It’s not just about concerts put up by your favourite artistes; there’s more to watch and see in Singapore! Musical and theatre productions are unique alternatives to your usual date nights and family days. And with so many popular Broadway shows coming to Singapore in 2025, you’d best secure whatever tickets you can while they’re here! Who knows if or when they’ll ever return?
1 – 15 November 2025
Last year, I was lucky enough to score free tickets to Dear Evan Hansen when it came to Singapore — and I’m so glad I went. This musical doesn’t follow the typical uplifting Broadway formula. Instead, it delivers an emotionally intense, honest look at teenage life, anxiety, loneliness, and the desperate desire to be seen.
The story follows Evan, a socially anxious high school student who unintentionally becomes the centre of a tragedy involving a classmate’s death. When a letter he wrote to himself is mistaken for a suicide note, Evan gets caught in a web of lies. What begins as a small act of comfort spirals into something much larger and more complicated.

This one’s a dream come true for me. Beauty and the Beast has been my favourite fairytale ever since I was a child. I’ve always loved the music, the romance, and the message that true beauty comes from within. The 2017 movie remake was a visual treat, but now that the full-scale musical is coming to Singapore as its only Asia stop, I am thrilled.
This new production promises everything we love about the Disney classic, with an added layer of theatrical magic. Audiences can expect stunning visual effects, breathtaking new sets, and dazzling costumes that bring the enchanted world of Belle and the Beast to life like never before. The iconic songs — “Be Our Guest,” “Gaston,” “Beauty and the Beast,” and more — will be performed live, backed by a full orchestra and spectacular choreography.

With music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, you know this is a classic. But that’s not the only reason why many are turning up for Sunset Boulevard. There’s also… Sarah Brightman. Whether you’re in the scene or not, that name should ring a bell. Originating the role of Christine Daaé from Phantom of the Opera, Brightman is no doubt a soprano to be reckoned with.
This time, Brightman is starring as Norma Desmond, a film star who’s faded out of the spotlight and now longs to make a big comeback. She meets Joe Gillis, a young screenwriter, who she sees as her potential key to return to the game, bigger than ever. Sunset Boulevard will follow the two as they navigate the ups and downs, the highs and lows, and many more milestones in their relationship. Let Brightman serenade you with her goosebump-inducing vocals as she performs hits like With One Look and As If We Never Said Goodbye.

I caught WICKED the last time it was here. I wasn’t into the whole Wizard of Oz thing but my friend convinced me that it was a must-watch. Granted, admission was free for me too (hehe). But I was really enchanted by the musical – the songs and lyrics, costumes, dances and everything was simply magical.
It’s no wonder the musical has won over 100 major awards, and that includes three Tony awards and a Grammy! Let’s not forget that there’s also been a tear-jerking movie with a part two on the way! But I say hearing the cast sing the songs live in a theatre is something so unique; you can’t substitute it for anything else.

You can’t not know about Phantom Of The Opera. It’s too much of a classic – not knowing it is akin to being unaware of your national anthem. I was first exposed to the musical thanks to my mum’s love for it. But being in the school choir also meant that I was going to be singing some of the songs. So when I found out about the special airing of the 25th anniversary recording during the coronavirus outbreak in 2020, I made sure I set all the reminders and alarms for it.
I was in awe, astounded by Sierra Boggess and Ramin Karimloo. And I knew that one day, if or when the musical comes by, I was going for it regardless of ticket prices. The day came, and my tickets have been secured. It may be my second musical of 2025, but you can’t excuse yourself when it’s a Broadway legend – the longest-running show in Broadway history! They were last here in 2013 and 2019, seemingly a six-year gap in terms of frequency. But let’s not bet on it, why not just go this year and go again six years later? You won’t regret it!
Ticket price: $88 – $288
