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.

Celebrating ten years since it first astounded audiences at the Sydney Opera House in 2016, this burlesque show is back with an all-new cast. Get ready for an adults-only spectacular serving up a heady mix of cabaret, cheeky humour, Champagne and jaw-dropping circus acts. Leading the line-up is charismatic American host Alex Makardish, fresh from extended seasons in London and Melbourne, along with world champion contortionist Misha Makarov. Aerialists Duo Coco and Marie also join the cast, with French performer Marie Lebot and Canadian performer Corentin Lemaitre Auger making their Sydney stage debuts. Watching these artistes twist, tumble and soar through the air, you can’t help but marvel at their incredible athleticism and flexibility. Produced by Jess Copas, Blanc de Blanc has charmed audiences from London’s West End to Las Vegas with its intoxicating blend of cabaret, circus and comedy. Whether you’re planning a date night or a fun evening out with the girls, prepare to leave everyday life at the door and embrace your wild side.  Blanc de Blanc runs from October 28, 2026 to January 24, 2027 at The Grand Electric, Surry Hills.
