CANTOPOP heavenly king Andy Lau booked a whole cinema hall to watch Michael Jackson's This Is It with his Malaysian wife Carol Choo.

It was indeed a theatre of dreams for them as they managed to avoid being hounded by the media.

They left through the back exit after the show upon knowing there were reporters at the front entrance.

Since the marriage of the couple was reported in the media in August, they have not been seen together in public.

Choo was even not seen at Lau's 48th birthday party ion Sept 27 but his parents attended the event.

It is learnt that Lau has restricted his wife from leaving their home.

Sources said that Lau had used the "rather let you know but not see" strategy to subdue the frenzy over his marriage.

Lau had paid HK$4,000 (S$717) for the 23-seat hall.

Also present were Lau's parents, assistant and over 10 workers of his company.

The cinema management had placed a "private party" sign outside the hall.
