Glamorous showgirls back on stage for a charity show
After April's success of The Last Day Show: Will I Survive?, the hilarious Day Freeman and her sassy pal Pipat "Khaimook" Puengsub bring the glamorous showgirls back on stage today (Aug 28)for another round of amusing entertainment.
"Those who missed the shows in April asked us to produce CDs, which would likely lead to piracy. So if people want to see the show, we would rather do it live, which is much more fun for the audience to see us sing and dance on the stage rather than on a flat screen," said Auntie Day, Thailand's top drag queen.
The new version continues to be a combination of musical, stand-up comedy and cabaret show - all in all, a spectacle to get people rolling in the aisles. The divas, Wasan "Nong" Uttamayothin, Warayut "Kai" Milintrjinda and Yuthana "Jaew" Lophanpaibool as well as the dashing Jason Young all make a comeback for the Return of the Last Day Show:Will I Survive?
This time, dad-to-be Somchai "Tao" Khemklad and Daraneenuch "Top" Phopiti join the cast for the gags-guaranteed show, which is about a theatre going bankrupt because people have become less interested in cabaret shows and Auntie Day not giving up to save the theatre and the showgirls.
"There's the drama because the story is based on the hardship of being a showgirl,which is based on their real lives. But it's more of a comedy to bust stress and bring on the laughter," she said."Above all, it's for a good cause with proceeds helping poor patients."
The show supports Ramathibodi Hospital's Bone Marrow Transplantation Project under royal patronage of HM the Queen, which involves helping kids with thalassemia. RT
"The Return of the Last Day Show: Will I Survive?"begins today (Aug 28) at Aksra Theatre, King Power Complex, Rang Nam Road, with two performances at 3pm and 8:30pm from Aug 28-30 and Sept 4-5.Tickets cost 500,800,1,000,1,200,1,500,2,000 and 3,000 baht.
