A different kind of getai

I was at a chalet last saturday and there is this unit next door staging a "getai"

You can really see the effort they put in, decorating an area for stage and putting up skirtings on the balcony above to create a stage/theatre feel.

And the performers are....*drum roll*......transvetites.
4 main characters dressing as women together with a guy and performing dances with songs. They had very elaborate costumes and synchronised dance steps.

They sing in groups and as individuals performing mandarin and english songs. So entertaining although not really suitable for the younger kids.
