“I love music and I realise that everyone has a love of sorts for music. Everyone has memories related to music. Everyone has a soundtrack to his or her life,” said Sean Tobin, Associate Artistic Director of The Necessary Stage, in an official press release.

And Sean has put his love for music to good use, as he sets out to use his musical memories, together with those of co-creator Natalie Hennedige, to bring “these memories to life through musical drama”, in Sing Song.

Presented by The Necessary Stage and the South East Community Development Council, Sing Song boasts seasoned performers like Kumar and Lim Kay Siu alongside musical talents taken from the community that include a cappella group Tic Tac Tone and deaf songwriter, Jonathan Teo.

“Music arguably is the 'art form' that reaches most people and is most integrated into life. I love the idea of musicals but tend to greatly dislike most musicals I ever watch because of their frivolity so I have always been interested in seeing how the musical theatre form can come in different manifestations,” said Sean.

Six months since its conceptualisation, Sing Song is ready to be enjoyed by the public. It promises to exhibit a kaleidoscope of human emotions through music from “victory and defeat” to “celebration and devastation”. It showcases life from its “turning points, seasons, times and friendship been and gone” and the “romance, break ups, birth and death”.
