SUMMARY:Jersey Boys -- The Story of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons
DESCRIPTION:How did four blue-collar kids become one of the greatest successes in pop music history? You ask four guys\, you get four different answers. Have we got a story for you … \nJERSEY BOYS – The Story of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons – makes its long-awaited return to New Zealand theatres in 2021. \nThe hit musical\, seen by more than 26 million people worldwide\, returns to Auckland for the first time in nine years\, and makes its much-anticipated premiere in Wellington\, from May through to June. \nThe internationally acclaimed stage sensation\, produced in New Zealand by the same company that delivered the critically acclaimed\, sold-out season of Les Miserables in 2019\, tells the story of how four blue collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the biggest American pop sensations of all time. \n“Oh what a night of magical memories….This is an utterly wonderful show full of vitality\, pace and power”— Daily Express \nFrankie Valli\, Bob Gaudio\, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi joined forces to become The Four Seasons\, writing their own hits and developing their unique sound to sell over 175 million records before they were 30! \nThey were just four guys from Jersey\, until they sang their very first note. They had a sound nobody had ever heard… and the radio just couldn’t get enough of. But while their harmonies were perfect on stage\, off stage it was a very different story — a story that has made them an international sensation all over again. \nGo behind the music and inside the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons in the Tony Award®-winning true-life musical phenomenon\, JERSEY BOYS. From the streets of New Jersey to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame\, this is the musical that’s just too good to be true. \nHaving smashed New Zealand box office records when it first visited in 2012\, JERSEY BOYS is THE most requested musical for a return season by New Zealand theatre audiences. Winner of 57 major awards worldwide\, including the Olivier Award for Best New Musical\, their story was so good\, it was turned into a Hollywood blockbuster\, produced and directed by Clint Eastwood and grossing $67 million at the box office. \nFeaturing hit after legendary hit including BEGGIN’\, CAN’T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU\, OH WHAT A NIGHT\, SHERRY\, WALK LIKE A MAN\, BYE BYE BABY\, BIG GIRLS DON’T CRY and many more\, JERSEY BOYS is a story full of heart\, humour and ‘sheer musical razzamatazz’. \nThis is the musical that’s just too good to be true.

SUMMARY:Edith Piaf à L'Olympia à Paris
DESCRIPTION:Legendary French chanteuse Edith Piaf was a global icon of resistance and triumph in the last years of her extraordinary life. Between 1955 and 1962\, the Parisian theatre L’Olympia became her second home\, where electrifying ovations greeted some of the greatest performances of her long\, celebrated career. \nL’Olympia witnessed the live debut of her signature song\, ‘Non\, je ne regrette rien’\, and definitive recordings of some of her most stirring songs of love\, joy and resilience\, including ‘Mon Dieu’\, ‘La Vie en rose’\, ‘L’Accordeoniste’\, ‘Milord’\, ‘La Foule’ and ‘Padam Padam’. \nNow\, commemorating 60 years since the Little Sparrow’s classic concert album Récital 1961\, New Zealand’s multi-award-winning pop-classical contralto YULIA performs with orchestra and band to revisit those historic performances live on stage. \nA fluent French speaker\, Russian-born Yulia has explored the distinctive smoulder and brass of the Piaf catalogue for more than a decade\, from a special engagement in Chambord Castle in France to the New Zealand Jazz and Blues Festival in Christchurch. \nPiaf’s ‘L’hymne a l’amour’ was among the many highlights of Into The West\, Yulia’s chart-topping debut album of 2004. Her second\, Montage\, made her the first female vocalist in New Zealand to have two number one albums in a row\, culminating in total sales of 6 x Platinum. \nDon’t miss this meeting across the ages\, as one of our most inspired talents channels the great chanteuse performing at the peak of her powers: EDITH PIAF à L’Olympia à Paris.

DESCRIPTION:Featuring: Jon Toogood (shihad) | Luke Buda (phoenix Foundation) | Laughton Kora (kora) | Mel Parsons | Deva Mahal | Jol Mulholland | Brett Adams | Matthias Jordan | Alistair Deverick \nThe first album concert tour of three for our COME TOGETHER series for 2021 — Elton John’s Magnus Opus – Goodbye Yellow Brick Road! \nAfter the huge success and rave reviews for Brothers in Arms\, Abbey Road and Live Rust from Come Together 2020\, we are bringing you more! \nIn July as part 1 of 3 of our Album Concert Tours for 2021\, the Come Together supergroup of Kiwi artists and musicians will perform Goodbye Yellow Brick Road live in concert along with a bonus set of classic hits and deep cuts from Elton John’s golden 1970s period. \nIn the early 1970s\, Elton was in top form. With seven Top 40 singles in two years and\, Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only the Piano Player\, topping charts\, Elton was reaching the peak of his career. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road became even bigger with 30 million records sold – arguably every 1970s household in New Zealand had the album. \nOpening with the compositional masterpiece ‘Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding’ and followed by absolute classics\, ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’\, ‘Candle in the Wind’\, ‘Bennie & The Jets’ and the underrated gem ‘Harmony’ – there is a reason the album is consistently included on the list of greatest albums of all time.

DESCRIPTION:Featuring: Jon Toogood (shihad) | Luke Buda (phoenix Foundation) | Laughton Kora (kora) | Mel Parsons | Deva Mahal | Jol Mulholland | Brett Adams | Matthias Jordan | Alistair Deverick \nThe first album concert tour of three for our COME TOGETHER series for 2021 — Elton John’s Magnus Opus – Goodbye Yellow Brick Road! \nAfter the huge success and rave reviews for Brothers in Arms\, Abbey Road and Live Rust from Come Together 2020\, we are bringing you more! \nIn July as part 1 of 3 of our Album Concert Tours for 2021\, the Come Together supergroup of Kiwi artists and musicians will perform Goodbye Yellow Brick Road live in concert along with a bonus set of classic hits and deep cuts from Elton John’s golden 1970s period. \nIn the early 1970s\, Elton was in top form. With seven Top 40 singles in two years and\, Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only the Piano Player\, topping charts\, Elton was reaching the peak of his career. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road became even bigger with 30 million records sold – arguably every 1970s household in New Zealand had the album. \nOpening with the compositional masterpiece ‘Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding’ and followed by absolute classics\, ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’\, ‘Candle in the Wind’\, ‘Bennie & The Jets’ and the underrated gem ‘Harmony’ – there is a reason the album is consistently included on the list of greatest albums of all time.

SUMMARY:EDITH PIAF - à L'Olympia à Paris
DESCRIPTION:Legendary French chanteuse Edith Piaf was a global icon of resistance and triumph in the last years of her extraordinary life.

SUMMARY:Michelangelo - A Different View (open in RED)
DESCRIPTION:Under license from the Vatican Museums\, this exhibition offers the most complete and authentic reproduction of Michelangelo’s beautiful ceiling frescoes of the Sistine Chapel to be shown outside the Vatican \nMichelangelo — A Different View presents a very different picture of Michelangelo’s works: the exhibition shows photo-mechanically reproduced copies almost in original size and in a way that invites visitors to look at them up close and in their own time. \nMichelangelo — A Different View is a transformative experience that allows attendees to look down on ‘The Genesis’ that is enshrined on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel rather than up…. hence the exhibition’s name A Different View. This offers a much closer perspective of what its Florentine creator did. The rest of the frescoes are in frames and can be viewed from within 2 metres. \nWith no time constraints\, visitors can allow these masterpieces to truly soak in. \nSome 50 pieces\, including an almost original size\, 4.6m x 20m reproduction of ‘The Genesis’ (which includes The Creation of Man) and a 3.8m x 3.8m version of ‘The Last Judgment’ are just 1-2 metres away from the viewer\, while audio guides\, accessible via personal devices (please bring your own phone\, head set/earbuds)\, mean visitors can experience the Florentine master’s interpretation of The Bible’s creation story in a way they never imagined. \nAs an addition to – and to complete –  Michelangelo — A Different View\, reproductions of 14 of these impressive frescoes await visitors in the entrance. Scenes from the lives of Jesus and Moses\, painted by Sandro Botticelli\, Pietro Perugino\, Domenico Ghirlandaio and Cosimo Rosselli\, provide additional historical background and allow for a deeper insight into this epoch.

SUMMARY:CHESS THE MUSICAL
DESCRIPTION:With music by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus (ABBA)\, book and lyrics by Sir Tim Rice\, CHESS – THE MUSICAL is arguably one of the most memorable scores ever heard. Featuring global smash hits ‘I Know Him So Well’ and ‘One Night in Bangkok’\, this extraordinary semi-staged musical also features much-loved standards such as ‘Anthem’\, ‘Someone Else’s Story’\, ‘Heaven Help My Heart’ and ‘Pity The Child’. \nThis powerful new production of CHESS – THE MUSICAL features an all-New Zealand cast\, the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra and a 30-strong choir\, for five performances only. \nThis semi-staged production\, featuring an incredible array of New Zealand musical theatre talent\, the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra\, and a choir of 30\, will be filled with sumptuous musical arrangements set to a gripping story. \nWritten in 1984 by ABBA’s Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus\, and Sir Tim Rice (Jesus Christ Superstar\, Evita)\, CHESS – THE MUSICAL features hits including ‘I Know Him So Well’ – recognised in the Guinness Book of Records as the biggest selling UK chart single ever by a female duo – and the upbeat pop favourite ‘One Night In Bangkok’. \nCHESS – THE MUSICAL tells the story of a complex love triangle combined with dramatic political intrigue\, set against the background of the Cold War in the early 1980s\, where Soviet and American forces attempt to manipulate an international chess championship for political gains. \nTwo of the world’s greatest chess masters\, one American\, one Russian\, are in danger of becoming the pawns of their governments as their battle for the world title gets underway. Simultaneously\, their lives are thrown into further confusion by a Hungarian refugee\, a remarkable woman who becomes the centre of their emotional triangle. This mirrors the heightened passions of the political struggles that threaten to destroy lives and loves. \nThe musical originally premiered in London’s West End in 1986 (where it was revived in 2018) starring the beloved Elaine Paige. The season ran for three years\, resulting in a BBC listener poll ranking CHESS – THE MUSICAL seventh in a list of ‘Number One Essential Musicals’ of all time. \nMake your move quickly.
