Base Entertainment Asia, in association with Kevin Wallace Productions, GWB Entertainment, Middle-earth Enterprises, Tim McFarlane, KHAM Inc., People Entertainment Group, The Watermill Theatre, and Chicago Shakespeare Theater, are thrilled to announce the Singapore cast for The Lord of the Rings – A Musical Tale. Based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic trilogy, this stage production will make its Asia Premiere with a limited season from 12 to 31 August 2025 at the Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands.
Bringing the iconic characters of Middle-earth to life is a distinguished cast of actor-musicians, led by Rarmian Newton as Frodo Baggins, Wern Mak as Samwise Gamgee, Laurence Boxhall as Gollum, Terence Crawford as Gandalf, and Jemma Rix as Galadriel – a familiar favourite with Singapore audiences, having previously captivated theatregoers as Elphaba in WICKED and Elsa in Disney’s Frozen The Musical.
In a unique artistic approach, the cast not only performs as actors but also as live musicians onstage. Unlike traditional musicals accompanied by an orchestra in the pit, The Lord of the Rings – A Musical Tale features over 20 instruments played live by the performers themselves, creating a deeply immersive theatrical experience.
This talented ensemble presents a fresh interpretation of Tolkien’s trilogy, told through the eyes of the Hobbits. The story begins in the peaceful Shire, where Bilbo Baggins celebrates his eleventy-first birthday and gifts his nephew Frodo a mysterious gold ring, an act that sets in motion a perilous quest across Middle-earth to the shadowy lands of Mordor. Alongside his loyal Fellowship, Frodo embarks on a journey that tests courage, loyalty, and the enduring power of friendship.
Joining the principal cast are Rob Mallett as Strider, Andrew Broadbent as Saruman / Elrond, Hannah Buckley as Pippin, Stefanie Caccamo as Arwen, Rohan Campbell as Boromir, Jeremi Campese as Merry, Ruby Clark as Rosie, Connor Morel as Gimli, Conor Neylon as Legolas, and Laurence Coy as Bilbo.
Rounding out the company are ensemble members: Georgia Anderson, Lillian Bennett, Gianna Cheung, David Cuny, Cameron Davey, Natasha Dumlao, James Frampton, Anthony Garcia, Jonathan Gardner, Emily Hackney, Matt Hourigan, Hanlon Innocent, Esther Lukins, Patrick Schnur, James Whiting, and Zayneb Zerzouri.
Based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s Book Trilogy, The Lord of the Rings – A Musical Tale weaves a rich and emotionally resonant tapestry of story and song. Featuring original music by Academy Award winner A.R. Rahman (Bombay Dreams, Slumdog Millionaire), Finnish folk band Värttinä, and Tony Award winner Christopher Nightingale (Matilda the Musical), the musical creates a powerful and immersive soundscape that draws audiences deep into Tolkien’s world.
Produced by Kevin Wallace Productions and Middle-earth Enterprises (MEE), under license from MEE, the exclusive worldwide owner of motion picture and stage rights to The Lord of the Rings, the musical features book and lyrics by Shaun McKenna (Maddie, La Cava) and Matthew Warchus (Groundhog Day).
Tolkien’s characters have resonated with readers for more than 70 years thanks to their humanity, vulnerability, and strength. Reflecting that enduring appeal, the musical emphasises the power of people coming together, respect, kindness, and a deep sense of community – themes that play out not only onstage but also in the connection between the performers and the audience.
The Lord of the Rings – A Musical Tale offers an intimate and heartfelt storytelling experience. In this interpretation, the characters are relatable, and the themes resonate, engaging audiences of all ages, from lifelong Tolkien fans to those discovering Middle-earth for the first time.
