MAD HATTER’S TEA PARTY
 

Where circus meets comedy meets Wonderland — and everyone is invited to The Grand Electric this summer

Sydney audiences are invited to tumble down the rabbit hole these summer holidays as The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party brings its wild, whimsical, and delightfully topsy-turvy circus-cabaret to The Grand Electric from 3 to 25 January 2026.

This cheeky and chaotic family spectacle promises an hour of immersive fun, high-flying acrobatics, quirky characters and infectious laughter for the young and the young-at-heart.

Originally inspired by the acclaimed 2017–2018 production Funatorium: The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, which charmed audiences at the Sydney Opera House, QPAC and Auckland Live, this brand-new 2026 incarnation arrives with fresh energy, new cast members and an even bigger appetite for absolute Wonderland mayhem.

Directed by Mike Finch, former Artistic Director of Circus Oz, the show blends world-class circus, playful storytelling and riotous audience interaction into one irresistibly mad tea party.
