CABARET SHOW
Rosana Broadway
( 063-769991;
www.rosanabroadway.com
; US$25-45; 7.30pm)
Bringing a bit of Bangkok-
style Broadway to Siem Reap, this show includes cultural dances from the region and a
not-so-cultural ladyboy cabaret, but ticket prices are on the high side.
Smile of Angkor
( 063-655 0168;
www.smileofangkor.net
; US$45-55; 7.15pm)
Popular with some Asian tour
groups, this is the glitziest dinner-dance show in town, but in reality it doesn't live up to
the hefty price tag.
DINNER SHOW
Temple Club
(Pub St; from 7.30pm)
Free traditional dance show upstairs from 7.30pm, providing
punters order some food and drink from the very reasonably priced menu.

US$15/8, premium seats US$35/18; 7.30pm) is so much more than a conventional circus, with an
emphasis on performance art and a subtle yet striking social message behind each production. Cam-
bodia's leading circus, theatre and performing arts organisation, Phare Ponleu Selpak opened its big
top for nightly shows in 2013 and the results are a unique form of entertainment that should be con-
sidered unmissable when staying in Siem Reap. Several generations of performers have graduated
through Phare's original Battambang campus and have gone on to perform in international shows
around the world. Many of the performers have deeply moving personal stories of abuse and hardship,
making their talents a triumph against the odds. An inspiring night out for adults and children alike, all
proceeds are reinvested into Phare Ponleu Selpak activities. Animal lovers will be pleased to note
there are no animals used in any performance.
