Called Singapura - The Musical, the show will be produced by The 4th Wall Theatre Company.
The musical will travel to London’s West End and Broadway in New York following its Singapore debut.
A private and invitation-only “listening preview”, featuring a number of songs from the musical, will be held later this month.
The plans for Capitol Singapore — which comprises the former Capitol Theatre, Capitol Building, Capitol Centre and Stamford House — was announced at a topping out ceremony held today (April 3).
Following the S$750 million makeover, the development will comprise a luxury 157-room hotel, an upmarket retail mall, 39 high-end residences as well as Capitol Theatre, which will have close to 1,000 seats. CHANNEL NEWSASIA
