Nighttime Showstoppers

“We are rated as number four when it comes to being showstoppers in the world. Our performances are a delightful mix of comedy,cabaret,raunchy capers wherein all the members essay the role of great icons and living legends of theatre,” says Taenhatai aka Pom who is a Thailand-based hotelier. As she introduces the troupe,all of whom are dressed to kill at Kava restaurant in Sector 26,it’s a tad difficult to break the ice,so we get to the point. “This is our first trip to Chandigarh and we are all set to delight the audience here,” says Pom.

In Chandigarh,the troupe is all prepped up with 16 ladyboys and five boys to bedazzle the audience. Flying in the troupe for the performances in the city are city-based friends Tuneet Walia and Dr Rajni Lamba as a part of the Fantasy and Feathers concert 2011. “I’ve been visiting Thailand for years now,and I never come back without seeing a Ladyboy performance,and so,I thought why not bring the same to Chandigarh,” says Walia,who is a Chandigarh-based businesswoman.

The highlight of the show is the troupe’s version of Munni badnaam hui and Sheila ki jawani ,for which city-based choreographer and salsa champion Varun DS Rana has trained them. Rana spent ten days with the troupe in Thailand to train them in Bollywood style. “These dancers do not care what people say or think. They just dance,and you should see them — their energy levels,moves,nuances are simply irresistible. Once on stage,they are electrifying,” says Rana who has Misha dancing to Munni,Jacqueline to Sheila and Tammy to Chaiyya Chaiyya.

The show will also have dazzling sets and backdrops to showcase Bangkok’s exotic nightlife. “We are planning to have a colourful combination of costumes,dazzling lights and innovative sets,” says Pom about the troupe that performs for at least six months in a year in Britain alone. After Chandigarh,The Ladyboys travel to Ludhiana for a slew of performances there.
