“The show was very entertaining and well worth attending. The booking experience, however, was frustrating. According to Simon Cabaret's own website there were relatively few seats available for the session we attended. The reality was that the theatre was only half full. We ended up with fabulous centre-stage seats on the top floor (O12 and O13), the only problem being that the theatre double-booked those seats. They eventually sorted things out.”

“Amazing show! We were blown away by the variety and quality of the costumes, the dancers are amazing and moving with such ease and grace even in those complex outfits without a single part of costumes moving or falling, I think it requeres a lot of skill and practice also. Definitely worth the visit! The only thing we didn’t notice/know, after the show when you step out, the dancers are inviting you to take pictures with them, but then they request money for it, 100baht per dancer. Later we discovered that it is written on the wall behind them, but for us it was hard to spot the sign coz…”
