Numberblocks – A Family Musical in Singapore: Why Parents with young children should watch this

What Is Numberblocks?

If you have young children, you’ve probably heard of Numberblocks or seen it looping endlessly on YouTube, Netflix, or other streaming platforms. Created by the UK’s BBC, Numberblocks personifies numbers through playful characters and simple storytelling, helping children understand foundational numeracy.

It is not difficult for the colourful characters and songs to quickly grab a child’s attention, but parents who have seen the programme will surely agree that its strength lies in how it introduces numbers and early maths concepts in a way that feels fun and natural rather than instructional.

The Live Musical Experience

The good news is that Numberblocks – A Family Musical will be staged in Singapore for the first time at the Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands, on 7 and 8 February 2026. The production brings the animated series to life through live singing, dancing, orchestral music and interactive elements, with visual design and storytelling guided by original creator Joe Elliot to ensure it remains true to the educational heart of the show.

The musical opened to strong acclaim, following its world premiere in South Korea, securing the number one ranking in ticket sales for children’s and family performances.

Audiences in Singapore can look forward to:
● Live performances with singing, dancing and orchestral music
● Interactive elements that let children engage directly with the characters
● Immersive stage visuals with projection mapping and media art

Why you should take your kids to watch Numberblocks live

Having accompanied my children to watch it for countless hours, Numberblocks – A Family Musical would be a great opportunity for families to enjoy an immersive and educational performance together. For families unfamiliar with the series, the upcoming musical offers an accessible entry point, one that may even encourage children to continue exploring numeracy, which can only be a good thing. In other words, if your kid has no interest in math, or can’t seem to grasp basic concepts, Numberblocks might just be the key to unlocking the puzzle!
