Another wicked production from Pangdemonium that just ended its run last Sunday. And i have to say, it was very nicely adapted to woo the local audience. Lots of jokes and puns were referenced to Singapore's very own unique scenes, winning lots of laughter from the audience. Let me describe one of the jokes and you will know what it means if you are a local.
Mr Boo (played by Rishi) thanked the sponsors in the opening act and so he goes on with the list of sponsors, "... National Arts Council ... Lee Foundation. Not that Lee, but this Lee that actually gives you money". Get it?
Mina Kaye who played the part of LV or Little Voice impressed me greatly in this performance. She was extraordinary. Her last performance in A Singaporean in Paris was admirable but did not exactly wow me.
This time, she did and i mean WOW. My friends (Megha, Cecilia) who attended the performance with me had nothing but praises for her too. This is no mean feat especially when we consider the fact that she acted alongside Adrian Pang in this production. Far too often, Adrian Pang who has such a commanding presence on stage, tends to steal the limelight from the leads even when he is cast in a supporting role. Adrian Pang delivered as usual but Mina Kaye with her powerful performance, managed to keep the spotlight focused on her without being overshadowed.
Can't wait to see Pangdemonium's next performance starring Adrian Pang and Janice Koh. I loved their intense performance from Rabbit Hole last year and i wondered if they will top that in their next collaboration come this October.
