Six souls. 72 hours. One moment to rewrite. WAIT! is Nasthasia Faure’s latest original musical, mixing heartbreak, humour, and dazzling French flair with the energy of Hong Kong, posing the question: What would you do if time gave you another chance?

Four people rehearse on a stage. One woman at the center gestures dramatically with her arm raised while holding a script. Another woman stands to her left, smiling, and two men sit on a bench watching. All are dressed in black against a dark backdrop. — *The talented cast of WAIT! at rehearsals.

On the mythical River Styx, a poet, a shady businessman, a young fighter, a teenage dreamer, a long-awaited one, and a glamorous singer with a secret are given 72 hours to relive a single moment. Choices, regrets, and second chances collide in a whirlwind of music, dance, and emotion.

Nasthasia Faure, creator and composer of WAIT! the musical, leads a Nab Music creative session. She reads from a script beside a laptop and Yamaha keyboard, surrounded by colourful children’s artwork, reflecting her vibrant artistic process. — *Creator of Wait!, Nasthasia Faure.

The musical reimagines French classics with a contemporary twist, with choreography crafted by the talented Anisha Thai, Manna Cheng and Pauline Ramet, combined with direction from Stéphane Lam and Agnès Seelinger, transforming the stage into a vibrant fusion of music, dance, and theatre, celebrating both French culture and the spirit of Hong Kong.

With over thirty artists bringing this cosmic, witty, and moving story to life, attendees can expect a truly unforgettable night of connection and creativity.

Saucy Says: "Forget Netflix for the evening and indulge in a night of French finesse, Hong Kong rhythm, and a story that proves time isn’t the only thing worth chasing."
