We love the theatre! Here's where we keep track of all the upcoming theatre shows, concerts, musicals and events for kiddos happening throughout the year.
Looking for kids’ theatre shows in Singapore? I am obsessed with taking my kids to see musicals, plays, and performances, so it’s my job to list out the best shows in Singapore for the whole family to enjoy. Not only do big productions, gorgeous costumes, and lively tunes enthral the kids (and offer up insta-worthy pics of the day out!), theatre experiences create cultural awareness, an appreciation for the arts, and most importantly, everlasting memories for the whole fam. Seeing a live musical or concert is also an excellent opportunity to inspire your little aspiring thespian or musician to get into the performing arts. Plus, escaping to the theatre is a perfect thing to do with the kids when the weather’s bogging you down. Here’s a rundown of what to expect this year – check back regularly for real-life reviews when the shows open. Make sure you bookmark this list, as I add new shows when they are released every month!

On his way to fitting in, he didn’t tell the whole truth, and now he must give up on a life he never dreamt he’d have.
