Our 1,712 seater theatre was the renowned venue for notable international acts such as Les Miserables, Cats, Chicago the Musical, Miss Saigon and Phantom of the Opera. It has housed concerts, ceremonial functions, university convocations and many more. From 1986 to 2000, the Kallang Theatre hosted the annual National Day Rally. Former Prime Ministers, the late Lee Kuan Yew and Goh Chok Tong held their National Day Rallies at the theatre. To this day, the room used by the Prime Ministers – the “Lee Kuan Yew Room” as it is called, remains as one of the best kept rooms in the building. The Kallang Theatre took a four year hiatus in March 2007. Before re-opening the theatre in 2011, the new management, Asia Arts & Culture Pte Ltd. invested about S$1.5 mil in renovations which included the installation of a brand new audio and lighting system. The opening took off with the maiden local musical “Singapura - The Lion City”.
