SINGAPORE – The Victoria Theatre plays host to a temporary skating rink for Pangdemonium’s new staging of the Tony Award-winning musical Kimberly Akimbo. The show begins its two-week run on Oct 17.
For the ice skating number, a “rink” has been created from a special ice-like floor surface called PolyGlide. The cast has 24/7 access to it in the rehearsal room and has been hard at work practising their choreography on the slippery surface.
