Adrian Pang will reprise his role as Lee Kuan Yew in the blockbuster production.

Previews start Sept 7 at the Sands Theatre in Marina Bay Sands. Ticket prices range from $49 to $159 and are now on sale (more info here).

The LKY Musical delves deep into Singapore history, and follows the life story of first Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew from his student days and his budding romance with the Mdm Kwa, to the Japanese Occupation and Singapore’s independence in 1965. It was first performed in 2015 at Marina Bay Sands.

Its return in 2022 not only marks the first large-scale musical production since the pandemic struck, but also Kit Chan’s return to the Singapore Repertory Theatre (SRT) stage since 2017 where she starred as the Empress Dowager Cixi in Forbidden City: Portrait of an Empress.

It’s also a reunion between Kit and Adrian, who previously starred together in SRT musical, Into the Woods, almost 30 years ago.
