Attack on Titan: The Musical will launch its world tour in Singapore, with a limited run at Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands, from April 15 to May 2, 2027.
The production will mark its Southeast Asian premiere and first engagement in Asia outside Japan. Performed in Japanese with English surtitles, the musical brings Hajime Isayama’s bestselling manga to life through live vocals, choreography, action sequences and stage effects.
Singapore will be the opening stop on the world tour, with further dates and locations to be announced.
Set in a dystopian world where humanity shelters behind enormous walls, Attack on Titan follows Eren Yeager and his friends as they join the military to fight the Titans: gigantic, man-eating creatures that threaten humanity’s survival.
The musical covers the story’s early chapters, from its beginning through the Battle of Trost, with some events rearranged for the stage. Fans can expect appearances by familiar characters including Mikasa Ackerman, Levi, Erwin Smith and Hange Zoe.
Directed by Gō Ueki, the production features a script by Masafumi Hata, music supervision by hip-hop artist KEN THE 390 and lyrics by Kaori Miura.

Rather than using songs from the anime’s original soundtrack, the musical features original songs written specifically for the production.
It belongs to the Japanese theatrical genre known as 2.5-dimensional musicals, which translates the characters and worlds of two-dimensional manga and anime into live, three-dimensional performances.
