CAMERON MACKINTOSH’S LES
MISERABLES
If you’ve dreamed a dream
about Les Miserables hitting our
shores, wait no longer. Set to stay
for a limited season, director
Cameron Mackintosh breathes
theatrical life in one of the world’s
most popular musicals. 19th
century France is caught up in
a revolution, and the musical
paints the picture of human
spirit through song, dance, and a
moving script. Theatrical actors
are starring in this, so there’ll
be no cringing over Russell
Crowe’s vocals here. Esplanade
Theatres, tickets from $58,
available on SISTIC.
JUNE 16 – 19
BEERFEST ASIA 2016
Beer enthusiasts, ready
your livers because the
biggest annual beer
event is returning to our
shores. For its eighth
advent, Beerfest Asia 2016 presents over 400 varieties
of international commercial and craft beers, stouts,
ciders and some spirits across three days of tippling
fun. Fringe activities like stand-up comedy shows, and
live music spanning a plethora of genres will liven up
the night as you take your gut on a tour of the world’s
boozy best. Marina Promenade, tickets from $30,
available on beerfestasia.com.

GABRIEL IGLESIAS LIVE IN SINGAPORE - #FLUFFY
BREAKS EVEN WORLD TOUR
Californian stand-up comic who was last here
in 2012, Gabriel Iglesias is back again in
Singapore. This time, he presents a hilarious
non-scripted comedic documentary, where the
comic eats on the road alongside hilariously
eccentric tour mates, Martin Moreno, Rick
Gutierrez, G Reilly and Alfred Robles, and
attempts to burn off the calories each time with
absurd methods that’ll get your ribs cracking.
Re-hashing his tubby and proud persona,
Fluffy, Iglesias’ show will shed new light on the
comedy behind eating, loving it, and losing it.
Star Theatre, tickets from $78, available
on SISTIC.
