Hello to the first weekend of December! There are drinking events, festive markets and the much-awaited Legacy Music Festival to check out this weekend!
Theatre: Sweeney Todd – The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
All weekend
Tony Award winner and OG Disney queen Lea Salonga transforms into Mrs Lovett in the award-winning musical thriller Sweeney Todd – The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. We’re all familiar with Helena Bonham Carter’s portrayal in Tim Burton’s movie version, but with her serious acting chops and pipes, we’re confident that Salonga’s going to crush it.
Sweeney Todd – The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, various timings, Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands, 10 Bayfront Ave, Singapore 018956
Experience: Christmas Wonderland
All weekend
You’ve probably spammed your phone over the years with countless pictures of the iconic luminarie light sculptures. Clear up that memory space as Christmas Wonderland is back with more mind-blowing sights and activities for the whole fambam (we hear there’s going to be a 21-metre tall Spalliera). But if you really want to get in the festive mood, don’t leave without taking a stroll ‘round the Festive Market or enjoying the snowfall during Blizzard Time and ice skating under the stars. Carnival games and kid-friendly rides will also be making a comeback.
