If you've spent any time in Shanghai, chances are you've heard of The Pearl, the city's much-loved live entertainment venue known for its rock concerts, cabaret, burlesque and wonderfully over-the-top performances. Behind much of its story is Grant Buchwald, better known as Papa G, the red-bearded impresario who's helped make The Pearl a Shanghai nightlife institution.
Now the venue is turning 13, and it's celebrating with a massive night of entertainment. On Friday, November 13, expect more than 20 performers, live music, cabaret, aerial acts and plenty of sing-alongs. Basically, they're not planning on giving you much time to sit still.
There's an extra reason to show up, too. Grant is heading to Chiang Mai after nearly 21 years in Shanghai, so this is a chance to raise a glass, celebrate 13 years of memorable nights and give Papa G a proper send-off. Whether you're a longtime regular or have never set foot inside The Pearl, this is a good excuse to join the party.
