Roller-skating queens, giant sugar cubes, inflatable flamingos and plenty of audience participation await in this wonderfully bonkers trip to Wonderland. Scroll down to find out how to enter.
If you thought you knew the story of Alice in Wonderland... think again.
The Mad Hatter's Tea Party is returning to The Grand Electric in Sydney these school holidays, transforming Lewis Carroll's classic tale into a wildly imaginative, interactive adventure where giant soft sugar cubes fly through the air, the Red Kween glides around on roller skates, and the audience ends up dancing with inflatable flamingos.
We've got a family pass to give away! Scroll down to find out how to enter.
What's the Mad Hatter's Tea Party all about?
Once inside Wonderland, you'll meet the mischievous March Hare, the grinning Cheshire Cat, the smoke-blowing Caterpillar, the ever-frazzled White Rabbit, the Tweedle twins and, of course, the wonderfully bossy Red Kween.
The action never really stops. One minute there's a performer balancing a pole from their mouth with a spinning plate perched on top. The next, hats are flying through the air, aerial artists are soaring overhead, and before you know it you're dodging giant sugar cubes and joining in a flamingo dance party.
Directed by former Circus Oz Artistic Director Mike Finch, the show blends world-class acrobatics, aerial silks, juggling, balancing acts, music and comedy into an experience that's playful, cheeky and wonderfully unpredictable. It's packed with visual spectacle to keep kids completely captivated, while adults will enjoy the clever humour and cabaret-style wit woven throughout.
Colourful, immersive and gloriously bonkers, Mad Hatter's Tea Party is unlike any family theatre experience we've come across. If your family loves Alice in Wonderland—or simply enjoys shows where absolutely anything can happen—this is one to add to your school holiday list.
