Flipside: Snakes and Ladders! at Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay

Master the game of life, one roll at a time.

Come play a real-life game of Snakes and Ladders, live on stage with Singaporean actor Dwayne Lau. Part storytelling, part music and part game, this interactive show gives the audience just 90 minutes to get Dwayne to square 100—by rolling two giant dice on a larger-than-life game board.

When Dwayne lands on a square, anything can happen. He might tell a story, sing a song or reenact a moment in time that corresponds to the number indicated. Nothing is planned and everything is by chance. Just like life, Dwayne rolls with the punches and turns lemons into lemonade as he improvises his way across the board.

Join in and find out if Dwayne will shoot up the ladders to success or slide down the snakes to face obstacles. His fate rests entirely in the audience’s hands.

With a supporting cast, live musicians and plenty of tricks up his sleeve, this musical-comedy is a heartwarming, hilarious and absolutely wild ride through the ups and downs of life.
