A show of transformation and hope.
It’s a big night for Mandy. Her heart and soul — her karaoke business — is failing. In a last-ditch attempt to save it, she’s hosting a mega-event: a reunion dinner special!
Things take an unexpected turn when two women arrive. Mandy instantly recognises one as her mother, who died by suicide over two decades ago. But who is the other woman? What do they want, and why are they here? Congratulations, Get Rich! is a wild, hilarious rush that revels in the messy joy of being alive.
Penned and performed by Merlynn Tong (Golden Blood), this explosive musical comedy celebrates the vibrancy of Singaporean culture, centring on three powerful women in a supernatural tale. Directed by La Boite Artistic Director Courtney Stewart, Tong stars alongside Singapore’s Seong Hui Xuan and beloved Queenslander Kimie Tsukakoshi (The Poison of Polygamy).
Congratulations, Get Rich! is a fresh Asian-Australian story exploring transformation, legacy, and hope. With humour and heart, the show asks if we are all bound to our fate — or if we can escape our past's shadows to forge our own future.
