This is exactly why Pangdemonium is a theatre company in a class of their own: they take us on unpredictable, enthralling journeys not only with every single production, but also in their entire exciting, evolving body of work. After the roller-coaster ride that was their 2014 Season (with the laugh-out-loud, in-your-face Fat Pig; the big, brassy nostalgia trip back to 1974 Singapore of Little Voice; culminating with the gut-wrenching Frozen) they now spring this gem of a surprise on us.

Circle Mirror Transformation is Pangdemonium at their warmest, most tender and most fun - but in the midst of all the laughter, still packing an emotional punch that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. Tracie Pang once again displays her versatility and sensitivity as a director, guiding her perfectly-cast ensemble (of seasoned pros and exciting new finds) into mining every nuance of the piece, to create very real and relatable characters, and to tell this story humanely and movingly. A true theatrical delight!

Pangdemonium has raised the bar again! Miss it and you'll regret it!

It makes me so happy that @pangdemonium is a thing! Circle Mirror Transformation - funny, subtle, touching - go see!

Instead of just making you cry as they usually do, Pangdemonium makes you laugh till you cry with Circle Mirror Transformation. Enjoyed it!

Perfect comic timing from the entire cast, brilliantly directed by Tracie Pang. Pangdemonium always produces super high-quality theatre!

An all round great show. Fresh and surprising. Tender and fun. It captures the imagination and the heart. It challenges you. Gently but surely.

Circle Mirror Transformation was brilliant! I laughed and teared... and laughed until I teared. The show itself goes waaaay deeper than the synopsis. After last year's super intense offerings (heck... "intense" is the mildest word i can think of) Circle Mirror Transformation is MUCH gentler.

Yes, there are dramatic, pensive, gut-wrenching moments, but these are perfectly balanced with chuckles and full-volume guffaws. And do i really need to say anything about the acting and directing? OK... just one word: perfect. Pangdemonium did it again.

I loved every single actor's performance in Circle Mirror Transformation. For the duration of the show, I forgot they were actors as the play drew me into the drama class as if I too was a participant..."Week 1 to Week 6". I didn't want to be absent for any of the "weeks" to "attend" this class. Great casting, great pacing, great direction, and the ending was simply beautiful.

Circle Mirror Transformation was amazing. Every single time I watch a Pangdemonium's production, I feel nothing but awe. CMT’s a play that you have to sit through and experience for yourself - words will not do it justice. The acting was so perfectly nuanced. Tracie did a hell of an amazing job with this script.

It’s so honest and sincere, you cannot get any purer than this. Pangdemonium's kick-assingly good. And fabulous.

Once again, Pangdemonium proves its vital role in the Singapore theatre scene. With Circle Mirror Transformation, they continue to push, stretch and challenge actors, as well as surprise and delight audiences, in the most exciting ways.

Tracie Pang yet again demonstrates her consummate skill as a director, moulding her cast individually and collectively to create subtle and detailed portrayals - this is the best ensemble acting seen on stage in years! It is an extraordinary directorial feat that Pang has managed to tease out such a great deal of comedy from such a naturalistic piece, all the while maintaining a perfect balance of drama and nuance, and ultimately producing a piece of theatre that is enchanting, entertaining and very moving.
