SUMMARY:Wicked The Musical
DESCRIPTION:Long before Dorothy dropped in\, two other girls met in the land of Oz. One was born with emerald-green skin – smart\, fiery\, misunderstood and possessing an extraordinary talent and the other\, a bubbly blonde who was exceptionally popular … Wicked looks at what happened in the land of Oz – but from a different angle. “Thrillifying” over 60 million people worldwide since it opened and having collected more than 100 international awards\, Wicked will turn 20 in 2023 and Wellington can join the party.

SUMMARY:Ladies Night - comedy tour
DESCRIPTION:New Zealand’s sexiest and most successful comedy of all time is about to get its gear off again\, in a nationwide tour this September and October! \nThis hilarious new production of Ladies Night promises to be this year’s funniest night out as these real Kiwi blokes dare each other to put on a male strip show\, after falling down on their luck and needing some extra cash. \nA spur of the moment idea rapidly becomes a reality as the venue is booked and the seats sold. With the terrifying prospect of actually having to strip in front of the public only moments away\, Craig\, Barry\, Norm\, Wes and Gavin set about transforming themselves from beer belly to Six Pack. \nFollow them on their journey as they get to grips with the finer points of seduction\, stripping and the perfect wax job. Think Magic Mike with a double shot of Kiwi humour. \nLadies Night will feature New Zealand’s hottest actor\, Mike Edward (Shortland Street\, Power Rangers\, The Brokenwood Mysteries\, Spartacus) as head stripper Barry and Mark Wright (Shortland Street\, Power Rangers) as Bernie the sleazy nightclub owner. \nWritten in 1987 by Anthony McCarten and Stephen Sinclair\, Ladies Night was a global theatrical hit. The precursor to stage hits like Magic Mike starring hunky Channing Tatum\, Ladies Night has been translated into 16 languages and remains New Zealand’s most commercially successful play of all time. \nAfter eight sell-out tours of Britain\, it went on to win The Molière Prize\, France’s premiere theatre award for comedy\, in 2001.

SUMMARY:The Music Man - In Concert
DESCRIPTION:One of the most beloved musicals ever written\, The Music Man\, is marching in to Auckland this October as a concert spectacular. \nFollowing on from last year’s hugely successful semi-staged season of Chess\, The Music Manwill be performed live by our finest singers and musicians\, sharing the stage with the Royal New Zealand Navy Band to create a wall of sound. \nFeaturing 24 big band songs\, including the hit Seventy-six Trombones\, this is an experience not to be missed at Auckland’s Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre\, Aotea Centre\, from 12 – 15 October. Pre-sales begin today and all remaining seats will be available to the public this Wednesday. \nProduced by the Amici Trust and G&T Productions – a collab responsible for recent musical hits including Mary Poppins\, Jersey Boys and Kinky Boots – this four-day music extravaganza is a premiere event delivered in association with Auckland Live. \nThe Music Man was an instant smash hit when it premiered on Broadway in in 1957\, running for 1\,375 performances and winning the Tony Award for Best Musical. The cast album won a Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album and ranked on the Billboard charts for 245 weeks. \nIts 2022 Broadway revival starring Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster achieved extraordinary success\, playing 374 regular and 46 preview performances by the time it took its final bow. \nAs the best-known work by Meredith Willson\, The Music Man follows the tale of brazen swindler Professor Harold Hill who arrives in River City\, Iowa\, promising uniforms\, instruments and lessons for a new town band. \nThe locals are thrilled but in reality\, Hill plans to leave River City as soon as he closes the sale. But those plans change when Hill meets Marian Paroo\, or “Marian the Librarian\,” and finds himself falling for her. Soon Hill must follow through on his big promises or else lose out on his chance at love.

As Debbie Harry said way back in the day\, “the only place left for rock to go is toward more girl stars. There’s nothing left for men to do.”

DESCRIPTION:New Zealand’s finest artists Boh Runga\, Julia Deans\, Dianne Swann\, Gussie Larkin and Jazmine Mary today announce a three-concert tour to celebrate pioneering women of rock including Blondie\, Eurythmics\, Pretenders\, Patti Smith\, Jefferson Airplane\, Joan Jett & more. \n*Boh joins the line-up as Gin Wigmore is no longer able to travel to New Zealand. \nATOMIC!\, produced by the same company behind the legendary Come Together series\, harnesses the energy of an all-femme line-up of musicians to perform a heaving catalogue of hits fronted by women who kicked down doors and rewrote rock’s rules of engagement. \nExpect a monster hit list including Heart of Glass\, Here Comes the Rain Again\, Brass In Pocket\, Because the Night\, White Rabbit\, I Love Rock ‘N Roll and many more in this amazing night of rock in Christchurch\, Auckland and Wellington this November. \nPunk poet Patti Smith. Jefferson Airplane’s Grace Slick. Denim rocker Joan Jett. Relentless pop hitmakers Debbie Harry of Blondie and Annie Lennox of Eurythmics. These and other icons arrived on their own terms\, with rebellion hardwired to their bones to ramraid the boys’ club of the 60s\, ‘70s and ‘80s and take no prisoners. As the Pretenders’ Chrissie said\, “I didn’t have any role models that were women. My role models were musicians.” \nDon’t miss these modern legends of the escalating femme insurrection paying it back to some of the greatest performers of our times: a hitlist rooted in the glories of the past recalled and refreshed for future generations. As Debbie Harry said way back in the day\, “the only place left for rock to go is toward more girl stars. There’s nothing left for men to do.”

Together\, let’s craft something unforgettable. \nOver 80 minutes\, Every Brilliant Thing brings together a group of strangers in a way that only live theatre can—reflecting what it is to be human in a shared and immediate experience.

SUMMARY:The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel - Auckland
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to take the trip of a lifetime? \nThe smash-hit UK stage adaptation of one of this century’s most treasured movies\, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel\, is headed to New Zealand in 2024. \nBased on the Sunday Times bestseller that became a blockbuster movie\, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a joyous comedy about taking risks\, finding love and embracing second chances\, even in the most surprising of places. \n“A truly heart-warming experience\, reinforcing the power of watching live theatre.” \nDescribed as “comedy gold”\, the story revolves around a motley crew of elderly Brits who have grown disillusioned with their own country and decide they want a change. Half of them have been widowed and are lost in the wilderness of their twilight years\, trying to find a new meaning to their lives. \nThey don’t want to inconvenience their families and feel invisible in the country of their birth\, which has become a place they no longer recognise. \nSo they are outsourced to a new “residential hotel” in India – which is far cheaper for the state and less hassle for their families. What they don’t realise is that the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel will change their lives forever. \nDirect from the UK\, Colin Richmond’s striking set simultaneously presents inside and outside spaces at the run-down colonial home turned hotel. Inside\, passageways and staircases surround a central reception area. \nOutside\, lush green plants and delicate fairy lights create an oasis of old-world Indian charm in a courtyard garden. The attention to detail is impressive and immersive\, right down to the hum of traffic and echoing call to prayer audible in the distance. \nJoin us on this incredible journey.

DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to take the trip of a lifetime? \nThe smash-hit UK stage adaptation of one of this century’s most treasured movies\, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel\, is headed to New Zealand in 2024. \nBased on the Sunday Times bestseller that became a blockbuster movie\, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a joyous comedy about taking risks\, finding love and embracing second chances\, even in the most surprising of places. \n“A truly heart-warming experience\, reinforcing the power of watching live theatre.” \nDescribed as “comedy gold”\, the story revolves around a motley crew of elderly Brits who have grown disillusioned with their own country and decide they want a change. Half of them have been widowed and are lost in the wilderness of their twilight years\, trying to find a new meaning to their lives. \nThey don’t want to inconvenience their families and feel invisible in the country of their birth\, which has become a place they no longer recognise. \nSo they are outsourced to a new “residential hotel” in India – which is far cheaper for the state and less hassle for their families. What they don’t realise is that the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel will change their lives forever. \nDirect from the UK\, Colin Richmond’s striking set simultaneously presents inside and outside spaces at the run-down colonial home turned hotel. Inside\, passageways and staircases surround a central reception area. \nOutside\, lush green plants and delicate fairy lights create an oasis of old-world Indian charm in a courtyard garden. The attention to detail is impressive and immersive\, right down to the hum of traffic and echoing call to prayer audible in the distance. \nJoin us on this incredible journey.
