Hi Huneybees, 


What if the famous Shakespeare love story we all know so well had a different ending where Juliet chose her own fate? Remix it with some of the most iconic pop songs of the last three decades, comes an uplifting story of self-discovery, empowerment, and love - & Juliet.

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene...

Base Entertainment Asia is excited to announce that & Juliet, is coming to Singapore for a strictly limited season from 21st September to 8th October 2023 at Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands, for its Asian premiere! & JULIET is produced by Michael Cassel Group in association with MTM/Leyline and presented in Singapore by Base Entertainment Asia.


From the writer of Netflix’s Schitt’s Creek - David West Read; directed by Luke Sheppard (In the Heights); music from legendary five-time GRAMMY® Award-winning songwriter/producer Max Martin; choreography from Jennifer Weber and stunning set design from Soutra Gilmour, & Juliet has taken Broadway and West End by storm, winning 3 Olivier Awards and an impressive 9 Tony Awards nominations under its belt.


The show takes a fresh and contemporary look at Juliet taking control of her own destiny and embarks on a journey of self-discovery. It also includes many other extremely relevant overarching themes for the community we live in today, including empowerment for both women and men and inclusivity; presented by a diverse cast that also has members from the Aboriginal, Filipino, and Sri Lankan communities. 


You'll be enjoying a fun night of storytelling as Juliet’s hilarious and inspiring new story bursts into life through a playlist of pop anthems including  “Since U Been Gone‚” “Roar,” “Baby One More Time,” “Larger Than Life‚” “That’s The Way It Is,” and “Can’t Stop the Feeling”.

Catch West Side Story Before It Goes

| |
Hi Huneybees,


Rivalry, violence, blood and bluster with the cliché Romeo and Juliet-esuqe storyline, comes the high energy production of West Side Story production that's heating up the Mastercard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands.


With an all American cast, including those from Broadway, you can the authentic feel of what used to be the 1950s New York with its rival gangs of the White (The Jets) and Puerto Rican (The Sharks) youths on the streets.


A blend of theatre act with the powerful balletic choreography of Jerome Robbins against the beautiful set that's constantly moving to suit the scenes and giving not only ample stage space but also adds on to the dramatic perspective of each scene.



This production comes as a reminder in this troubled times, skin colour difference doesn't mean that we are better or stronger. Everyone has the same body features and each culture can learn and share amongst each other. 


So what if Tony and Maria are of a different ethnicity? It's the difference that drew them together, they found love, they sang of the same tunes, so the age old question - "why can’t we all just get along?"

I've always heard so much of the West Side Story, heard the songs (which I managed to sing along), but have never got to catch the movie, nor the play till this date. I'm happy that I got the chance to do so at an age where I could fully comprehend the message behind this tragic play.

Without spoiling the plot further for Huneybees, here are some of the pictures taken off the play at the media preview for your entertainment. 






The West Side Story is currently showing nightly at the Grand Theatre, Mastercard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands till the 30th of September. (You can still catch it while you can!!)
Tickets are from S$55 to S$185  and can be purchased via Sistic website.
