So long UK. For now the LadyBoys have departed but fear not, for they shall return in 2010 for the feathers and fantasy tour....
It’s non-stop entertainment all the way. From Lady Gaga to the Saturdays …from Sarah Brightman to Bryan Adams... from a fantasy in outer space to the intensity of sensuous Latin rhythms…. from West End musical to Hollywood blockbuster…. the hits keep on coming as only Lady Boys of Bangkok can deliver. Also singled out for special attention is their favourite Thai TV show – BANGKOX GOT TALENT. But other than saying they are inviting some “celebrity guests” they are keeping the details very close to their ample bosoms.
There will be more costumes (nearly 500) than ever before to , quite literally, cover the vast range of production numbers - ranging from Starship Troopers to hot –blooded Latins; from stylised casual summer wear to fantastic feathers and even from the historical to the hysterical.
Executive Producer Carol Gandey said she was delighted to bring the show back to the UK for a 12th successive year. “During our 2009 tour there was a large increase in the number of men accompanying their wives or partners to the show. Many of them have told us they were sorry that they hadn’t been to see the show in earlier years. In fact several have told us they thought their wives or partners had been deliberately putting them off coming to see the show so that they could have a really good girl’s-night-out!”

She added; “There is also a continuing increase in the number of hen-parties due to the special package we offer.”

Director Phillip Gandey said “The Lady Boys of Bangkok now occupies a unique position in the world of entertainment. When we staged the first show in Edinburgh 13 years ago, there were those who said it had no future. Yet each year our audiences continue to grow and our productions become more ambitious. Laughter is a vital element in every show. Our audiences want a good night out – a night where they can really let go and enjoy themselves.

The LadyBoys of Bangkok have arrived and settled into Belfast like a duck to water and what a warm welcome they are receiving...Although the show is not sold out each night there is still a great atmosphere and the crowds are loving it....

The Mile High Tour has left Edinburgh Runway. Before touching down in Newcastle this week, the flight had to make a quick stop in Kirkcaldy, for snacks
