Forever Young: Singapore’s Take on a European Classic

Ever wondered what happens when you sprinkle a little Singapore flavour into a beloved European cult hit? Meet Forever Young, the musical that promises to make both old-timers and pop‑heads laugh, cry, and maybe even sing along to some nostalgic tunes.

What’s the Buzz About?

Originally penned by Swiss playwright Erik Gedeon and lovingly adapted by Benjamin “Mr Miyagi” Lee (yes, that’s the same guy folks nicknamed after the karate guy), “Forever Young” takes the spotlight to Singapore’s own eldercare scene. Picture a stage where classic pop hits get a fun twist, all set to highlight the joys and challenges of caring for our seniors.

Meet the Cast: A Reunion of Talent

  • Hossan Leong – director and the maestro behind the curtain.
  • Karen Tan – a familiar face who brings her signature charm.
  • Gurmit Singh – making a grand return to the theatre after a 16‑year hiatus.

With these seasoned performers, you’ll catch a mix of hilarious moments and heartfelt performances that showcase how carving a stage for eldercare can be both uplifting and relatable.

Why You Should Not Miss It

Humor and Heart: Expect the stage to be packed with witty banter, playful renditions of sing‑along classics, and genuine moments that touch your heart.

Social Spotlight: The musical doesn’t just entertain—it shines a light on an important social theme that’s increasingly relevant in our bustling city.

The Epicises Delight: Get ready to be amazed by the artistry and theatre magic that the cast delivers.
