Why not make your night out complete
by upgrading your ticket to the
full Thai Experience by selecting
a meal package ticket for only £9.50
a person! Package includes a commemorative
brochure of the show and one of
the following meals prepared fresh
by a Thai chef at the Pavilion.
Think……FANTASY. Think……
FEATHERS….Think…. FANTASTIC
! The fabulous Lady Boys of Bangkok
are back in spectacular style with
the new 2010 production of the country’s
favourite cabaret party show. It’s
non-stop entertainment all the way.
From Lady Gaga to the Saturdays
…from Sarah Brightman to Bryan
Adams... from a fantasy in outer
space to the intensity of sensuous
Latin rhythms…. from West
End musicalto Hollywood blockbuster….
the hits keep on coming as only
Lady Boys of Bangkok can deliver.
Also singled out for special attention
is their favourite Thai TV show
– BANGKO X GOT TALENT . But
other than saying they are inviting
some “celebrity guests”
they are keeping the details very
close to their ample bosoms. In
a flamboyant extravaganza combining
the heady spice of Bangkok's exotic
nightlife with the glamorous showgirl
appeal of Las Vegas, The Lady Boys
of Bangkok is staged in the unique
ambiance of the Sabai Pavilion,
in Derby, Brighton, Bristol, Manchester,
Edinburgh, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne,
Leeds and Belfast. Early booking
is advisable. Between Sabai Pavilion
seasons, a theatre show tours the
UK. Performed by 16 of the world’s
most beautiful show-girls (who just
happen to be men!) it’s the
show everyone talks about! Whether
it is the trade-mark painstakingly
immaculate make up; the glittering
array of designer-inspired hand-made
outfits; the sheer effervescence
and style of the performance; the
show-stopping choreography or the
saucy – but never crude or
vulgar – comedy. There will
be more costumes (nearly 500) than
ever before to , quite literally,
cover the vast range of production
numbers - ranging from Starship
Troopers to hot –blooded Latins;
from stylised casual summer wear
to fantastic feathers and even from
the historical to the hysterical.
When it comes to Fantasy & Feathers
– no-one does it better than
the fabulous LADY BOYS OF BANGKOK.
The fantasy starts as soon as you
enter the fully carpeted Sabai Pavilion.
You have left behind your daily
existence and are transported to
Bangkok’s exotic nightlife.
Inhale the aroma of freshly prepared
Thai food – then choose from
a range of mouth-watering dishes.
The licensed bars in the foyer and
auditorium are stocked with a wide
range of beers, spirits, wines and
soft drinks. The Boudoir is stocked
with an amazing range of delightful
souvenirs, novelties, hats, masks
and exclusive Lady Boys of Bangkok
DVD’s – the perfect
reminder of a great night out. In
the Cabaret Room, you will be escorted
to your table by Thai hostesses
wearing traditional silk costumes.
Hugely popular with hen parties
and office outings, there’s
a buzz of excited anticipation as
the house-lights dim and the Master
of Ceremonies, Sak, announces -
“The Lady Boys of Bangkok
are here for (sic) entertain you!”
Direct from the heart of Bangkok’s
exotic nightlife, you will be entertained
– like no one has entertained
you before! - by 16 of the world’s
most stunningly beautiful representatives
of the Third Sex (Kathoey) –
the sensational Lady Boys Of Bangkok.
It’s the best party night
in town! Executive Producer Carol
Gandey said she was delighted to
bring the show back to the UK for
a 12th successive year. “During
our 2009 tour there was a large
increase in the number of men accompanying
their wives or partners to the show.
Many of them have told us they were
sorry that they hadn’t been
to see the show in earlier years.
In fact several have told us they
thought their wives or partners
had been deliberately putting them
off coming to see the show so that
they could have a really good girl’s-night-out!”
She added; “There is also
a continuing increase in the number
of hen-parties due to the special
package we offer.” Director
Phillip Gandey said “The Lady
Boys of Bangkok now occupies a unique
position in the world of entertainment.
When we staged the first show in
Edinburgh 12 years ago, there were
those who said it had no future.
Yet each year our audiences continue
to grow and our productions become
more ambitious. Laughter is a vital
element in every show. Our audiences
want a good night out – a
night where they can really let
go and enjoy themselves. "
BOOK NOW for the ultimate cabaret
party night out. The Lady Boys of
Bangkok - Fantasy & Feathers
- a world in which everything is
not quite what it seems.«
