Priced in-between Alcazar (on sale) and Tiffany’s. Located somewhat outside of Pattaya CBD so price transportation into cost (+100–300 baht). Both largest and newest theater (2013) and show, not heavily promoted, relying on word-of-mouth to spread in first decade of operation. Completely original songs and choreography, while keeping with normal boilerplate themes. Sound mix amplifies the vocal sections making it easier for the performers to lipsync, and provide full immersion. This should be done more often. However, the stage may be too large to properly utilize. During intermissions VIP seats cannot see what is going on behind them in mezzanine. There’s 3–4 coyote dancers and a talent showcase performer. The costumes are quite substantial, and the dancers, like Tiffany’s, have conservative features. Extremely low audience, due to distance, Coronavirus travel restrictions, and size of auditorium; but the dancers are not aggressive for tips, likely due to general salary.

*Boilerplate Thai-based shows use one of four well regarded choreographers to produce a showcase of culture on a single theater stage, but have recurring themes and songs between them. For example, following songs should be expected: One Man Woman, Thailand song, Chinese FAN song, Indian Wedding song, Fat Chinese Woman intermission.

From March 9, 2020 in my OneNote.
