The actors have to jump into many different characters, which requires a huge amount of skill. We are so fortunate to have some of the best Musical Theatre talents that Singapore has to offer. Not only do they need to be amazing singers, dancers and actors, they also need to play musical instruments as all of the music in the show is played by the cast on stage!”

This staycation package not only offers a much-needed respite through laughter and song, but it also extends support for the Arts, for the people that create these shows.”
