The show was entertaining. My 2 sons (20 & 16 years old) enjoyed it. My wife felt the selection of some of the performers could be improved. Personally, I applaud the effort in putting the show together. I can see that it takes a lot of effort, training, creativity and good management for such a show to take place. The dancing moves are impressive and I suspect some of the "girls" are really girls as they look so convincing.

Mediocre show, the price is high for such a spectacle. Firstly, because artists do not sing themselves and secondly because they do not dance well. Unfortunately, there is also no energy in performances.

First of all, why there are so many old performers? Some of them are out of shape. It is Cabaret show. I like to see the active sing and dance from young people; young vibes. The problem is that they can not dance well and not even synchronize each other.
I like Jazz but I do not care for lip-sync jazz. How many Asian audiences enjoy the Jazz? how many Asian audiences enjoy the Broadway type shows? Even in Japanese act, where is Kimono? It is very culturally insensitive. I felt insulted. Your production does not care about Asian audiences. We Asians should not watch your production. Remember who pays more.
See the shows in Pattaya and you will know what I am talking about. Your production loves the western culture so much, then at least should learn how to pronounce "sing, sing, sing" correctly?

Never been to anything like this before.
I was pleasantly surprised at how good the show was - there were some technical errors but everyone was having fun.
The format is quite traditional with set pieces to popular tunes - nobody got pulled out the audience or anything.
I love a show tune and the scenes were innovative and dazzling.
Sometimes it felt like being in an old MGM production.
The venue was lovely reminiscent of a speakeasy.
We went to the early showing and we as an audience was rubbish. Lots of people were on theirs phones or sat in stoney silence. Only a fraction of the energy coming off the stage was reflected back - which was sad.
I would recommend trying the later show if possible.
The worst thing about this show is the ending.
The audience was funneled out past the assembled performers where we were hassled for money to have a photo.
A performer grabbed me and tried to pull me away for a photo.
This was sad that these great performers were subjected to this - it felt a bit demeaning.

We’ve seen the lady boy shows in Phuket previously and really enjoyed them. This show, however while spectacular in the costumes and some of the dance sequences but the music wasn’t quite as good. The music choices left a lot to be desired with songs from the mid 20th century’s bit out of step for the audience. There was a Rhianna section but that’s about it for modern songs. Asking for money for photos with the performance at the end is also a bit tacky. I got a free beer that was good.

A lightful and fun time! Don’t go if you’re easily offended. A traditional variety style show, with different featured performers. A nice time before dinner, show is quick and light hearted

As an American, I love drag culture. I’m not a drag queen myself but I enjoy a good drag performance. I went to this ladyboy show to get a sense of the drag scene in Thailand and it was relatively entertaining. They’re more about passing as women unlike American drag queens are a persona of a sort of character, like Trixie Mattel or Jinx Monsoon. If the title of the show didn’t have the word ladyboy in it I may not have noticed they weren’t ladies, with exception to a few performers you could tell were boys. Over all it was entertaining and the production value was fairly high and the cast was enormous! They seemed to be enjoying themselves and put in a fairly decent show.
However, when the show was over and you walk out to the exit, all the performers are waiting outside to greet you and practically screaming at you to take a photo with them.…..…for 50 baht, with one performer. I found this utterly tacky. I would’ve considered taking a photo with them cause it would be fun, but not for 50 baht. I was glad I went but I wouldn’t go again.

Very entertaining experience with 1 free drink included. Performers put in a great show and you can get pictures with them afterwards
Expect dancing show, not actual singing. Dancers are lip singing
