Simon Cabaret: Phuket’s Ladyboy Glamour Show

Great evening from the moment you step in through the door! Excellent cocktails! Amazing show - loved it

My wife and I had a great time. A few drinks before the show and then watched the show. Paid for VIP tickets and sat in F Row and had uninterrupted view of the show. Ladies were amazing and the choreography of the show was excellent. Show goes for just over 60 mins with no break or intermission and each song and dance followed by the next. After the show the cast stand outside and you can get your photo with them for a tip.

Our first time in phuket and first time to watched the show.Very impressed with the costumes and make ups.Weldone Simon.

Great entertainment good for couples or families

I was quite disappointed with the show. Costumes were glamorous but the lip syncing and amateurish dancing were mediocre at best. It’s not a mixed cabaret, just lip syncing and dancing by the “artists”. The posturing after the show where they line up to meet audience and encourage photos then demand money for the privilege isn’t nice. I wouldn’t recommend. It.

Was an awesome show!! Amazing costumes and the choeography was on point! We had a fantastic night out!!

The show was good . Would recommend it . Only thing I was disappointed in was on leaving the lady boys grabbed my husband and tild me to take a picture. I did then they wouldnt leave us alone asking for money. They grabbed and pulled him in . It should have said somewhere you have to pay to take picture.

It was our friend's birthday while in Phuket so we went to the show for a fun celebration. The ticket prices and picking us up at the hotel were great. Costuming a 15 out of 10, Sets 15 out of 10, but the lip singing and dancing was dreadful. I am in the performing business and have been in and attended many productions in my life but here they seemed to not know the words and was just attempting to mouth the words There was no facial expressions, everyone seemed stiff and the choreography was not together and actually a bit boring. Again the costumes and sets were amazing but some of the numbers were very dated. Old school Vegas at best. There were a couple of shinning moments - the vogue section and the last Hot hot hot section were my favorites. The lead in both of those were lip singing to a tee and had expressions on their faces and really entertained the audience. The comic relief part was hilarious - I wish there had of been more of that or a lead MC or something. Unfortunately It was not a highlife of our trip

The show itself is first rate. It’s worth every penny and every second of time. But … when the show ended the performers gathered in the common area to encourage photos with the audience members. That itself is terrific. But then as soon as you take a selfie with them, they literally “shake you down” for money!!!! Unbelievable! The performer thrust her hand out and said “that will be 100 BHT for your Thai lady and 200 BHT for you since you are a foreigner.” I was flabbergasted. In fact that one moment so angered me that it ruined the evening. If you go, be forewarned about the shake down. I was not and it really spoiled the event for me.

Don't miss this experience !! I couldn't believe my yes . Like the Lido in Paris just the girls were most beautiful " ladyboys " . This show is amazing and everything like transfers from the hotels very well organized . Unforgettable !!

The show was very entertaining. Music was great it included different genres. The dancers were fabulous and it was a great experience overall.

Very put together and entertaining.Would recommend if you have a few hours go see it you will not be disappointed.

Aside from the fact that it is mesmerising to see how beautiful ladyboys are and their grace and elegance, the show was very average. It’s not so much of a cabaret as a dance show with very elaborate and beautiful costumes. If you are a fan of live singing and dancing- I won’t recommend this show for you as you’ll be disappointed. But kudos to all the beautiful ladyboys cause most of them are more elegant than many women and man their dancing in heels is just commendable!

If you like live shows and glamour, this is the show for you. A lot of money has gone into the production of this and it really is a top notch cabaret. The performers are beautiful and the choreography is great.

Costumes and scenery were fantastic. Girls / boys very good. Well worth the extra for vip seats. Drinks were not a rip off.

Nice and civilized. Got nice photos in the end. It was really hard for me to distinguish ladyboys and it was much more fulfilled than regular bangla road shows

Fabulous show! Costumes are amazing. Stage beautiful and cowgirl lady hilarious. Lovely cocktails before the show. We all enjoyed!!

This show, while OK was a bit flat if Im honest. There was hardly any crowd interaction and I'm sure there are better shows! The songs are OK and costumes great but if felt like there was something missing! It wasn't lurid or tacky which is one huge positive but it would have been better if the audience were more engaged, which comes down to the performers and their interactions or lack thereof in this instance! Drinks reasonably priced but warm up very quickly as you would expect in plastic cups! I wouldn't hurry back again!

Fantastic show. The costumes are stunning. Would definitely recommend going. Was worth the money we paid

Amazing show and beautiful costumes but it was absolutely disgusting and rude demanding payment after photos have been taken. We felt obliged to pay just to prevent a scene to happen.

Definitely a must when you visit Thailand! Never been to anything like this before and couldn't believe how beautiful some of the lady boys were. The show lasted for about an hour. The costumes were stunning but again everything was sooo commercialised!! After the show you exit the theatre and all the lady boys are waiting outside for you. They get you to have your photos done with them and before you know it they're holding up lots of Thai notes and asking for money 🤑💰!!!

💋 syncing and 😫 performers then this is show for you! Too be fair the set, costumes are amazing and some of the reworked songs are incredible! If the owners reduced performances (currently 3 x per day x 7 days per week) and provided the showcase to demonstrate their true talent and creativity then maybe the show could deliver a live quality performance! Avoid the chorus line apparently 200THB per photo and NOT ADVERTISED & take change as you will not get any return from 500THB (they have no where to carry cash!) Actually now feel guilty attending and bought a ticket to slave labour with the performers begging for money at the end!

Booked tickets on their website but they were the same price as Trip advisor. Went to get tickets from desk and they give you a voucher for a complimentary drink which is cool. Nice comfortable seats and the show goes for about 2 hours. Stunning show done with great professionalism 😍 loved the enthusiasm. Bad part is how much they ask for to get photos with them at the end of the show. You get a little scammed here if you’re not ready for it.

Great time. The girls are beautiful. The songs and performances are great. The atmosphere is great. Good times all around.

The show was very entertaining! Low key, no pressure and a geat way to start your trip in Thailand. No intermission.

Don’t bother with VIP, you get a seat on the bottom half of the theatre however, not as close or more leg room as advertised. Beautiful show however, all acts were lip syncing. Very strict regarding no phones during performances.

This was the second time we got to see this amazing show!! Beautifull, breath-taking, absolutely fenominal! A must!! The pre-drinks in the lobby are also reasonabilly priced.

Really enjoyed this show. Fast pace, visual. Sound and costumes perfect. All mime... Maybe one or two of the numbers would have been nice sang live by one of the cast. Loved the song choices Whitney Houston, Madonna, Kylie all very camp of course Thoroughly enjoyed it :)

We returned here after about 10 years and it was almost unrecognisable - much more professional and a beautiful clean , spacious and air conditioned modern theatre. The show was really good - the costumes were absolutely sensational - worth going just for them! The theatre itself had fantastic special effects during performances and it was so professional the set up we were amazed. Some good performances to well known hits by lady gaga, Whitney and other cultural performances , oh and a hillarious comedy act. A brilliant night with a cocktail included in the price !

I thought it was a great show! I loved the costumes! The lighting, the set design and the choreography were all spectacular!

It was a lovely experience and a good way to spend an evening in Phuket. Performances were well rehearsed and outfits were stunning! Theatre is lovely and very professional. Transport via tuk tuks is easy to get after the show as the drivers stand waiting outside. We had regular seats which I felt were better for viewing since we were on the second floor. I have read other reviews about being made to pay for pictures with the performers after, however my husband and I left the theatre as soon as the show was done, so we may have just avoided this.

Overall an okay show. The lead performers are decent but the backup dancers could benefit from more polish. Additionally, the lip-syncing could be more synchronized to better coordination.

Definitely something unusual for the Western, however, I greatly recommend it firstly because you see a different show, secondly the ticket is really affordable and the show is very entertaining with some funny parts The performers are really professionals

Whilst in Phuket , please don’t miss it !! Amazing show with great costumes and great dancers !! Loved every minute of it !! ❤️

This show was fantastic... It is obvious that the performers spend a lot of time rehearsing and perfecting their routines. It looks like they love what they do and it shows throughout the show. Highly recommend!

I think this is what we expexted when we booked the tickets. The show itself is good, you are not allowed to take photos or videos during the show and they take it seriously. You can have photos with the ladies at the end however they ask for money. We took photos with the two of them and they said 400baht. We had to pay anyway but for 5 photos it was a bit too much. There is no time to negotiate, everything is so rush there. Be careful when takong photos. Minimum of 100baht has to be paid.

Must see whilst in Phuket 💯 Fabulous costumes, venue and cocktails. Very very well organised. Amazing venue. Wish I looked half as good in those wonderful outfits. Go go go.

The costumes and setup on this show are stunning. The music mix was excellent however it felt a little disjointed with the dance acts and lacked some oomph.

Had an amazing time best cabaret show I've ever been performers where great lot of memorable songs and great outfits would recommend

Great show, alot of detail in it. Some dancers looked miserable but most were great. My only disappointment was how rude one was at the end after dragging my children over for a photo then demanding $20 aud tip. I agree with tipping but $20 after they asked for the photo Is ridiculous

Compared to the show when I last watched twenty years ago, they have greatly improved on the lighting, props (including the large electronic backdrop), thematic dances. Expectedly over so many years, they have done away with the very old classics and now using mainstream pop from Madonna to Gaga. As usual they have Asian country and certain western specific performances - I must admire their eclectic choice of the music that represents the countries: well done!! Choreography was superb as well, with a few acts blending old and new. Class act. Since they have updated significantly on their acts, I think can watch again say every five to six years. The entire process of booking (I did it through klook), transport and the facilitation was excellent.

1000B per person as VIP guest on show. It started exactly on time 6 pm and ended 7.05pm ie around one hour. It's a continuous dance show on different song numbers with change in dresses and get ups with around 30/40 artists with a well coordinated light and sound system. It's surprising to see so many young artists slim and fit in colorful glittering dresses. One of attraction for we Indians was Hindi Song "Radha', very well performed by artist women and men group.Overall good entertainment in reasonable price.

It was what we expected. Amazing costumes, lip syncing was a bit average. Entertaining and it was good to show our kids something that is so well known in Thailand.

COMPLAINT: We have just been to see the Simon Cabaret. We were looking forward to the show and paid extra for special seats. Sadly, we would like to complain about two happenings: The first is as soon as the show started people who had paid for cheap seats jumped into the expensive seats in front of us, which we had paid extra for, and no staff members made any movement to say anything. Secondly, as we exited, we were informed that it will be 100 Baht to take a photo with the performers (which is fine). My wife was very excited as she really liked the show. But then immediately was gouged for 400!! we requested one person for a photo with my wife, but they pulled in another person and then “demanded a selfie” with all of us as well which brought the price right up to 400… We felt this was the level of a strip show robbing of our money and really spoiled our enjoyment of the show. We are very sad because the show was very good.

We expected an entertaining and funny show, but instead it was a rendition of the moulin rouge, but with miming and average dancing. The dancers are beautiful and costumes good, but really the show was mediocre and choice of music boring

We loved it , very well organised and so enjoyable . Just be very careful at the end , all the “ladies “ are lined up offering photos , if you take them up on the offer you are then asked for money ! A good show to see

Fantastic show, well done and professional. Costumes are 1st rate and the theatre is beautiful. Staff are friendly and courteous

I may be getting old but I know what works and what doesn’t. We went tonSimon Cabaret about 12 years ago when it was fun, engaging and quick witted and a proper drag show. This time around it has been turned into a cultural “las Vegas” type show. there is plenty of other cultural shows you can attend in Phuket which is why I am surprised that this venue had made such a dramatic change.

What a great Show! Choreography, costumes, music, dancing and stage sets all amazing. Unfortunately you are not permitted to take pictures or videos but please do not miss the chance to see this terrific show. Usually your hotel can arrange a taxi there and back. The venue is classy and fabulous with a great bar for fabulous cocktails before the show!!! You are also given the chance to have a photograph with the stars of the show afterwards (for a small charge).
