Exhibition Introduction
A magnificent stage where stars gather and shine brightly
"Sapphire Grand Cabaret" is a grand performance where people express their true feelings. What is "performed" here is the life of the people, and what is "sung" is the emotion from the heart. Each performance and song tells the story of a generation's youthful memories.
By sorting through precious historical materials, preserving objects with a sense of the era, and recreating classic glamorous show costumes, one can see the glorious years and rise and fall of the Sapphire Grand Cabaret, learn about the various interesting anecdotes of the show venue, and experience the grand occasion of stars gathering.
Recreating the Sapphire Grand Stage – The "Essence" of Performance
The show host's skillful guidance makes the interconnected performances rich, varied, delicate, and interesting, filling the show venue with laughter and joy. This highlights the host's various skills in "speaking, learning, teasing, and singing." "Speaking" uses easy-to-understand jokes to connect each performance; "learning" deeply impresses people with cross-dressing and exaggerated imitations; "teasing" makes the audience burst into laughter with self-deprecating humor; and "singing" often involves improvising lyrics in different songs, creating classic parody songs like Geliang Zhu's "Mountains South, Mountains North," bringing endless surprises to the audience.
These sounds of joy and laughter intertwine to create the unique scenery of the cabaret show, allowing us to recount the sincere memories of youth from that time.
From Onstage to Backstage – The Charm of "Singing"
Many wonderful "onstage" performances are closely related to the efforts "backstage." Here, we shift our perspective from "onstage" to "backstage," focusing on "singing" to showcase the dazzling and varied dances and the glorious moments of singers, such as the dynamic and passionate performances of Lin Chong, the unique voice of the pure singer Mei Dai, the beautiful and sexy Chen Meifeng, and the deeply affectionate Hong Ronghong. These show legends are all unforgettable.
Each glamorous show costume, each yellowed photograph, and each in-depth interview allow those beautiful years to remain in our hearts forever.

I still remember watching the Sapphire Grand Cabaret videotapes as a child and finding them hilarious. The hosts would pull out all the stops to make everyone burst into laughter.

Recalling my childhood memories, I saw some old photos of celebrities I knew, their performance contracts, and personal items, which I found very novel!

I have never seen a show at my age, so seeing these show clothes and some show culture feels very fresh, and I can bring my parents back to reminisce about it.

The exhibition venue is very small. If you don’t listen to the earphone guide, the actual tour may end in ten minutes. With the earphone guide, it will take about 20 minutes. Although the ticket price is not expensive, it may be disappointing for those who want to relive the show culture. But I really recommend you to listen to the tour with headphones, and I highly recommend the Taiwanese tour. Zhu Geliang’s explanation is so funny.

You can learn about the history of cabaret shows, but there isn't much to see. The service staff are very nice.

The exhibition area is very, very, very small… Considering its grandeur back then, they could have showcased more stories and exhibits. It's a real shame, and I hope the organizers can put in more effort to enrich it. The only plus I can think of is the surprise in the tour guide device.

You can learn a bit about the history of old performance venues, and there are interactive games related to Kaohsiung pop music to play and learn from. Both locations are in the same building, and it's quite a good value to see both exhibitions with a combined ticket.
