Cabaret star Meow Meow is running a little late, but this isn’t the method acting of a self-titled diva. She’s had to manage getting into full glam — sequins, spidery lashes, the signature wig with its wedge of perfectly coiffed jet-black curls — with a hairline fracture to one of her fingers.
This is “exactly why you need staff” she sighs, theatrically. “I'm moonlighting with the Pina Bausch company,” she says by way of explanation for the injury. “There's a scene where I whip the floor about 50 times. I'm a professional, of course, but it's hard not to get over excited.”
