The Lord of the Rings – A Musical Tale will make its Asian premiere in Singapore.

The musical was first staged in 2006 and revived in Britain in 2023. Following incredible reviews in the US and New Zealand, the critically-acclaimed show is set to enchant audiences at the Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands, from 12 to 24 August 2025.

This epic production, based on J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved fantasy trilogy, will be told from the perspective of the Hobbits, once again following Frodo Baggins, a humble hobbit entrusted with the fate of Middle-Earth, as he takes on the treacherous mission of destroying the One Ring.

The musical boasts an impressive creative team, including original music by Academy Award-winning composer A.R. Rahman, Finnish folk band Varttina, and Tony Award winner Christopher Nightingale.
