Don’t Miss This Year’s W!ld Rice Pantomime!

Once upon a time, in a kingdom not so far away, ruled a vain and pompous Emperor who was crazy about his clothes, himself and little else.

So obsessed with fashion was he that he decreed that the 50th anniversary of his reign be celebrated with the most extravagant National Dress Parade of all time.

But, as he primped and preened, he neglected his music-loving citizens, who could only get his attention by complimenting him on his appearance.

One day, two cheeky tailors discover a dark secret in the Emperor’s palace and decide to teach him a lesson.

Presenting the Emperor with an eye-popping ensemble literally woven out of thin air, they convince him that only the smartest and most competent people in the land can see it.

What can be done to stop the nation’s biggest wardrobe malfunction?

Why won’t the Emperor’s courtiers and the aristocracy speak up? Is there anyone who’s brave enough to tell the naked truth?

Following its smash-hit production of “Monkey Goes West”, W!ld Rice puts a Singaporean spin on Hans Christian Andersen’s timeless tale about the ultimate fashion victim.

Directed by Pam Oei, “The Emperor’s New Clothes” is a brand-new musical with a razor-sharp script by Joel Tan and a sparkling score by Julian Wong.

Its stellar cast includes Lim Kay Siu as the Emperor, Benjamin Kheng of The Sam Willows, Singapore Idol’s Sezairi and Siti Khalijah Zainal – all playing musical instruments live on stage!

Fun and laughter never go out of fashion.

Don’t miss the most hilarious, heartwarming musical of the holiday season!
