Set in the 60s-80s, “I HAVE A DATE WITH SPRING - THE MUSICAL” follows the dreams, hope, aspiration, love, trials and tribulations of four singers who became the dearest of friends while working together at a well-known nightclub. Butterfly Liu, the celebrated singer, returns to her home town for the first time in years to perform a benefit concert at the soon-to-be-closed night club. The club holds precious memories. With her return to the club for the last time, Liu must come to terms with the ghosts of her past, some of which may have unfinished business with her.

Overview
“I HAVE A DATE WITH SPRING - THE MUSICAL” is a Cantonese musical adaptation of the nostalgic and heart warming critically-acclaimed stage and movie productions, which won the Best Screenplay at the Hong Kong Film Awards. In this Malaysian production, Dama's musical adaption sets around the night club scene in the 60s to 80s. A strong cast of 30 very talented actors/actresses - led by Tan Soo Suan in the principal role of BUTTERFLY LIU - bring the dramatic story to life in this memorable staging through high drama, exquisite music and beautiful Chinese Oldies songs.
