It’s time to return to Huxley Secondary School as the critically acclaimed local production by Checkpoint Theatre, Secondary: The Musical, hits the stage once again for a brand-new run. The story follows a young teacher, Lilin, played by Genevieve Tan, as she navigates a stressful school term alongside her students Ming, Omar and Reyansh. It's a poignant look at the realities of teachers and students in Singapore, and unpacks the pressures of the nation’s tough education system and the emotional challenges most teens face while at school and at home.
Secondary, created by playwright-composer weish and directed by Huzir Sulaiman, debuted in 2024. It went on to earn six nominations at the 2025 ST Life Theatre Awards and won Production of the Year. The 2026 restaging also stars Tricia Tan, Krish Natarajan, Rebekah Sangeetha Dorai, Teoh Jun Vinh, and more reprising their roles.
