NEW BAHRU PRESENTS: DON’T CALL HIM MR. MARI KITA
6 to 31 August 2024
The Ngee Ann Kongsi Theatre @ Wild Rice
Tickets: www.wildrice.c...
Written & performed by Julian Wong
Directed by Ivan Heng

Zubir Said made history with his music. In 1958, he composed Majulah Singapura - the iconic song that has galvanised our nation, and is still sung all over the island to this very day. But there is so much more to Zubir Said’s remarkable career than the song that has come to define it.
In this joyful, moving and inspiring celebration of Zubir Said’s life and legacy, Julian Wong - one of Singapore’s most acclaimed music directors - pays loving tribute to his teacher’s teacher. Accompanied by some of our country’s most accomplished musicians and young vocalists, Julian will bring you the best of Zubir Said’s songbook - from beloved classics like Semoga Bahagia, Sayang Disayang and Orang Singapura, to rare musical gems long thought to have been lost forever.
Following a critically acclaimed sold-out run in 2022, Don’t Call Him Mr. Mari Kita returns to The Ngee Ann Kongsi Theatre for a strictly limited final season. Directed with keen insight and visual flair by Cultural Medallion winner Ivan Heng, this production incorporates archival footage from Singapore’s golden age of cinema and stunning period costumes to evoke the style and glamour of a 1960s television variety show.
Come and meet the man behind the melody we all know by heart. You’ll never sing ‘Mari Kita’ in the same way again!
Duration: approximately 1 hour 20 minutes (with no intermission)
Recommended for patrons aged 6 and above
