Milène van der Smissen

A humorous musical cabaret show about the road to success. From glitter dresses on the cruise ship stage to worn-out, crackling sound systems in football club canteens during bingo: the cheerful gig queen Milène van der Smissen takes you behind the scenes of the artist's life and humorously battles with herself. Full of self-mockery, she effortlessly switches from tearjerker to power ballad, from pop anthem to chanson via her powerful original songs.

With a voice like Céline Dion, an energy like Dolly Parton, and a vulnerability like Claudia de Breij, the disarming Brabant native discusses and sings about our yearning for success. Will this gig queen remain condemned forever to singing other people's hits? Or is it precisely her own sensitive songs that manage to touch hearts?

Milène shows you the absurdity of the artist's life. You laugh. You swallow. And your bitterball afterwards will never taste the same again. Perhaps the road to success is closer than you think after all.
