Secondary: The Musical Audience and Media Reviews:
Checkpoint Theatre’s greatly anticipated 2024 season opener was lauded by educators, students, parents, and people of all ages and backgrounds for its incredible authenticity and sensitive yet accurate handling of the complex tensions of the Singapore school experience. Audiences streamed out of every one of the 11 performances with high praise for every element of the production – from the music to the set and costume designs, to the acting and directorial vision, and so much more – and, often, humming snatches from one of the original songs featured in the musical.
“An effortless script captures the casual nature of how students talk without sounding cringey… Matched with a solid cast… the play is highly engaging and memorable… It is with a standing ovation that the musical ends, fitting for a show that packs a massive amount into two hours and 45 minutes. Between the immensely talented cast and powerful story, Secondary: The Musical is one to catch.”
– The Straits Times
“It is an entertaining, funny yet poignant local production, which gave me an immense sense of pride as I stepped out of Victoria Theatre as a Singaporean audience.”
– Ong Ye Kung, Minister for Health
