Ponydance's Anybody Waitin'?

This Irish dance foursome are cute, funny, energetic and folks are going mad for them. Anybody Waitin'? is a madcap romp and great fun but the show felt short and somewhat thin and underdeveloped. Ponydance (hailing from a place called Sallynoggin; that must help) camp it up with lots of audience participation, but they're slow to get off the ground and rely on standard tricks and teases that have become mainstream, eg. grabbing drinks from members of the audience and taking sips, sitting on people's knees or making them squirm through pseudo lap dances. Anybody Waitin'? morphs into a hilarious gay disco with queeny dramatics but repeats itself with Total Eclipse of the Heart. It's a crowd-pleaser and gets belly laughs but this is comic dance that doesn't go far enough. Given the troupe's name you might expect a moment's pisstake of the Gangnam Style YouTube clip – a missed opportunity.
