May 2025
Gelato & Giggles: RASA’s Comedy Night Pop-Up
21 May

PSA to comedy lovers (and dessert fiends): RASA at Republic Plaza is swapping beats for belly laughs with Gelato & Giggles, its first-ever comedy night happening on 21 May. For one night only, this city bar transforms into a full-blown pop-up comedy club, complete with a killer international lineup and a scoop of gelato on the side.
Headlining the laughs is none other than Jocelyn Chia, the Singapore-raised, NYC-based comedian known for her bold punchlines and Comedy Cellar cred, alongside Netflix’s Kavin Jay, whose grumpy-guy energy has earned him fans from KL to London. They’re joined by Giorgy Gunawan, Indonesia’s wildcard comic with a chaotic streak and deadpan delivery that’ll have you wheezing. Holding it all together? Local host Jacky Ng.
Tickets are $35 with a standard drink, or $40 if you want a scoop of gelato thrown in (obviously, you do). Doors open at 5pm, while the show starts at 8pm. We suggest getting in early for the best seats, because sugar and stand-up are a dangerously good combo.

Hendricks' Sunset Cinema
8 - 25 May

PSA, cinema lovers: Hendrick’s Sunset Cinema is making its glorious return to Sentosa’s Tanjong Beach this May, and it’s your sign to swap stuffy theatres for sandy toes and seaside views. Running from 8 to 25 May, this alfresco movie night under the stars is everything we love: award-winning flicks, DJ soundscapes, comfy deck chairs, and yes, a cheeky Hendrick’s cocktail in hand. The film lineup’s stacked with gems like The Substance, We Live In Time, Wicked, and the much-hyped Gladiator II, but the real magic starts before the screen lights up. Come early, soak in golden hour with DJ Stephen Day spinning sunset vibes, and grab dinner and cocktails on the beach. You’ll even get a wireless headset (silent disco vibes!) to tune out chatty seatmates.
Tickets are $44.80 and include a welcome cocktail, reserved seating, and post-movie shuttle back to Vivo. Fair warning, it sells out fast. Book it, grab your mates, and escape to a beachside paradise where your movie night feels like a mini vacay.
The Phantom Of The Opera
9 May - 15 June

Since then, it has won over 70 major theatre awards and has been seen by more than 160 million people in 46 territories and 195 cities. It is widely considered one of the most spectacular productions of all time.

It’s a raw and resonant look at identity, belonging and the need to be seen, wrapped up in soaring vocals and tear-jerking moments. Trust us, this one hits hard.
