It’s time for the Big BIG BIG Sur Fashion Show!!!
Once a year, artists come out of the woodwork and into the woods to create a night of recycled fashion magic! The one rule: Every model in the show must wear a costume made ONLY of recycled materials. The fashion show has featured costumes made of everything from balloons to beers cans, playing cards to old photographs.
Under the Big Top, our 2012 theme, will offer circus fashion and costumes, and will be the Cat’s Meow’s first appearance in the show! So Order your tickets now!

Don’t miss the hilarious musical adaptation of the original 1936 film about what happens to clean-cut kids when they fall prey to marijuana. It’s a clever political commentary filled with swingin’, showstoppin’ tunes like “Down at the Ol’ Five and Dime” And “Listen To Jesus, Jimmy,” featuring J.C. Himself leading a chorus of showgirl angels. This is sure to be a night of sex, violence, and (dare I say it!) Jazz music!
Tickets will be on sale at the Cat’s Meow for $23 general admission.
Show runs Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, starting April 6 and ending April 28.
