The 7/8 Musical Collective is a contemporary theatre collective that specialises in the musical theatre genre. Made up of professional musical theatre nerds with decades of industry experience locally and internationally, the collective’s focus lies in developing a contemporary musical theatre voice in Singapore, through producing contemporary musical theatre works and engaging in the development and incubation of new works.
We believe musical theatre to not only be a great form of entertainment for audiences of diverse backgrounds, but also a meaningful and effective medium for audiences to both immerse themselves in a different world, and to use that experience to reflect upon the world they live in. The powerful combination of the immediacy of dance, the transcendence of music, and the intellectual and emotional core of character and storytelling, help make the immersive and transformative experience of a musical not only possible, but probable. This is what we hope to bring to our audiences. That and some good ol’ musical entertainment, of course!
The 7/8 Musical Collective believes in seeking continued ways to improve, ideate and innovate in the field of musical theatre in order to push the boundaries and possibilities of the art form, to achieve excellence through outstanding professional practices, and, in so doing, to bring the works we create to more audiences in Singapore and beyond.
