The New Yorker - USA (2019-12-16)

(Antfer) #1
If your preferred holiday flavor is more dry Martini than eggnog, consider celebrating the season with the
cabaret diva Meow Meow, who channels Ute Lemper, Édith Piaf, and other totems of jaded glamour in her
mascara-heavy persona. She’s part of a neo-cabaret scene that spikes nostalgia for bygone chanteuses with the
danger and urgency of performance art. (She has been known to crowd-surf.) Born Melissa Madden Gray,
in Australia, she comes to BAM’s Harvey Theatre, Dec. 12-14, with “A Very Meow Meow Holiday Show.”
