Bangkok's Broadway-like cabaret shows will leave you spellbound! Head to the Calypso Theater for a 1-hour extravaganza that is completely unique, featuring the best of Thailand’s transgender artists and performers on a live stage. You’ll be dazzled by the stunning costumes – from sequined gowns to burlesque corsets – as well as the talent of the beautiful dancers, singers and entertainers in these energetic performances. Round-trip hotel transport is included with your admission ticket.
Bangkok's Calypso cabaret has showcased the unique flair and astonishing beauty of these Thai performing artists since it was created more than 25 years ago. If you are seeking something beyond the mainstream, then this cabaret show featuring talented transgender performers is your ticket! You'll be picked up from your hotel and transferred to the Calypso Theater to enjoy a colorful evening of cabaret, Bangkok-style. With your choice of an early or late evening show, settle in at your lamp-lit table for an outstanding presentation as the stage sparkles with lively music, dance and entertainment. The cabaret opens with glittery evening gowns on display, and includes acts from burlesque performers to the traditional dances of the geisha. Watch an Elvis impersonator with his ‘groupies,’ listen to classic favorites of the old-time music hall and see the incredible Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe come to life. When the curtain comes down, your guide will transport you back to your Bangkok hotel.
Great experience. However the pickup time was really early, and only upon arrival did I realise that the additional time was for us to walk around the area and to have dinner. Would be good to include this tidbit in the itinerary information I was indeed wondering why they needed to pick me up so early.

The show was spectacular and the pickup and return to the hotel and the guide were great.

The cabaret show was fun. You only get a very tiny table or none at all so i recommend eating in nearby restaurants before going inside. They offer free drink so you can have an after meal tea or coffee while enjoying the show. It is fun but they are ao eager for tips after the show for photo op

Pretty average show, lots of mime
Review by: de, September 2016
The idea is great, you get picked up and transported back to hotel, the show to the ticket includes a drink/coffee etc. Venue is ok/great too, there is some time before the show to check out open-air shopping, food trucks etc. which is quite nice, however the show itself is not worth going to..

Amazing show, best cabaret in thailand!! loved the ambiance of the theater too like a Parisian setting! I would DEFINATLY reccomend this to Any friend going to thailand. All the cab drivers will try to get u to come here BC they get commission- it's much cheaper and safer to buy through viator!

funny in a strange way and something new.
Review by: Sean H, February 2015
Mediocre show. They tried hard but I've seen better elsewhere. Ok for a night out but maybe make your own way to Asiatique market and do the show on your own. This will allow you time to shop, etc.
Review by: Ron, January 2015
Pick Up Service- Was On Time. Driver was polite and waited for us until the show ended. He didn't say much throughout the trip (from hotel to Asiatique). _br/_
Venue- Clean, nicely decorated_br/_
Show- Lots of dancing and lip singing - but quality was poor. The sound system and song selection needs to be improved in a major way. I would not recommend. _br/_
Seats- we were surprised that our seats had no table at all. I didn't see on viator's website any option (to book the seats with a table). Luckily we were allowed by the venue staff to transfer (since there were a lot of vacant tables). _br/_
After show- Performers were friendly and allowed picture taking; but most of the guests pass up on this.

The local tour operator, in charge of transportation and getting us the tickets for the show, was good. The theatre in which the performance takes place is also good. Sadly, I didn't feel the show was that good. There are a lot of performers and costumes -- the 'scope' of the show is large but I was let down by the quality of the performances. Perhaps the performers must moderate their energy to save something for the second show of the night (I'm sure it is exhausting). I think my opinion was largely shared by the audience as a whole as applause was tepid at best. I believe this show has been running for 20+ years and maybe it's time to make some changes.

This was a great show. Very entertaining. Theres not a lot of shows that my husband would go back to see again but this is one of them.
Review by: Christine S, April 2014
An interesting evening. I got tired of every single person getting introduced many times over during the show. The show was ok. We were collected from our hotel early and had an hour and 1/2 before the show to look around the centre which was really worthwhile. We had dinner at a restaurant on the waterfront We really enjoyed that part of the evening so we ended up considering the cabaret show as an extra bonus.

Interesting experience. Cast was available for photos on the way out after the show.

Americans might remember Ricky Ricardo's club on the "I Love Lucy" television show. The cabaret theater looks just like that club, with lamps on small bistro tables.

Very good show in nice surroundings
Review by: Christopher H, November 2012
Super. We really had a great time the show was fabulous, I would recommend it to everyone.. We had a meal before the show at the theater where during the meal we were entertained by Tie dancers and when we got to our table for the show we were in the front row, the best seats in the house.

Lip syncing was a bit disappointing, but the choreography and costumes were pretty good.

The comment I put down for Tiffany's show was supposed to be for this show. Tiffany show was excellent and good driver, had good seats.
Review by: Ola O, August 2012
This show was amazing, it was the first thing we did in Bangkok and one of the best things we did! We didnt know wht to expect but it was colorful, witty and very interesting. We got good seats through our booking with viator.
Review by: Beatrix J, July 2012
Overall I had a great time with this show. The vehicle that picked my group up was a little late and as a result we arrived a minute or two after the show began, but generally enjoyed our experience. I would recommend the show as an entertaining night out.

The show as super. I have used Viator many times when booking shows or tours with no problems but this was not the case in Bangkok. When we handed in our voucher to the ticket desk, they said hat they did not have our booking confirmation from Viator and did not know who Viator was. After many pleas and several phone calls from the show manmagement to others, a tour guide they called said he knew of Viator and that he would get the confirmation sorted out. This ordeal took alomost a hour and we got the tickets 5 minutes before the show started! I am not too sure who was at fault here but please ensure that you have all the relevant documents with you following the booking as that is what saved the night! I will use Viator again in the future as this was the first time that I have experienced a problem.

It was well presented. The entertainers were enthusiastic.
Review by: Holly F, January 2012
A great night of fun! You would never guess that some of these performers were ladyboys if you didn't already know it. They put on a fantastic show with their high paced energy and you can even have your photo taken at the end of the show with them.

Review by: Kay G, March 2011
This show was great, we arrived a little late as traffic was typical Bangkok! The only issue we had was we were not offered a drink and there was no waiter in sight, But I assume that's because we were late. All up we had a great night. Thank you

It is very entertaining, we enjoyed watching the show.
Review by: G R, South Africa, February 2010
This was basically a pick and drop off done by the caberet people. That went perfectly. What did not go well was trying to find out what time the pick up was. The local office did not know when I phoned and asked and then gave me 8pm as the time when the show actually started at 815pm. Fortunately the driver from the cabaret buzzed my room earlier. The show was great - quite short at about 1 hour, but great fun.

Had some fabulous trips and seen lots of things we wouldnt have seen without Viator! Thank you!
Review by: Stephanie R, United States of America, July 2009
The drive to the show was sluggish at first due to the evening traffic, but once we got rolling we were there with about 15-20 minutes to spare. The show was sooo worth it. Even though they were lip synching, the performers of this show were mostly spectacular. Costumes, lighting effects, showmanship - all were excellent, including the gracious meet-and-greet at the end. I highly recommend it. Men, women, couldn't always tell, and it didn't matter anyway...
