Penned and performed by Merlynn Tong (Golden Blood), this larger-than-life musical comedy celebrates the richness of Singaporean culture, while asking universal questions about the complexity of mother-daughter relationships and the healing power of vulnerability.
It’s a big night for Mandy (Tong), her last ever at the helm of her beloved karaoke bar. To celebrate, she’s hosting a one-night-only mega reunion special! That is until the ghosts of her mother and grandmother show up and Mandy’s best laid plans are foiled. For better or worse, Mandy will need to forge her own future.
Under the direction of former STC Resident Artist and La Boite Artistic Director, Courtney Stewart (The Poison of Polygamy), and featuring a glorious cast including Zac Boulton, Kimie Tsukakoshi, and Seong Hui Xuan, Congratulations, Get Rich! will witness three powerful women of very different eras compete, commiserate and confront each other through stories, showmanship, and song (this is karaoke after all).
1hr 30min. No Interval.

Wharf 1 Theatre is on Level 2 of The Wharf. The majority of patrons will enter via Doors 1 and 2 which can be reached most directly via the lift at the end of The Wharf. This provides level access from the exterior apron of The Wharf at Ground Level, right up to the Theatre on Level 2.
We also have a level access point to Wharf 1 Theatre through Door 3 for people seated in A row, which allows patrons to go directly into the theatre. Access to Door 3 is only on request and these requests should be made at the Box Office at the time of booking.
Level access to Level 1 is via any of the three lifts along the exterior of The Wharf. Each of these lifts can be accessed via ground floor, however the lift at the end of The Wharf provides the most direct access.
