Geography Project on Wicked part III

Did you know that there are five worldwide official "Wicked the Musical" company's ;Wicked USA (New York as mentioned in the previous post), Wicked London, Wicked Singapore, and Wicked The Netherlands.

Singapore is an island of 646 sq km, which is roughly the size of Chicago! It is located at one of the crossroads in the world! This position has helped it grow into a major centre for trade, tourism's and communications!

But to be exact, Singapore is located 96km north of the equator, between the longitude 103 degrees 36' East and 104 degrees 25'East.

Singapore has been referred to as an "concrete jungle" number of times, because close to 90 percent of the population are living in flats and an ever-changing skyline of monumental buildings. However, Singapore has also been known as a green city.


Two causeway bridges link Malaysia, which is just north of Singapore. The key islands of the Riau Archipelago of Indonesia are also just a quick ferry trip away however Thailand and the Philippines are a short plane journey away. There are over 69 airlines working in the airport in Singapore, which is the gateway to Southeast Asia.

The climate of Singapore is humid and warm with temperatures ranging from roughly 23 degrees to 31 degrees Celsius. This makes it ideal for those who enjoy sunbathing, swimming, sailing and other water sports. But if you are someone who does not enjoy this tropical climate, Singapore is sheltered from the worst effects of the sun with air-conditioning in almost all of its buildings. including restaurants. Rain also falls throughout the year with more consistent rain during the monsoon season from November to January. These showers are usually sudden & heavy, but brief and refreshing.


Another interesting fact I learned about Singapore is that it is 8 hours ahead in the GMT!

Lastly to finish up with this post, is to leave you with another fabulous song from Wicked! "No-One Mourns the Wicked", enjoy!
