Broadway Beng: 10th Anniversary Concert
Hamsum Ah Beng Sebastian Tan is back to celebrate 10 years of East meets West. You’ve seen him before at a teeny tiny theatre at Robertson Walk and once again at the Esplanade. Now, he will melt your heart once again with his powerful getai voice at the red carpet Capitol Theatre. There will be humour, nostalgia, lots of Hokkien show-tunes, a backing band, and a group of all-singing, all-dancing chio bus!
Broadway Beng: 10th Anniversary Concert is running from 14 to 31 July 2016 at Capitol Theatre. For more details, check out the event page here.
