Chiang Mai has a new entertainment venue the Playhouse Entertainment Complex that targets international visitors.
The Playhouse performs stage shows that are a mix of singing, dancing and lip sync. Performances are based on excerpts from famous Broadway musical dramas such as Chicago. The show lasts one hour with no intermission.
Shows will be refreshed every three to four months and most of the 30 performers are young adults, resident in Chiang Mai. Shows are scheduled two times a day, except Sunday, at 0800 and 2200.
The venue is a renovated theatre that seat up to 350 people. It has a 50 metre long stage. Named the Playhouse, it also has a relaxing area called Stage Bar for guests and non-theatre visitors who want to enjoy a drink and listen to a band playing Thai and English songs. Open from 1800 to 0100.
On Saturday, the theatre features a Thai buffet dinner from 1830 to 1950 with two Thai dance performances on a man-made waterfall. The Kinnaree Park dinner can cater for up to 50 persons. Reservations are required. Eventually the buffet dinner will be a daily feature.
The theatre is located on Chang Pueak Road, close to Mercure Chiang Mai and Chang Pueak Bus Station.
