Playhouse Cabaret
- Nightlife
Playhouse Cabaret is a family-friendly cabaret show in Bangkok, with stints in Phuket and Chiang Mai. While you’ll see plenty of feather boas and sequins, the hour-long show stands out from most transvestite cabarets as it emphasizes on showmanship (excuse the pun), with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, instead of erotic dancing. There are over 10 separate acts, during which you’ll enjoy renditions of Christina Aguilera, Tina Turner, Michael Jackson, Swan Lake, and a comedy compere who keeps the laughs coming.
Location: Shanghai Mansion Bangkok, 479 481 Yaowarat Rd, Samphanthawong, Bangkok 10100, Thailand
Open: Monday–Friday from 8 pm to 9.10 and from 9.30 pm to 10.40 pm
