The Calypso Cabaret at Asiatique Riverfront is absolutely awesome. The cast is very beautiful and the music, dancing and lip syncing is great. I’ve seen the show 3 times since 2019. However, I find the segment with Patti LaBelle to be very offensive and degrading. In the show Patti LaBelle is depicted as a clown like character with a bad hair-do, horrible costume and extremely bad clown makeup. This character needs a complete makeover. I am not sure why the show’s producer decided to depict the LEGENDARY Patti LaBelle in this manner but I find it degrading. Ms. LaBelle is a classy, sophisticated and beautiful REAL woman with extraordinary talent, who in no way resembles a clown. All of the other characters in the show are extremely beautiful except the one female black character who portrays Patti LaBelle. What’s the message here?
Dear Guest, Thank you for your review and for your long-standing loyalty to the show. We are glad the dancing and performances continue to impress you. Regarding your feedback on the Patti LaBelle tribute: please be assured that your perspective has been noted. We strive to celebrate icons through parody, but we understand your concerns regarding how this segment is perceived and will discuss this with our creative directors. In the future, please feel free to request a word with the manager on the night of your visit; we find that immediate, face-to-face feedback is the best way for us to understand and act on our guests' remarks. We value your input and hope to see you again for another visit. Regards. Paul

We loved cruising on the White Orchid. Making this crossing at night is magical. The Calypso show was breathtaking and it ended our evening in style. The production is excellent. Artists are entertaining. We had an amazing evening!
Merci beaucoup pour votre merveilleux commentaire ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez adoré la croisière sur le White Orchid et trouvé le spectacle Calypso aussi époustouflant. C’est fantastique de savoir que la magie de la nuit et les performances des artistes ont rendu votre soirée inoubliable. Nous espérons vous accueillir à nouveau très bientôt pour une autre expérience tout aussi spectaculaire !
Absolutely amazing, so entertainnighting! Beside the night market along the riverfront so make time to visit this as well. We bought our tickets through our hotel so probably paid more than we should have. Cost us $1800 baht for two people but after seeing the show it was totally worth it. You can buy tickets outside at the booth in the night market. We had a table to sit at but I am sure the seats without tables were cheaper. Would absolutely go to this show again if I ever returned to Bangkok!
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such an amazing and entertaining night at Calypso Cabaret. It’s great that you also enjoyed exploring the nearby night market — it really adds to the whole riverfront experience. We’re delighted you found the show well worth it and would love to come again. We’ll be here to welcome you back with even more dazzling performances next time you’re in Bangkok! Thanks, Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)
