Enter the world of Oz—magic and adventure await!
Calling all theatre enthusiasts—Singapore’s stage is set to dazzle with a thrilling lineup of musical productions that will captivate both seasoned Broadway fans and first-time audiences alike. From timeless classics to fresh adaptations, this year’s schedule promises spectacular performances that will leave you buzzing long after the final curtain falls.
Last year, the stage was ablaze with unforgettable productions like Hamilton and Mamma Mia!, bringing Lin-Manuel Miranda’s powerful storytelling and ABBA’s timeless hits to life. But the excitement doesn’t stop there. In 2025, some of the most beloved musicals of all time—Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, and Sunset Boulevard—will take center stage alongside an exciting adaptation of Lord of the Rings.
Must-Watch Musicals Coming to Singapore
Sunset Boulevard
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard transports audiences to the golden age of Hollywood, where fading silent film star Norma Desmond clings to dreams of returning to the limelight. As she crosses paths with struggling screenwriter Joe Gillis, their passionate yet destructive entanglement leads to a tragic end.
Based on the classic 1950 film, this reimagined production stars Broadway icon Sarah Brightman alongside Tim Draxl, delivering a mesmerizing tale of fame, obsession, and heartbreak.

A timeless masterpiece, Phantom of the Opera makes its highly anticipated return to Singapore. This haunting tale of love and obsession follows the enigmatic Phantom, whose fixation on his gifted protégé Christine unfolds into a breathtakingly tragic romance.
Starring Jonathan Roxmouth as the Phantom and Grace Roberts as Christine, this production brings Webber’s legendary score—including The Music of the Night—back to life on stage. Having won multiple awards, including a Golden Globe for Best Picture and Best Original Song in 2005, Phantom of the Opera remains an enduring classic.
