Meenah and Cheenah 2gether Gather

Meenah and Cheenah are back!

2GETHER GATHER!

12 – 22 May 2022
Capitol Theatre

It’s the post-pandemic theatrical gathering everyone has been hankering for. Last seen in 2019, these two besties are biting at their leads and readier than ever to tickle you a nationalistic red and white, with all shades of pink in between. Then, it was One Meenah, One Cheenah, One Singapore! Now, in this next instalment, get set for Meenah and Cheenah 2gether Gather!

Directed by Selena Tan, and written by Alfian Sa’at, Rishi Budhrani and Jo Tan, this is a brand new show, with brand new skits, brand new insights and brand new side-splitting laughs.

With wide-eyed cheeky grins from all the nostalgia and general mischief, the superlatively talented duo – Siti Khalijah and Judee Tan – return to reprise the roles of Meenah and Cheenah – with levity and love. This hysterical comedy duo will regale you with tales of their growing up years, of a time when everything was stress-free, worry-free, and most definitely Covid-free!

Exhausted from all the fear and loathing of the pandemic? Frustrated with the ever-changing rules and regulations? Need an escape from all the pivoting? Well then, come together at the Capitol Theatre to catch Meenah and Cheenah 2gether Gather!
