Malthouse Theatre (Australia)

Featuring Mitchell Butel

‘Leaving audiences dangling helplessly at her feet, the postmodern international diva proved that the world is her litterbox.' Time Out New York

The cat is back, and you won't believe where she's been.

International sensation Meow Meow takes up residency in the magical Famous Spiegeltent, with a sizzling show that will defrost even the coldest of hearts.

Hans Christian Andersen's bittersweet fable is just a springboard into the wild realms of theatrical possibility. As our despairing match girl staves off the cruel cold of winter with her dwindling supply of flames, she turns to her dreams and the light of the stars to find a way home. With claws of humour and heartache, pathos and irreverence, Meow carves a tuneful trail through the icy reaches of the modern soul.

Collaborating with Malthouse Theatre Artistic Director Marion Potts, composer Iain Grandage, the Wild Dog Orchestra and the ever-dexterous Mitchell Butel, Meow and her team create a fantastical flight of fancy with the darkest of edges.

This is sure to sell out - make sure you book early to this year's Spiegeltent smash hit.
