Updated: Nov 04, 2026

Following two hugely successful Sydney seasons and more than 200 five-star audience reviews, Mad Hatter’s Tea Party is coming to The West End Electric for the first time this December. 

Directed by Mike Finch, former Artistic Director of Circus Oz, and produced by Kirsten Siddle of Broad Encounters, the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party takes Lewis Carroll’s much-loved characters and sends them spinning into an immersive theatrical world where very little goes according to plan.

With costume and set design by Melanie Liertz, the production bursts into life through vivid colour, texture and visual mischief. A dynamic ensemble of Australian circus and theatre artists will bring Wonderland’s unforgettable collection of misfits to life.

But who says the kids get to have all the fun? With spectacular circus, cheeky humour and glorious chaos, there's just as much to delight the grown-ups!
