The internationally acclaimed, award-winning, audience-surfing, bustier-clad and uber-bendy singing sensation MEOW MEOW returns to N.Y.C. just in time to deck the halls of the Highline Ballroom for four nights only with her special and sizzling brand of provocative holiday cheerotica in Meow to the World!

Press notes highlight the performances as "fresh from sold out engagements in Berlin, the Pina Bausch Tanz Festival, Shanghai, and Sydney, and teamed with dreamy musical director Lance Horne, Meow Meow climbs the walls and concocts all manner of unpredictable and untraditional holiday delights in this new and deliciously naughty concert cabaret. Meow to the World! puts the X back in X-mas and will have audiences purring".
