This is precisely what I like about Pangdemonium productions – the way they bring to life the thoughts and emotions buried deep within us. Beneath every seemingly simple storyline lies a whole mishmash of themes, feelings, and social critique that you’ll be untangling for days or even weeks after the curtains close.

If you’re the sort who enjoys theatre that makes you think and feel a whole spectrum of emotions, you HAVE TO catch Pangdemonium’s productions.

FAT PIG is a play that demands to be seen... powerful... the perfect anti-romantic comedy... poignant, bracing and provocative... the drama is orchestrated expertly...

Tracie Pang has assembled a cast of young and relatively unknown actors, but each one throughly excels in his or her role... you're so transported, you forget it's a performance.

This play took my breath away...I went to the show not quite knowing what to expect, and emerged in complete awe...an incredible cast...Tracie Pang has performed many wonderful feats these past few years, but this - for me at least - is really one of her greatest achievements!

Once again, Pangdemonium! has done an excellent job in choosing a thought-provoking script and bringing it to vivid life through a stellar cast and expert direction...5 stars - DO NOT MISS!

Pangdemonium hits the ground running once again by kicking off the 2014 season with a prickly play called “Fat Pig”...a meaningful and well fleshed-out romantic tale about love in the midst of prejudice, played by a young but highly-competent cast, and with excellent and well thought-out production values.

It’s merely the start of the 2014 season, but it seems like Pangdemonium has picked up right where it left off last year, and there seems to be no stopping the juggernaut.

A hilarious, laugh-out-loud play that's also thought-provoking and emotional.

Sharp tragicomedy, tightly paced and deeply moving production... a pressure cooker of a play.

Tracie Pang draws out wonderfully nuanced portrayals of the characters.

AN ABSOLUTELY MUST WATCH. Amazing performance from an A-list young cast. This is the next generation of actors in Singapore. Kudos to the brilliance of Yu Hsien's set design... I literally gasped when the set opened up before my very eyes.

Big congrats to the team behind the show and the amazing Pangdemonium family!

I loved this production - the performances, the set, and especially the direction! And I love Pangdemonium's stand on bringing such brave issues to be highlighted in Singapore.

FAT PIG was really a winning recipe of superb text, amazing cast, awesome set... and everything was served deliciously. A true delectable feast to the senses.

Catch Pangdemonium's production of Fat Pig - EAT. LAUGH. CRY. LOVE. LIFE.

Congratulations! Excellent acting and direction. Getting better and better from production to production - keep it up Pangdemonium!

Excellent. Was captivated from the get-go. Pangdemonium productions always leave me thinking.

Sensitively directed by Tracie Pang, FAT PIG is thought-provoking and powerful. The entire cast is wonderful. The set design by Eucien Chia is spectacular and ingenious.

A comedy with bite, brought to life by a terrific cast, maintaining the Pangdemonium tradition of showcasing emerging stars.

Don't miss it.

Go and watch Fat Pig now everyone! Amazing script, brilliant direction, stunning set and MIND BLOWING NEW YOUNG TALENT.

Wah! Singapore's really got hope! So inspiring! Thank you! Blown away. Don't miss it people!

Excellent! Very well played. Heartwarming to see such great shows in Singapore. Keep it up!

Every time I come to see a Pangdemonium show I am amazed by the level of performance.

Tonight was the same - CONGRATS guys, you ROCK!

Dealer's Choice! A confident, ballsy production...incredibly funny and terribly sad... the six-man cast put in fine performances in a production defined by solid design values. The title of this play could well be called Reviewer's Choice.

DEALER'S CHOICE is a royal flush!...a play positively dripping with witty, sarcastic lines...ably brought to life by the A-grade cast...audiences will have a hard time putting on their best poker faces while watching Dealer’s Choice!

The secret to PANGDEMONIUM!'s production is solid acting and excellent production values. Dealer's Choice presents a snapshot of humanity that is full of wit, hilarity and bittersweet sympathy - joy to watch.

This staging by PANGDEMONIUM is a highly creditable attempt at one of the best musicals ever written, and even outperforms the Tony-winning Broadway original in several respects.

A glorious Spring! Pangdemonium's decision to cast relative greenhorns is a statement in itself - a belief in the abilities of the next generation of actors. And the whole group does them proud... Don't miss it!

This was what Pangdemonium aimed to do: to make a statement in Singapore musical theatre based on one of the most controversial plays that has ever been written, Spring Awakening. And boy, did they get it right. Pangdemonium's Spring Awakening is poetry and emotion brought to painful life. The company has certainly done justice to the work.

One of the best shows i've ever seen! it was AWESOME!... If you think local theatre can't compare to New York's best, you're wrong. Pangdemonium's efforts have exceeded all my expectations, and I am hungry for more!

I saw the UK West End production and the UK Touring production and I can honestly say that Pangdemonium's version of SPRING AWAKENING is better staged and performed as well.

I have seen five different productions of SPRING AWAKENING, and Pangdemonium's production is much more dynamic, more inventive and more moving!

Today I saw Spring Awakening for the third time & felt it more than I have the first two times. I can honestly say this is one of the best productions I've seen in a long, long time. Very, very talented cast, great songs, clever & beautiful set, fantastic energy & such an important message. Thank you for working so damn hard & for making me laugh, cry & re-establish the power of theatre. Go watch Spring Awakening, please.

If you have not caught Spring Awakening yet, please, please a million times please do. The production standard and quality is Fantastic. Please shake the "Singapore"/"Local" stigma you may have about plays. Pangdemonium has outdone itself. I have watched shows around the world and this one left me speechless.

I have watched 8 different productions of Spring Awakening, and this, i have to say, was one of the best!

I brought my students to watch Spring Awakening, and am glad that i did, because there was so much in it that they relate to. Thank you for being not just professional champions of the arts, but also being nurturing educators. Thank you for choosing to share your talent with all of us in this way.

I just want to thank EVERYONEEEEEEEEE who made Spring Awakening possible. I want to thank all of you awesome people for producing this wonderful wonderful thing called Spring Awakening. Thank you for making an impact on my life and the other super lucky teens that got to watch spring!!!...THANK YOU FOR SPRING AWAKENING!!!

I had the opportunity to see Spring Awakening last night, and I want to congratulate you on a fantastic production. It is, by far, the best theatre I have seen in Singapore. Bravo! And I look forward to your next production.

I want to say You Totally ROCKED! I was at the performance tonight of Spring Awakening and thank you so much for giving me hope for Singapore Musicals. I am a Musical Theatre practitioner and I think this will mark the era of really high quality musicals here in Singapore. Thank you very much!

Warm, wickedly funny, remarkably moving production by Pangdemonium...intense and explosive...will have you in laughter and tears....Pangdemonium spares no effort in making the production accessible to audiences both hearing and non hearing...the ensemble is a taut string carefully unwound...stunning professional debut of Thomas Pang, a revelation...

Director Tracie Pang has orchestrated an intimate family drama of incredible proportions, choreographing this dysfunctional brood into a symphony of clever counterpoint and subtext - every scene is beautifully calibrated. She plays with our expectations of what it means to hear one another out, and captures what playwright Raine made the context of the play - the textures and ruptures of language, the tribes we cling to and what it means to put yourself in another person's shoes. Book it today!

Pangdemonium's pitch-perfect comic-drama Tribes...truly provocative, heartbreaking, humane, profound and merciless all at once...Director Tracie Pang mines every word and gesture for their humour and brutality, extraordinary moments when speech, signed gestures and surtitles become a perfect storm of communication breakdown; and her casting decisions are excellent...Gavin Yap and Thomas Pang as the brothers are, in a word, electric.

Pangdemonium's pitch-perfect production...smart, moving and humorous...Tracie Pang's sensitive, meticulous and pitch perfect direction allows us to enjoy TRIBES as a family dramedy even as we willingly embrace its intellectual edge...tight, generous performances all round ensure that it is a show full of heart…Gavin Yap - heartbreaking... (in Thomas Pang) Pangdemonium has unearthed another talent to watch out for yet again...

Hear us out: Watch this play!

★★★★ Pangdemonium has been building a reputation for being a company unafraid to stage plays that deal with difficult issues. But with TRIBES, they take things up a notch and achieve something truly hard-hitting, comical, and tender at the same time...Thanks to Tracie Pang’s expert direction, watching this group of actors is, indeed, like catching a glimpse of a tribe...The cast shines.

Thomas Pang deserves special mention, (with) his nuanced portrayal of the sweet yet isolated Billy. Ethel Yap is another outstanding actor...It’s evident the production achieves what it set out to do: give a voice and soul to a community that is largely ignored by the public. There are a lot of words that get tossed around here – either hilarious or hurtful – but by the time the curtain falls, we find that even when speech is taken away, so much can still be said.

Easily one of the most enjoyable and well-executed Pangdemonium plays...Pacy and funny...it is in the performances that TRIBES truly sets itself apart...Thomas Pang, in what might be one of the most amazing professional debuts...Ethel Yap shines…Gavin Yap - brilliant!

Read my lips – TRIBES is a play you don’t want to miss.

When it comes to theatre company Pangdemonium, our expectations are always high. TRIBES is not to be missed...The balance of comedy and drama makes it a winner...TRIBES tells us a lot of things: about the isolation one can feel within their family, the struggles of being deaf, and how every oddball is searching for their place to be heard - we heard it all, unspoken or not, and it has changed us for the better.

With this excellent production of Tribes, Pangdemonium have returned to the zenith of fine theatre making in Singapore...Tracie Pang's taut direction drives the play and each scene is handled with her characteristic sensitivity and attention to detail...delightful and thoroughly affecting piece of theatre.

The cast, a superb ensemble of six, turn in compelling performances and are thoroughly engaging: Adrian Pang and Sue Tordoff convey the undercurrents of marriage with riotous honesty; Gavin Yap and Frances Lee - delightful; Thomas Pang in his stunning professional stage debut as Billy, joins the ranks of actors who have been nurtured by Pangdemonium and have emerged as fantastic young actors in the entertainment scene today...Ethel Yap likewise makes a very strong impression.

With Tribes, Pangdemonium reminds us that when learning to understand one another, actions speak so much louder than words.

As someone lucky enough to be a regular theatre-goer in Singapore and all around the world, let me declare this: Pangdemonium's TRIBES is the best piece of theatre I have seen in years. Director Tracie Pang has taken on a monumental task and achieved something magnificent: from a supremely challenging and tricky script, she has expertly guided her cast to individually and collectively give honest, nuanced and powerful portrayals, resulting in a stunning ensemble performance; she has also pulled together all the technical aspects of the production and made them organic and alive; and ultimately she has created a piece of story-telling that is on one level a great piece of entertainment, and on a deeper level profoundly resonant in so many ways.

Told with wit, heart and guts, this beautiful production is a very important piece of theatre, and one that will stay with many audience members lucky enough have caught this. Once again, brilliant work, Pangdemonium, simply brilliant.

I was blown away. This is an amazing play with powerful performances, stunning set design, and tight, brilliant direction. This riveting play with its troubling themes of deafness in all its forms and how we may hear but not listen is a challenging one to stage and perform but that didn't deter Pangdemonium from offering it as their second play of the 2015 season and I'm glad they did—it's one of the best theatrical productions ever staged here.

Grab your tribe and head down to watch it! Congratulations Adrian and Tracie Pang!

We have just seen one of the best performances possible. Stunningly right and truthful. You should be deeply proud of yourselves. It's the kind of experience that vindicates a lifetime of visiting theatres and all the near misses one sees in theatres. It reminds you why it all matters so much.

We were, in other words, most deeply moved. Thank you for the experience. Great congratulations.

BRILLIANT on so many levels. To the cast, thanks for the honest, sincere, engaging performances. To (set designer) Wong Chee Wai, the stunning and meticulously assembled set took my breath away. To director Tracie Pang, what my heart felt, no spoken word can encapsulate.

Spent my Sunday evening watching a phenomenal play, Tribes. It was relatable in many ways, thought-provoking and heart-wrenching. As I sat there with my mind a spiderweb of thoughts and feelings, my eyes welled up at all the many breathtaking moments that were presented before me.

Tribes is definitely a play that not only hit the right spot for me but it was also beautifully put together and produced - the elaborate and intricate set, a world class cast, incredible acting and the superb use of music and multimedia. Tribes will be one play that has unquestionably left a mark in my heart.

Thank you Pangdemonium for this magnificent production.

Tribes was exquisitely well produced by Pangdemonium and it presented a very gripping, thought-provoking perspective on deaf culture I would not have otherwise known. I relished and lapped up every single detail put onto the stage, from the impeccably elaborate set, the directing and blocking, the fusion of multimedia, and a first for me – sign language translators, who were meticulous with their delivery not just with their hands but with their face and body, emotions pulsing through every movement.

The actors have each poured in so much into their roles and captured all the subtext that needed to be shown. Thank you for this!

Fantastic play! Funny, thought provoking and meaningful! Best productions in Singapore are from Pangdemomium!

TRIBES is the most honest piece of theatre I've seen. If you wanna know what good theatre is, then TRIBES is a great case study.

Everything from the set to the acting to the writing to the direction was beautifully nuanced and just plain honest.

If you haven't watched Tribes by Pangdemonium you absolutely must. There is no negotiation. I have not been so blown away by a production in years.

Thanks Pangdemonium for the awesome two hours of education and entertainment. Made me rethink about how humans connect with each other, and how deaf my heart can be sometimes, even when I have functioning ears.
