Pangdemonium

Whether it is giggles or full-on guffaws, we are betting audiences will have a rather hard time putting on their best poker faces while watching Dealer’s Choice. Pangdemonium!’s latest lies somewhere in-between their past two productions – the raucous macho bravado of The Full Monty and the dark dissection of complicated human relationships seen in [...]

Play about men who seek thrills in playing poker is a winner The title of this play is Dealer’s Choice but judging by its winning qualities it could well be called Reviewer’s Choice. In its sophomore Patrick Marber outing, Pangdemonium! has produced a confident, ballsy production that lays bare the lives of a group of [...]

The musical, about a bunch of laid-off steel workers who form a strip club to make ends meet, stripped the male ego to lay [...]

A Well-Rounded Debut Production THE FULL MONTY, the debut production of Pangdemonium!, which was founded by Adrian Pang and his wife Tracie, brought out more than Pang’s hidden singing talent, with an ending to look forward to. Each of the six main characters brought top-notch acting skills, even theatre newbie Ebi Shankara, who charmed us [...]

Let’s cut straight to the chase: The Full Monty is pants-down the most fun I’ve had all year! The show’s greatest strength is the charm of its mischievous central premise, and hits all the right notes, whether it is setting up hilarious comedy situations, firing off zingers or taking pot-shots at the foibles of this [...]

Energetic cast, clever script and solid lyrics make for a romp that ends with a fuzzy glow For a debut production from Pangdemonium, this is an ambitious start: a full-scale musical with a cast of 20, full-on singing and dancing, and full-frontal nudity. The name of the group that the characters form is Hot Metal [...]
