This April, theatre audiences in Singapore can look forward to Sing’theatre’s production of [title of show], a witty, fast-paced, Tony-nominated musical that turns the creative process itself into the main event. Equal parts hilarious and heartfelt, the show follows two writers racing against the clock to create a brand-new musical… about writing a musical.
At first glance, it’s a clever meta-comedy. But beneath the sharp humour lies something deeply relatable. [title of show] captures the anxieties, deadlines, and friendships that shape the artistic journey — themes that resonate strongly with anyone who has ever tried to make something from scratch. In a time when creative voices are more important than ever, its message feels especially timely.
Adding to its appeal, the production is SG Culture Pass eligible, making it an accessible and exciting option for audiences looking to explore local theatre.
Directed by Eric Larrea and produced by Nathalie Ribette, this Singapore staging brings together a dynamic cast of homegrown talents: Andrew Marko, Daisy Anne, Rino Junior John, and Vanessa Kee. With just four performers, the show relies on razor-sharp comedic timing, strong chemistry, and emotional authenticity — all of which this cast delivers in spades.
The story centres on Jeff and Hunter, two struggling writers who stumble upon an opportunity: a new musical theatre festival with a submission deadline just three weeks away. With no clear idea but plenty of ambition, they decide to take the leap. Enlisting their friends Susan, Heidi, and Larry on the piano, they begin the daunting process of creating something entirely new.
What follows is both chaotic and inspired. As the clock ticks down, Jeff and Hunter grapple with the question every creator knows too well: what do we write about? Their eventual answer — to write about exactly that — sets them on a journey that is as self-aware as it is sincere.
The title itself comes from the blank space on the festival application form asking for the “[title of show],” perfectly capturing the musical’s playful, self-referential spirit.
Ultimately, [title of show] is more than just a comedy. It’s a celebration of creative risk, collaboration, and the courage to start before you feel ready. Whether you’re a theatre lover, an artist, or simply someone who enjoys smart, feel-good storytelling, this production promises an evening of laughter, honesty, and inspiration.
[title of show] plays from 15th to 25th April 2026 at Alliance Française Theatre. Tickets available from SISTIC
