TJ & Sam spill the tea on Moonlit City, Toy Factory Productions’ English-language musical inspired by the love story of Lee Kuan Yew and Kwa Geok Choo.

We watched the show on opening night, Friday 14 August 2026, at Victoria Theatre — and this one left us with a lot to talk about.

With an important Singapore story, familiar xinyao music and a major local production behind it, expectations were high. But for us, Moonlit City missed the mark, leading to our lowest score for a Singapore theatre production to date.

In this episode, we unpack the storytelling, characterisation, music, staging and performances, and ask why a show with so much potential left us so disappointed.

🎭 Moonlit City plays at Victoria Theatre until 30 August 2026.  ...
