Having wowed New York's Carnegie Hall, the world-renowned performer behind Meow Meow’s Little Match Girl and Meow Meow’s Little Mermaid now urgently remedies ‘The Red Shoes’. This fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen brutally punished its covetous protagonist with an ever-dancing curse that propelled her far from heaven’s gates. Meow Meow asks: what if she could never start dancing at all? Can we save her? Can we save the world?!
A musical celebration that will shock you out of stagnancy and into ecstatic oblivion from ‘the queen of chanson’ (Berliner Zeitung) with ‘devilish funny bones and heavenly vocal chords’ (Evening Standard UK), Meow Meow.
Leave in love with life again.
Remember why you wanted to dance in the first place.
