“I think after the last few years we've all had, we all really deserve to remember joy,” says Jasmine Jean Sim, a Can Can performer and Wonderland veteran who has witnessed our theatre change in more ways than one since her start in 2018.

Year after year, there’s something even more special about the show, and Sim shares her favorites from teary-eyed memories, holding in laughter, and the never-ending journey of joy around the holidays.

Read on to learn more about Sim as she pulls back the curtain on Wonderland.

When you attend a Can Can performance, you’re not just sipping cocktails and watching a show. No, no, no. Before you've even settled in your seats, you’re already and absolutely transported. From eerie hotel lobbies covered in spider webs to a glittering, snowlike scape, the Can Can stage contains countless worlds in one, all brought to life by the hands and minds of our fabulous creative team.

Ding-ding! Oh good, the rusty yet somehow still-charming elevator has arrived to take you up to your suite here at The Hitchcock Hotel. But, before you ascend to what haunting opulence awaits you, allow us to give you a peek behind the velvet curtain to see how this quaint auberge came to be. Please, don’t mind the dust bunnies! They only bite when you swat at them first.

Now, where was I? Oh yes – the Hotel. It wouldn’t be a Can Can pomp if we didn’t start with a song, would it? Let us introduce you to the minds behind the music: Chris Pink and Dave Pezzner. We sat down with the duo to talk about being sound soulmates, the eclectic sources of inspiration for the show, and how being a guest at The Hitchcock Hotel is an experience unlike any other.
