Eureka Day (Singapore Repertory Theatre), KC Arts Centre

A play about a parents’ committee trying to agree on something, which is to say a horror story with jokes.

Eureka Day is Jonathan Spector’s comedy about a progressive primary school where nothing happens until everyone agrees, and Singapore Repertory Theatre stages it at KC Arts Centre on Merbau Road from Wednesday 18 November to Sunday 6 December 2026. SRT bills it as Tony Award-winning. Shows are at 8pm Tuesday to Saturday and 2pm on Sundays, with an extra 6pm show on Sunday 29 November; there are none on Mondays.

The set-up: the school’s executive committee meets to settle its vaccine policy after a health scare, the meeting is streamed with a live chat, and the chat will not stay civil. SRT’s cast is Munah Bagharib, Julie Wee, Shane Mardjuki, Coco Wang Ling and Benjamin Chow, directed by Daniel Jenkins. SRT rates it Advisory for some mature content and coarse language, and has not published a running time.

Tickets: the preview on 18 November is S$58 or S$48; Tuesday to Thursday and Sunday shows are S$68 or S$58; Friday and Saturday evenings are S$78 or S$68. Youth tickets are S$28 for Tuesday to Thursday shows, excluding the preview. The show is SG Culture Pass eligible and tickets are sold through SRT. After the shows on 25 November and 1 December, SRT runs a post-show discussion with leaders from education, HR and design about why agreeing on anything is so hard. Fort Canning and Great World are the nearest MRT stations.

Why it matters: SRT describes it as a runaway hit on Broadway and the West End, and it arrives here with a Singaporean cast. It is a comedy about how adults argue, and anyone who has sat through a parents’ WhatsApp group or a condo AGM will recognise every type on that committee.

Our advice: book a Tuesday to Thursday evening; the S$58 seats are the sensible middle, and the preview at S$48 is the cheapest way in if you don’t mind a show still settling. Take the 25 November or 1 December performance if you like to argue about a play afterwards with someone other than your partner. Eat along Robertson Quay first and walk over. It is not one for children: the Advisory rating and the subject make it a night out for adults. See the KC Arts Centre page for the venue.
