The summer holidays may be coming to an end, but judging by this weekend’s happenings, Hong Kong is still in party mode. From a musical with a diverse cast to a non-binary fashion show, there is something for everyone.

1. Sing Out – A Musical 2024

In 2017, three Hongkongers teamed up to create an uplifting musical that swept the boards at the 27th Hong Kong Drama Awards.

This year, the trio – composer Leon Ko, lyricist Chris Shum and playwright Candace Chong – have reunited for a new version of Sing Out – A Musical, which features around 70 young people of various ethnic backgrounds and physical abilities.

The play revolves around a diverse student choir that dares to dream big. It is presented by Excel, a non-profit subsidiary of the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts.

“Sing Out – A Musical 2024”, Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Grand Theatre, Aug 23-24, 7.30pm, Aug 24-25, 2.30pm. Tickets available through Art-mate.
