About Sian Lesley Cabaret Dinner Show at The Ritz
Sian Lesley Cabaret Dinner Show at The Ritz is a locals' event first, the kind of thing The Ritz Madeira, Avenida Arriaga 33, Funchal residents put in the group chat rather than a travel itinerary. Visitors are welcome; expect a small, friendly crowd and a programme that assumes you live here.
No booking strategy needed, this is a turn-up-on-the-night event and the audience will be mostly locals. It's a genuine window into The Ritz Madeira, Avenida Arriaga 33, Funchal's week rather than a tourist production.
The format is a proper old-school dinner dance: tables in the upstairs restaurant, a three-course meal with red, white and rosé wines, Portuguese beer or soft drinks served until dessert, then the cabaret show and a dance floor that stays open late. It runs every Saturday evening from 19:00.
Sian Lesley started her career at the Moulin Rouge and later the Lido de Paris before launching her own production, which has become a long-running fixture of Funchal's Saturday nights.
