When asked about what he thinks are the main differences between the old and new queens, and what advice might he have for aspiring drag queens, Kumar reflected. While decentralised after Boom Boom Room's closure, drag found a way to survive in Singapore through small communities and shows across the tiny island. In fact, it seemed that the public even celebrated the tradition that was Bugis Street."Īfter Bugis Street got slated to develop into the shopping attraction it is today, Boom Boom Room relocated to Far East Square in 2000, before shutting its door for good in 2004. "I'd like to think that Singaporeans have always only seen Boom Boom Room as pure entertainment, putting aside the original connotations of transvestites in association with Bugis Street. When asked about how he felt about the evolution of Boom Boom Room, Dick Lee has this to say. Lys is known for her impersonations of divas such as Madonna, Lady Gaga and Marilyn Monroe, while also being an esteemed choreographer and regular feature at shows such as ActionforAids, Pinkdot and Hyper Sundays. Helda was the host of Asia’s Uncut Season 1 on Star World and has walked for Jean-Paul Gaultier during Singapore Fashion Week 2007. On their own, these two queens are also powerhouse performers. He wrote most of his own scripts filled with clean jokes, which, unfortunately, were not as popular as the risqué jokes and observations about daily life in Singapore, which he is now famous for.Īpart from stand-up performances, Kumar also performed with fellow queens Helda and Lys, to popular tunes of the era. There, Kumar’s routines included song and dance in addition to stand-up comedy. Again I apologize that you all had a negative experience but I can say we tried our best to accommodate every issue.It was at the OG Boom Boom Room where Kumar got his big break, as he was offered the starring role at the new establishment in 1992. I am proud to be a black female business owner and will continue to grow and enhance our offerings. We are a small local business trying to succeed in St. And one of the guests pushed Jeffrey at the end of service ready to start a fight after he asked to view everyone’s paid receipts and then being told to “f-off.” In our 3 years of being open we have never had anything like this happen. The same guest and his date requested a refund for show tickets, they were refunded and they still wanted to sit there. One of the guests flung the chair as we were trying to add more seating. Some in the party was very rude to their server Jack from the beginning making it uncomfortable for anyone to be of assistance. Also on our website it is noted that the space is intimate, many at the party had bags, purses etc next to them causing other guests not to have space. which delayed the process more in figuring out who belonged at the party. That’s not possible so I asked her to have those guests call me, I never received a phone call so I assumed that was resolved. Also the show was sold out and one of the host called and said that people purchased tickets and the website sent them a confirmation email and told them it was for 10:30 P.M. The salad has a lemon poppyseed vinaigrette dressing but mostly everyone asked for ranch. That was a major request which we normally would not have done but we did so anyway. One of the party host called to have everyone’s second course which is normally pork belly atop of roasted brussel sprouts changed to chicken. You attended the 29 guest birthday party that we tried very hard to accommodate for. I’m sorry you had a bad experience at The Boom Boom Room. ![]() Unfortunately, I think we could have paid for the “silver seats” and had just as good of a view. We paid $165 per ticket for the “gold seats”, Which gave us a nice view of the dance floor where the performers were. It said there was no nudity but in a few of the dance acts, the girls are in pasties and a thong only. The three male dance performances were a little cheesy for my taste but I know that is relative and maybe others loved it. I would have rather paid less money for my ticket and had more time to dance. Suggestions: Shorten the number of dance performances so that we have more time to dance! Food was served at 8 PM and we didn’t get on the dance floor until 11:30 PM. The dancers were fun and the best entertainment was definitely the girl who did the fire hula hoop and Ariel silk dancing. Our server did a great job considering how busy she was. ![]() Positives: The MC was fantastic, in her gorgeous and outrageous costumes, she was funny and perfect for the job. A few suggestions could enhance the New Year’s Eve experience for everybody! Overall, our party of seven had a great time. ![]()
