De Schnabbelkoningin
Milène van der SmissenToon Hermans Theater Sittard - Laaglandzaal
A humorous musical cabaret show about the road to success.
From glittering dresses on the cruise ship stage to gawky, creaky sound systems in football canteens at bingo: the good-humoured Side Job Queen Milène van der Smissen will show you the absurdity of the stage life. You laugh. You swallow. And your bitterball afterwards never tastes the same. Maybe the road to success is not as far as you think?
From smartlap to power ballad and powerful songs of their own
With a throat like Céline Dion's, the energy of Dolly Parton and the vulnerability of Claudia de Breij, the disarming Brabant native discusses and sings about our longing for success. In a humorous way, she also battles with herself. Full of self-mockery, she effortlessly switches from smartlap to power ballad, from pop anthem to chanson and powerful songs of her own. Will this side job queen forever be condemned to sing other people's hits? Or is it precisely her own sensitive songs that she knows how to touch?
