The last time Miss Saigon graced Singapore’s stage was 23 years ago at the Kallang Theatre. The beloved tragedy will be making its return this August for a limited period of time. Miss Saigon first premiered in 1989, and tells the story of a Vietnamese bargirl, Kim, and her romance with an American Marine sergeant named Chris. The two eventually get married, with Chris promising to take Kim back to America with him, only for the two to be separated after the fall of Saigon. Don’t miss this spectacular musical – after this run, it might not be back for another 23 years.
NDP is over for the year, but you can still feel the Singapore spirit at a couple of National Day-themed events.

Or support local artisans at Sentosa Festival Market's Made In Singapore edition, where you can check out over 25 local vendors selling beachwear, accessories, and quirky crafts. Besides these Singapore-themed events, there are also rooftop silent discos for Swifties, tragic musicals, and an all-out Bollywood party on Siloso Beach. Scroll down for all the best things to do this weekend.
