Time Out says

Since its grand opening in January 2023, the Grand Electric has taken over the OG home of the dearly departed Giant Dwarf Theatre former Performance Space building in Surry Hills. The venue focuses on world-class cabaret and new circus productions, with comedy shows to boot.

Our tip: don't cut your arrival too close to the curtain, and make sure you have a little time to luxuriate in the French-inspired courtyard peppered with original mural artwork by Max Elbourne. 

No food is served at the venue, but there is a multitude of dining options in the neighbourhood of Surry Hills. Restaurants can be found all along Cleveland Street and Pitt Street, and the bustle of Crown Street is only a 10-minute walk away.

What’s on

La Ronde

If you’re looking for a night out where serotonin is dialled up to the max – it’s a seat at The Grand Electric. La Ronde is a cheeky, jaw-dropping performance hitting the intimate stage in Surry Hills this autumn. It has wowed audiences in Adelaide, Newcastle, Darwin, Auckland and Sydney, and now it’s now back in town for a second season.  The high-adrenaline affair made waves as one of the must-see shows of the Adelaide Fringe – clocking up an immense amount of five-star reviews in the process. While some of the other shows by the same creators, like Blanc de Blanc, are a little more risqué, La Ronde is a fun night out for anyone over 15.  Live music sets the stage for some gravity-defying stunts and glitzy disco fever. There’s so much variety in the show that it’s got something for everyone from avid theatre-goers to couples on date night. With a super interactive ringside experience, it also serves as the ultimate group night out where bubbles and gasps flow generously.  Catch La Ronde at The Grand Electric in Surry Hills until May 10. Tickets start from $86 and you can get yours here.
