Directed by Franco Tsang, and produced by HKCC’s Music Director Kathy Fok and Head of Artistic Coordination Vivian Suen, the long-awaited musical can achieve such great success and be well received by the audience, a big round of applause must be given to all the casts on stage, as well as all the staff behind the screen, who had rehearsed and worked so hard for months striving to present a perfect piece of work to everyone. Support and understanding from all parents are also greatly appreciated throughout the preparation of the musical.

King of Singers happens in a future ruled by AI robots. Humans are treated as inferior creatures and not allowed to learn how to sing. In the legend, there is a secret hidden in the ancient treasure vault that can take control over the AI. However, only a human voice that possesses extraordinary musical skills can open the vault and become the “King of Singers”.
