Fresh from a critically acclaimed season at the Adelaide Fringe, Chloe Halley returns to Melbourne with her smash hit show Little Miss Typecast, playing The Motley Wherehaus (The Candy Room), as part of the 2026 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, from 23 – 29 March.
Stuck playing the kid while her peers get to grow up, Chloe Halley is pint-sized, pigeonholed and politely losing it. Little Miss Typecast is a cheeky, sharp as a tack cabaret, packed with killer songs, dance breaks for days, and a desperate attempt to prove she can grow up too. She’s done playing the kid. Unless, of course, the role is still available.
Directed by Dom Hennequin alongside Associate Director and Creative Consultant Dolly Diamond, Little Miss Typecast promises an evening of high-energy comedy, dynamic vocals and tongue-in-cheek storytelling about life as a performer who never quite grew out of the child roles.
Chloe is a graduate from Federation University Arts Academy and completed fulltime dance with Robert Sturrock. Chloe recently made her solo cabaret debut with Little Miss Typecast at Chapel off Chapel.
Prior to this, Chloe appeared as Tina Denmark in Stagebugs production of Ruthless and Little Sally in Soundworks’ production of Urinetown. Chloe has also toured schools across Victoria with Alpha Theatre.
In Little Miss Typecast, audiences can expect hilarious anecdotes, genre-bending musical numbers and just the right amount of chaos.
