Sister Act Weekend Marina Bay Sands
You’ve worked hard all week—now it’s your time to play..real hard. Make the most of these precious 48 hours (and, well, Friday night) by partying till your heart's content, be it at the theatre, Zouk or Zumba-ing at Marina Bay.
SISTER ACT
Till 28 May, at the Mastercard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands
Remember Deloris van Cartier, the aspiring disco diva who got put into protective custody in a convent where she rocked up a storm? The movie we all loved, Sister Act, is back, and brighter than ever, but this time on stage as a five-time Tony-nominated musical that makes its glorious debut in Asia. Celebrate the power of friendship with a night of motown, soul and funk anthems that will have you dancing in your seats.

VILLAGE PEOPLE 40TH ANNIVERSARY LIVE TOUR

Get ready for some “Y.M.C.A” fun at their 40th anniversary concert, as original founding members—native American, Felipe Rose and G.I, Alexander Briley—bring down the house alongside the cop, cowboy, biker and construction worker.

MYRIAD—SOLO EXHIBITION BY CHERIE A BITANGA

This exhibition of 10 portraits paint a picture of modern nonyas, interpreted by the kaleidoscopic eye of Cherie A Bitanga. The Filipino artist made Singapore home in 2010, and has captured the colours that bloom not just on the traditional kebayas her subjects don, but on their flower crowns, beautiful faces and within them, as diverse hopes and dreams, and vibrant heritage.
