Who is Va-Va-Voom Productions?

Va-Va-Voom Productions aims to create vivacious and unique cabaret, burlesque & vaudeville to entertain audiences in Auckland and around New Zealand

Our ethos:

It is Va-Va Voom Productions desire to create innovative and creative works, pushing the boundaries of what everyone's interpretation of "cabaret" is and seeing how maluable it can be. With Dark Horse Cabaret Presents: Grimm - this is no exception.

The project: 

Using a cast of expert multidisciplinary New Zealand artists including Lilly Loca (Vaudeville) Leda Petit (Burlesque) Chris Olwage (Dancer) Samuel Christopher (Actor) Jess Sayer & Robin Kelly (Songstress & Musician) Ivan the Red & Pandora Cherie (Circus) we will take the tales and characters of The Brothers Grimm and give them a new lease of life through performance theatre.

For this show, we are taking the foundations of the cabaret structure and immersing it into the realm of theatre. Creating a through-line, using the stories of the Brothers Grimm as well as using innovative audio-visual, set and sound techniques to create the world of the show.

With your help - we can make this show a wondrous success!

Why do we need your help?

Natalie at Va-Va-Voom Productions has always self-funded her projects. As a freelancer, it's getting increasingly more difficult to rely on personal funds to enable a project to succeed. Funding grants tend to find the cabaret genre a bit of an "unknown" and there fore it is quite difficult to succeed in funding. But you can help. 

How can you help us realise our goal?

We need financial help to go towards the costs of creating and decorating the set, plus the costs for the audio-visual components of the production. This amounts to $2,000.00.
