Born and raised in Singapore, Cheeyang Ng is an award-winning singer-songwriter who writes at the intersection of queer, Asian and immigrant stories.

Fat, Femme & Asian is a celebration of words deemed undesirable in many spaces and a reclamation of these identities. The show explores why Cheeyang Ng became a writer, specifically for musical theatre, and what stories excite them as we reimagine a new landscape for epic Asian stories.
Fat, Femme & Asian features the cast of Roshani Abbey (West End: Hamilton), Desmonda Cathabel (UK Tour: Aladdin), Diya Sohi (TV: The Beaker Girls), Aaron Teoh (Movie: Wicked) and Sonya Venugopal (Broadway & UK Tour: Life of Pi).
Directed by Nina Zoie Lam (Broadway’s Miss Saigon, Marvel’s Hawkeye), with music directed by Yshani Perinpanayagam (Royal Opera House).
“I am so thrilled to be bringing my work to London and sharing it on the global stage. Cannot wait for London audiences to experience epic Asian storytelling.”
