2025 musicals, theatre shows, and comedy acts in Singapore
1. Theatre: Kimberly Akimbo
17 October – 2 November 2025
Hilarious, heartbreaking and deeply human, Kimberly Akimbo is a must-watch if you want all the feels. Meet Kimberly, a 15-year-old going on 16 who looks decades older, thanks to a rare genetic disorder that accelerates ageing. Not only is she navigating a chaotic journey with high school, a dysfunctional family and her shady aunt’s schemes, she’s also racing against time to complete her bucket list as her unique biological clock ticks away.
This heartfelt story is adapted by Pulitzer Prize-winner David Lindsay-Abaire from his own acclaimed play featuring gorgeous music by Jeanine Tesori. As one of Broadway’s most celebrated new musicals, it has clinched five Tony Awards including Best Musical in 2023, and might be that feel-everything musical of the year.
