Description A decidedly un-Disney cabaret, where sexy spectacle drips into a bittersweet take on what constitutes a ‘happy ending’. Post-postmodern diva Meow Meow raucously subverts Hans Christian Andersen’s mermaid tale of teen self-sacrifice, salvation and seduction. A world of old sea shanties and hymns from the Titanic gives way to a glittering array of contemporary originals, as she sails to a land of altered hearts, minds and body parts.
