[Theatrical Show] The Mongol Khan Gala Night at Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands

 The highly anticipated theatrical drama, The Mongol Khan, is now showing in Singapore for a limited season until 3 November 2024. Jayce and I had been looking forward to watching it ever since we last attended the production and graphic novel launch event back in June. Read post here

Proudly presented by Base Entertainment Asia, following a sold-out run at the London's Coliseum, The Mongol Khan is a highly acclaimed production born from a collaboration between world-renowned international artists and creatives.

With performances offered in both English (Mandarin subtitles) and Mongolian (English and Mandarin subtitles), this epic performance brings together over 70 actors, dancers and musicians are involved in this large-scale production featuring lavish sets and costumes, ensuring an authentic and engaging experience that resonates across cultures. 

The cast of The Mongol Khan includes Hollywood talents Ron Yuan as Archug Khan, Mark Dacascos as the Chancellor and Leonard Wu as Achir Prince alongside producer and international actress Bayra Bela as Queen Tsetser with performances in English. Renowned Mongolian stars Dulguun Odkhuu and Zana Gankhuyag add depth as The Consort and Khuchir Prince, respectively with performances in Mongolian.  

I'm thrilled to attend the Gala Night of The Mongol Khan held at The Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands with Jayce again. As it was an 8pm show, we had some sushi dinner in the office after work before making our way down. We spotted some familiar faces and celebrities, and there was even an official photographer stationed to take photos. The gala night was truly exciting.

As the gala night performance was in Mongolian, I had to rely on the English and Chinese subtitles displayed on the screens. I sometimes struggled to keep up with the translations during captivating scenes. Overall, the performance was simply awesome, offering a unique glimpse into Mongolia's rich cultural heritage and history that engages the senses.

The 160 minutes (with intermission) show is a mesmerizing theatrical adaptation of Lkhagvasuren Bavuu's three-act tragedy, set in ancient Mongolia 2,000 years ago. Combining dazzling costumes, high-energy dance, acrobatics, puppetry, soulful songs, and passionate acting, the fictional story of ruler Archug Khan unfolds amidst a backdrop of jealousy, rage, betrayal, adultery, all brought to life by breathtaking lighting effects and elaborate stage set, making this a truly captivating play. 


Highly recommended for anyone interested in culture, history, and breathtaking entertainment - 'The Mongol Khan' is a must-see! Check out the Marina Bay Sand's website for the full synopsis of this show.
