Preview: A French Kiss in Singapore by Sing’theatre

Starting off their 2025 season on a bang, Sing’theatre is set to bring back crowd-favourite A French Kiss In Singapore this April. Created by George Chan and originally staged in 2013, A French Kiss In Singapore is a musical that celebrates the artistry of four of France’s most beloved contemporary songwriters and performers—Charles Aznavour, Serge Gainsbourg, Jacques Brel, and Charles Trenet. Their timeless classics, immortalised by legends like Frank Sinatra, Liza Minnelli, and David Bowie, will transport you on a journey through love’s many twists and turns.

A French Kiss in Singapore beautifully captures the humorous, touching, and unpredictable nature of love, blending French elegance with a distinctly Singaporean flavour. Through a series of unforgettable performances, this musical revue illustrates love’s many facets—from joy to heartbreak—with wit, tenderness, and plenty of flair, with a blend of laughter, tears, daring sensuality, and thought-provoking moments. This show will entertain, inspire, and leave you humming these iconic tunes long after the curtain falls.

Starring some of Singapore’s finest musical theatre talents, look out for Hossan Leong, Amin Alifin, Andrew Marko, Dwayne Lau, and Rino Junior John as they bring you captivating performances, including an exhilarating tap dance number to remember. Nathalie Ribette, Artistic Director of Sing’theatre, shares her excitement: “This production brings to life one of our most treasured shows, celebrating 60 years of friendship and shared history between Singapore and France. It’s a heartfelt tribute to the bonds that unite us.”

Directed by Hossan Leong, the musical will transport you through an emotional rollercoaster, with unforgettable numbers like Seasons in the Sun, Beyond the Sea and I Love You Me Neither. Whether you’re a lifelong Francophile or simply a lover of great music, A French Kiss in Singapore promises a one-of-a-kind evening of entertainment.

A French Kiss in Singapore plays from 17th to 27th April 2025 at the SOTA Drama Theatre. Tickets available from SISTIC
