Never before had a company of Lady Boys performed a show in the western world.\u00a0 Almost two decades on and the Lady Boys of Bangkok is still the only show of its kind this side of Bangkok. But it no longer relies simply on novelty \u2013 it is a fantastic, non-stop spectacular theatrical experience. A complete entertainment specially created for a British audience.\u00a0 It has become an un-missable date for thousands of people who form the heart of a very loyal audience supporting us year after year &#8211; sometimes visiting the show more than once in a season and looking forward to the event as their \u201cbig night out\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0 Hen parties, too find it the perfect event to be at the centre of their celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach show takes a year to plan, rehearse and produce and although it is extremely hard work, there is no better feeling in the world than watching our audiences become totally involved in the pure pleasure of the show.<\/p>\n<p>Executive Director, Carol Gandey, added;\u201d Planning such an extensive tour as the Lady Boys of Bangkok undertake every year is a major project.\u00a0 Not only is the show performed in our own Sabai Pavilion, but also tours theatres throughout the length and breadth of the British Isles.\u00a0 But from the feedback we receive we know just how much the tour is appreciated and looked forward to.\u00a0 Theatres have created a loyal and large following and each year we are constantly adding new theatres and playing to new audiences.\u00a0 We greatly appreciate the opportunity to reach an audience that otherwise might not be able to see the show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>The Lady Boys of Bangkok<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Ladyboys of Bangkok consists of a cast of 16 male artistes. Last year the tour raised over \u00a318,000.00 from audience collections for their chosen charity \u2018Safe Child Thailand\u2019 which is helping to end child exploitation in Thailand.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.safechildthailand.org\/\">https:\/\/www.safechildthailand.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Gandey World Class Productions<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For more than 40 years, Gandey World class Productions has staged some of the World\u2019s most famous shows and memorable productions in cities across the world.\u00a0 Its portfolio includes Gandeys Circus, The Chinese State Circus, Cirque Surreal, The Ladyboys of Bangkok, Spirit of the Horse and Fist of the Dragon.<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gandey.com\">www.gandey.com<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Returning in style with the fabulous 20th Anniversary Tour!
