A lot can happen after Happily Ever After…
One day of marriage. Ten years of separation.
Another suitor lurks in the wings.
Is true love really worth the wait?
Will the soldier ever be reunited with his virtuous wife?
The pioneers of Singapore Mandarin musicals are BACK with a highly-anticipated restaging of Lo Pei-An's The Soldier & His Virtuous Wife.
Inspired by the traditional Yuan opera Qiu Hu Flirts With His Wife, this Mandarin musical comedy combines Chinese Opera aesthetics with campy humour and musical theatre flair, deftly helmed by director Kuo Jian Hong (Lao Jiu: The Musical, If There're Seasons…, Liao Zhai Rocks!). Starring Joanna Dong, MengFM's Cavin Soh and Ric Liu, and Sugie Phua, this is one show that'll have you walking down rolling in the aisles!
