ABOUT BOXING CABARET



After the sold-out world premiere season at The Esplanade during the Singapore Arts Festival, Boxing Cabaret, the unique one-woman show by the former male kickboxing champ from Thailand will return to Singapore - LIVE on stage at Raffles Hotel's Jubilee Hall.

Presented in five rounds of comedy, drama, songs and dance, this interactive solo-performance pits Parinya Charoenphol (affectionately known as Nong Toom in Thailand) against Men, Love, Muay Thai, the Audience and Herself. The show is performed in English with musical numbers in various languages.

Inspired by the people she’s punched, the places she’s been and the feelings few have experienced, Boxing Cabaret is written and produced by Ekachai Uekrongtham, artistic director of ACTION Theatre (Singapore) and director of Beautiful Boxer, the internationally acclaimed film about Nong Toom’s life. It’s directed one of Thailand’s most respected theatre directors Suwandee Jakravoravudh.

Nong Toom will be once again accompanied on piano by well-known Singapore-based Filipino singer/musician Babes Conde who will also perform several duets with her in Thai, English and Mandarin.

For the return season, in addition to the original 5 rounds of comedy, drama, songs & dance, watch out for new materials inspired by Nong Toom's idols such as Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Ziyi, Angelina Jolie and Mulan! There will also be newly choreographed dance sequences blending the martial art movements of Thai kickboxing with the Likay (traditional Thai street opera).

So hurry, don’t miss out this time! Join Nong Toom for an unforgettable evening of hirarious interactive fun, beautiful musical moments, energetic dance numbers and heartfelt honesty.
