Post-post-modern diva Meow Meow has hypnotised, inspired, and terrified audiences globally with unique creations and sell-out seasons from New York's Lincoln Centre and Berlin's Bar Jeder Vernunft to London's West End and the Sydney Opera House.
As well as being a prolific original music, theatre and dance-theatre creator for such commissioners as Pina Bausch, David Bowie and Mikhail Baryshnikov,
Meow Meow specialises in the Weimar repertoire and French chanson. She has played Jenny in Brecht/Weill's Threepenny Opera in Paris and London with the London Philharmonic and Anna 1and 2 in Brecht/Weill's Seven Deadly Sins with Orchestra Victoria, and with United Ensemble at the Konzerthaus Berlin.
Meow Meow's original works include Vamp, Beyond Glamour, Feline Intimate, Meow Meow's Little Match Girl, Meow Meow's Little Mermaid, His Master's Choice, Apocalypse Meow, and An Audience with Meow Meow. Concert work includes Meow Meow's Pandemonium with the London Philharmonic, Bergen Philharmonic and Sydney Symphony Orchestras. She recently appeared in Barry Humphries's critically acclaimed Weimar Cabaret season at the Barbican and at the Kennedy Centre in Washington DC.
In other works, Meow has played Titania in Emma Rice's A Midsummer Night's Dream at Shakespeare's Globe and appeared on the West End in Kneehigh and Michel Legrand's The Umbrellas of Cherbourg in a role created especially for her - La Maîtresse. She played Pegleg in Tom Waits' musical fable The Black Rider with Victorian Opera and Malthouse Theatre; Édith Piaf in Cocteau's Le Bel Indifferent, for the Greenwich Music Festival and an acclaimed Miss Adelaide in Guys and Dolls with the Royal Philharmonic at Royal Albert Hall.
Meow Meow has performed as guest artist with iconic orchestra Pink Martini at the Berlin Philharmonie, Royal Albert Hall, Opera Garnier Monte Carlo, the Hollywood Bowl, and across the concert stages of Europe, Canada, and the United States. Their album Hotel Amour: Meow Meow with Thomas M. Lauderdale includes duets with Rufus Wainwright, Barry Humphries, the Von Trapps and the late Michel Legrand. It was released in 2019 and named one of The Times' top 100 albums of the year.
Meow Meow is a favourite performer at Adelaide Cabaret Festival and returns this year performing with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. Meow Meow's Pandemonium plays at Her Majesty's Theatre on June 18th.
