performance. Selecting the concept of jukebox musical is based on the ability of famous songs to attract and influence the audience. Therefore, it also engages and touches the audience to enjoy the story of friendship through the popular songs being played in the performance. Jukebox-style musical performance approach is based on the performance style that had flourished in the United States of America by means of producing films and theatres. Works like Jersey Boys, Mamma Mia, and Moulin Rouge are some examples that inspired the performance of GGP. Problem statement is tackled from the understanding within local artists in developing musical performances. Majority of the musicals performed did not follow through with specific concepts, prompting a confusion in the concept of musical and messages that failed to be conveyed. Thus, GGP was created and rich with moral values which became one of the main strengths of this work. Hence, the way the actors and actresses exress every message the moral values have to convey is the proof of in-depth understanding, delivery and appreciation. To further appreciate the moral values instilled, the expressions of the character applied by each actor and actress were analysed based on the dialogue deliverance through singing technique. This discussion can be a medium to cultivate moral values among the people following the demands of generations that are more easily influenced by performing arts.
