SINGAPORE - Gurmit Singh will return to the stage as an actor after 16 years, playing himself at 106 in a musical about a bunch of retired thespians in a nursing home.

Sing'Theatre's Forever Young, set in 2071, opens on Sept 22 at the Drama Centre Theatre and will see the 56-year-old comedian and others play themselves as zany geriatrics. When their no-nonsense caregiver Sister Sara leaves the room, they burst into song, belting tunes such as Jay-Z's Young Forever, Amy Winehouse's Rehab and Aqua's Barbie Girl.
