The Banter: Tracie and Adrian Pang talk about Pangdemonium in a pandemic

With the work from home and circuit breaker measures in place over the last few months, most of us are already familiar with dragging ourselves out of bed to attend the next Zoom meeting, only to find ourselves ‘waiting for the host’, bemoaning how we could have slept in just a little more. It’s no wonder then that it’s already the subject (and title) of … Continue reading The Banter: Tracie and Adrian Pang talk about Pangdemonium in a pandemic

Review: The Son by Pangdemonium!

★★★★☆ (Performance attended 22/2/20) Sometimes, love just isn’t enough.  For a play that’s titled The Son, it’s interesting how it ends up becoming a show that reveals far less about the eponymous son than it does about the people surrounding him. In Pangdemonium’s latest production, Nicolas (Zachary Pang), a troubled 16-year old, seems to be undergoing problems far bigger than the usual dose of teenage angst. His recently … Continue reading Review: The Son by Pangdemonium!

Preview: The Son by Pangdemonium!

Ass-kicking theatre company Pangdemonium! is back this February to start their 10th anniversary on the scene with Florian Zeller’s The Son (translated by Christopher Hampton). Following on from their sold-out production of Zeller’s The Father in 2018, The Son shifts the focus from mental illness in the aged to mental illness in the young, much like how they started with Late Company in 2019, which dealt with a teenage suicide. … Continue reading Preview: The Son by Pangdemonium!

Review: Urinetown by Pangdemonium

Piss-perfect performance to round off Pangdemonium’s 2019 season. If Les Miserables was the musical that brought the romance to revolution, then Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis’ Urinetown is almost certainly the one that takes the piss out of it. Wrapping up Pangdemonium’s 2019 season, Urinetown is the rare satirical musical that dares to poke fun at the musical genre and convention, yet, is in itself a more than competent production … Continue reading Review: Urinetown by Pangdemonium

Pangdemonium’s Urinetown: An Interview with the Cast and their Pee-rs

Urinetown may be a work of fiction, but with issues such as a “cross-border water crisis” and being set in “the most expensive city in the world”, it bears more than a pissing passing resemblance to a certain place far closer to home. As Pangdemonium gets ready to present this raucous, campy musical satire (which won Best Book and Best Original Score at the 2002 Tony … Continue reading Pangdemonium’s Urinetown: An Interview with the Cast and their Pee-rs

Preview: Urinetown – The Musical by Pangdemonium

Following their mid-year production of original play This is What Happens to Pretty Girls, Pangdemonium rounds off the year with one heck of a splash with multiple-award winning musical satire Urinetown.  Gleefully taking the piss out of politicians, populism, “people power”, capitalism, corporate corruption, and musicals themselves, local audience members may find more than a passing similarity to home as Pangdemonium immerses them in a fictitious “most expensive city … Continue reading Preview: Urinetown – The Musical by Pangdemonium

Review: This Is What Happens To Pretty Girls by Pangdemonium

Grey areas abound as Pangdemonium addresses the ugly truth of sexual assault. When NUS student Monica Baey posted about her traumatic experience with a campus Peeping Tom on Instagram in April 2019, she set off a nationwide social media storm that has seen supporters and detractors both rallying behind her call for justice, and condemning her for kicking up a fuss, with perceived ulterior motives … Continue reading Review: This Is What Happens To Pretty Girls by Pangdemonium
