Lead: The Attack on Titan musical world tour is official, with the stage adaptation of Hajime Isayama’s manga opening its first global run at the Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands, in Singapore from April 15 to May 2, 2027.
What happened
On Tuesday, October 13, the production behind ATTACK on TITAN: The Musical announced on its official world tour site that the show is heading out on its first-ever world tour. Singapore is the opening stop, with the engagement running April 15 to May 2, 2027 at the Sands Theatre inside Marina Bay Sands. The organizers say further cities and dates will be announced later on the official site and social channels.
The announcement came with messages from Isayama and director Gō Ueki. Isayama said that when he saw the show in person, “I was floored by its sheer power and felt that this musical adaptation was the perfect medium for telling the story.”
The creative team is unchanged: Ueki directs, Masafumi Hata wrote the book, hip-hop artist KEN THE 390 is music director, and Kaori Miura wrote the lyrics. According to The Straits Times, the Singapore run is presented by Base Entertainment Asia, will be performed in Japanese with English surtitles, and has standard tickets priced from S$58 to S$188. The paper reports priority sales for UOB card members opened on Klook on October 13, with early-bird public sales starting October 14.
The musical first played the Orix Theater in Osaka and Seinenkan Hall in Tokyo in January 2023, and Anime News Network notes its first international performance was at New York City Center in October 2024. The Straits Times describes the Japan and New York stagings as running from 2023 to 2025, so the exact count of earlier runs depends on which outlet you read. The show adapts the early chapters of the manga.
Why the Attack on Titan musical world tour matters
Attack on Titan ended its manga in 2021 and its anime in 2023, and the 2024 compilation film THE LAST ATTACK felt like a farewell lap. A world tour says the franchise still has enough pull to sell theater seats overseas years after the story wrapped, which is not something many finished series can claim.
It is also a big test for 2.5-dimensional theater, the Japanese genre that stages manga and anime with live performers, projection and stunt work. These shows are huge in Japan but rarely travel. One New York run was a curiosity; a multi-city tour that starts in a major Southeast Asian venue is a bet that the format can work as a touring product, not just a one-off export.
For artists, the musical is a useful reference point too. Seeing how a production translates Titans, Survey Corps jackets and ODM gear movement into physical costume and staging is a good reminder of how much of the series’ look depends on silhouette and motion rather than fine detail.
There is some history behind the confidence as well. An earlier stage project planned in 2017 was cancelled after a performer died in an on-stage accident, which makes the current production’s run in Japan and New York, and now a tour, more notable.

What happens next
The organizers say cast and ticketing details are on the official world tour page, and the next milestone is the announcement of additional cities and dates.
