MMan Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Word has it the cabaret show in Anusarn Night Bazaar will soon open a 2nd location where Simon Cabaret was previously. The Anusarn show will then close for about a month for renovations. Same performers will do both shows. An early show at Chang Puak where you have to buy a ticket, then a later show at Anusarn where the current policy of free admission as long as you buy drinks will be maintained. I suspect the new location will be targeted at Chinese and other Asian tour groups, who typically don't drink alcohol. Expect to see more Chinese Tour Group buses on Chang Puak road soon!

jobin Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Is this Caberet place behind the Tops supermarket? I'm hoping to see faux Elvis, Marlene Dietrich and Edith Piaf shows soon. I pass by there and see signs of activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM4Me Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Hope this production has more variety than the previous Simon Cabaret did.

araso Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hello everybody! Does anyone here have visited this new cabarets show already? How is it? I'm looking for some good quality pictures from there but still couldn't find it anywhere Can anyone help? Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey88 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Lazeeboy....I'm not a Chiang Mai expert at all but I have been coming to Thailand for many years so I'm not a novice either. It seems to be that many businesses don't understand that 'finding' something in Chiang Mai.....that is to say.....finding their business....is quite often impossible for some of us or such a big chore that we don't bother.. No body uses street names or numbers or gives map links (that make sense) and the finding the location of the place seems to based on a belief that you know where it is in the first place......doh! I'd love to come to your shows but I have NO idea where the places you mention are.... Or how I get there?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMBob Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Excuse me, why do you call it 'Playhouse'? Was there a show with this name before? Or was there Simon show? And thank you for info!! For years, it was the Simon Cabaret....a fancy ladyboy show quite similar to the Alcazar show down south. I'm not sure when that closed (am guessing about 2006 or so?) but it then reopened a couple of years later after some renovations as The Playhouse (which was more of a dance-and-song show). I saw the show a couple of times when it was the Simon Cabaret and we enjoyed it(lots of glitzy costumes, etc.). I and some friends attended a Saturday evening show at The Playhouse about 4 (?) years ago and we were quite impressed by the dancing and singing, costumes, etc. They had a large troupe of about 60+ dancers and singers and several of them were very talented (especially, I thought, the dude doing the Bo Jangles routine). Unfortunately, it was fairly obvious that the whole thing wouldn't last (when I and three friends attended, we were the only 4 people in the entire audience!). Somebody likely lost a lot of money on that venture. Best of luck to whoever reopens the place; however, unless tourist numbers increase up here or whoever owns the show is a genius at marketing, it'd be my guess that it would take a miracle for the venture to be successful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMan Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 The Anusarn Night Bazaar show is no longer free. You have to buy a ticket for 200 thb, but that gets you 1 free drink so not so bad I think. It's a good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elektrified Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Is the Cabaret Theatre show in Changpueak primarily composed of ladyboys? We took some Japanese guests to the Anusarn Market cabaret one time. They got a kick out of it. The show was very brief - about 45 minutes as I recall. But good costumes, etc. It was entertaining. I seem to recall the dancers were all gay men made up as women. Not the khatoeys per se. But the costumes, make up, etc. pretty good for a small scale operation. Good for a laugh if you have friends in town. Drinks were not bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMBob Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Is the Cabaret Theatre show in Changpueak primarily composed of ladyboys? Since it hasn't opened yet, I'm doubtful of any of us know. When that theater was Simon Cabaret, it was all ladyboys as far as I could see; however, when it was The Playhouse, the performers were just guys and gals as far as I could see/detect. As long whoever reopens the theater presents some entertaining shows, the performers can all be martians (or, lord/Buddha forbid, Republicans!) as far as I'm concerned.

watgate Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I called the Cabaret Theatre and was told there is currently a show at 8 pm and it is primarily ladyboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
