SUMMARY:A Conversation on DEA Narcos - Wellington
DESCRIPTION:US DEA agents Steve Murphy and Javier Pena are coming to Wellington with an evening of conversation on their instrumental role in the take down of the undisputed “king of cocaine” Pablo Escobar\, and the Cali cartel. \n“Are you a NARCOS fan? Do you know what’s fact and what’s fiction? Join Javier and I as we return to Australia and New Zealand to tell the true story about Pablo Escobar. We’ll answer questions about Pablo\, the Cali Cartel (from season 3)\, Kiki Camarena (from season 4)\, the making of NARCOS\, and even our personal lives. Our last trip “down under” was one of the best tours of our lives\, and we can’t wait to return in July 2019!!! Come and join us for a night you’ll never forget\, we’re gonna have some fun\, don’t miss out!!!” – Steve Murphy \nThe actions of Pena and Murphy were the inspiration for the hugely popular Netflix crime series Narcos\, which tells the story of Colombia’s infamous drug cartels and Pablo Escobar’s fight to maintain his position as the most powerful player. \nAgents Pena and Murphy will speak about the rise and fall of the Medellin Cartel and the role they played in bringing down its notorious leader\, Columbian drug lord\, Pablo Escobar. Including exclusive stories and images not seen in the series\, this unique event gives Narcos fans\, and those interested in Pablo Escobar\, the opportunity to hear first-hand from the two men who were key in his capture in 1993. The evening’s discussion will also shed light on their input into the hit Netflix series\, where they reveal information which doesn’t feature in the show\, and will be followed by a Q&A session with the audience. \nPablo Escobar was the wealthiest\, most powerful\, and most violent criminal of the 20th Century. In collaborating with drug traffickers to form the Medellin Cartel\, he eventually controlled more than 80% of all the cocaine distributed in the US. Escobar’s ruthless tactics allowed him to operate with impunity throughout South America\, and he was responsible for the deaths of three Colombian Presidential candidates\, an Attorney General\, several Justice Ministers\, more than 200 judges\, more than 1\,000 Police Officers\, an unknown number of competing drug traffickers and perceived enemies\, and countless innocent people caught in the crossfire.

SUMMARY:West Side Story - Wellington
DESCRIPTION:One of the most celebrated musicals of all time\, West Side Story will play a limited season at Wellington’s Opera House in 2019. \nThe Opera Australia\, GWB Entertainment and BB Group production of West Side Story will play a New Zealand exclusive limited season in Wellington from 6 to 16 June ahead of its international tour of Germany and season at Sydney Opera House. \nA modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet; this tragic love story tells the tale of two young people whose happiness is destroyed by the hate of two enemy camps in New York City’s urban jungle. The ‘Jets’\, sons of previous immigrants to America\, battle the new arrivals from Puerto Rico\, the ‘Sharks’\, for domination of the streets. \nWhen the original West Side Story opened on Broadway in 1957\, musical theatre changed forever as the most complex and challenging unity of music\, dance\, book and lyrics was realised in a way which has been rarely matched since. The genius of its four creators\, a remarkable collaboration between Leonard Bernstein\, Arthur Laurents\, Stephen Sondheim and Jerome Robbins\, produced a masterpiece whose artistic quality remains unquestioned to this day. Now former pupil of Jerome Robbins\, Joey McKneely’s vibrant new stage production returns to New Zealand after wild acclaim worldwide. \nSince the first world tour in 2003\, there have been more than 1500 performances of McKneely’s award-winning production of West Side Story. McKneely is a two-time Tony Award nominated choreographer whose Broadway credits include Smokey Joe’s Café\, The Life\, Twelfth Night\, The Wild Party and The Boy From Oz. \nGWB Entertainment’s Torben Brookman said “musicals like West Side Story only come along once in a lifetime. This piece transformed musical theatre around the world and is as relevant today as it was when first staged. It is a privilege to bring this internationally acclaimed production to Wellington audiences in 2019.” \nThe cast of 33 features a dynamic mix of established performers alongside some of Australia and New Zealand’s most exciting emerging talent in this celebrated production. The production will feature Todd Jacobsson as Tony\, Sophie Salvesani as Maria\, Chloe Zuel as Anita\, Noah Mullins as Riff\, and Lyndon Watts as Bernardo. Joining them is Ritchie Singer as Doc\, Paul Dawber as Lt. Schrank\, Dean Vince as Officer Krupke and Paul Hanlon as Glad Hand. \nAs “The Jets” the ensemble will include Joshua Taylor\, Nicholas Collins\, Christian Ambesi\, Nathan Pavey\, Blake Tuke\, Sebastien Golenko\, Molly Bugeja\, Joseph Donovan with Natasha O’Hehir\, Angelica Di Clemente\, Taylah Small and Sarah Dimas. \nCompleting the cast as “The Sharks” will be Anthony Garcia\, Keanu Gonzalez\, Daniel Assetta\, Matt Antonucci\, Jason Yang-Westland\, Brady Kitchingham\, Daniel Wijngaarden with Zoe Ioannou\, Olivia Carniato\, Nikki Croker\, Amba Fewster and Ariana Mazzeo. \n“A thrilling\, hurtling triumph.” – The Observer\, UK \n“No.1 Greatest musical of all time.” – The Times\, UK

SUMMARY:The Mousetrap - Wellington
DESCRIPTION:The longest-running show in the world comes to New Zealand in 2019\nWritten by the Grande Dame of murder mysteries\, AGATHA CHRISTIE \n‘A truly entertaining classic’ – The Sunday Times\, UK \nThe West End’s legendary murder mystery drama THE MOUSETRAP is the longest-running show\, of any kind\, in the world.  Written by the best-selling novelist of all time (Death on the Nile\, Miss Marple\, Poirot) and the ‘Queen of Crime’\, Dame Agatha Christie\, THE MOUSETRAP has kept audiences guessing for six decades.\nIn her own inimitable style\, Dame Agatha Christie has created an atmosphere of shuddering suspense and a brilliantly intricate plot where murder lurks around every corner.\nNewly opened guesthouse\, Monkswell Manor\, is snowed in and amongst the seemingly ordinary gathering of guests\, a killer lurks.…  Having already killed once\, the murderer strikes again.  The tension is razor sharp: everyone is a suspect; everyone a potential victim. One by one the characters reveal their pasts\, and a complex web of deceit and suspicion emerges.  But who will be next\, and who is the killer?\nChristie’s classic ‘whodunit’ opened in London’s West End in November 1952 and has since played over 27\,500 performances. THE MOUSETRAP is the longest running stage production in the world and after almost 66 years\, continues to delight audiences to this day at London’s St. Martin’s Theatre. Originally written by Agatha Christie as a radio play titled Three Blind Mice and broadcast in 1947\, Christie then adapted the radio play for a short story of the same name before again rewriting for the stage as THE MOUSETRAP.\nTHE MOUSETRAP has never been adapted for film. Christie did not expect the play to run for more than a few months and stipulated that no film of THE MOUSETRAP be made until six months after the West End production closed.  As the show is about to enter its 67th year and continues its historic London run a film adaptation looks unlikely.\nDuring the play’s phenomenal run there have been no fewer than 474 actors and actresses appearing in the play – including Richard Attenborough and Sheila Sim in the original cast – as well as 279 understudies\, 116 miles of shirts have been ironed\, over 415 tons of ice cream sold\, and an estimated 10 million people have been riveted by this gripping tale.\nAward-winning director Alan Swerdlow says “THE MOUSETRAP has remained popular for so long because it is so well constructed\, with a terrific twist quite unlike Dame Agatha Christie’s other works.  It was one of the first murder mysteries really to explore the psychology and motivations of the killer.  And it is both thrilling and fun – the audience has a great time working out who the next victim is going to be and who the killer is.  Dame Agatha keeps on surprising us!”\nThe play is set in 1952\, when it was originally staged.  “That is part of its charm\,” says Mr Swerdlow.  “The spirit of Britain in the early 1950s informs so much of the play – the attitudes\, the speech patterns\, the mores.”

SUMMARY:The Mousetrap - Christchurch
DESCRIPTION:The longest-running show in the world comes to New Zealand in 2019\nWritten by the Grande Dame of murder mysteries\, AGATHA CHRISTIE \n‘A truly entertaining classic’ – The Sunday Times\, UK \nThe West End’s legendary murder mystery drama THE MOUSETRAP is the longest-running show\, of any kind\, in the world.  Written by the best-selling novelist of all time (Death on the Nile\, Miss Marple\, Poirot) and the ‘Queen of Crime’\, Dame Agatha Christie\, THE MOUSETRAP has kept audiences guessing for six decades.\nIn her own inimitable style\, Dame Agatha Christie has created an atmosphere of shuddering suspense and a brilliantly intricate plot where murder lurks around every corner.\nNewly opened guesthouse\, Monkswell Manor\, is snowed in and amongst the seemingly ordinary gathering of guests\, a killer lurks.…  Having already killed once\, the murderer strikes again.  The tension is razor sharp: everyone is a suspect; everyone a potential victim. One by one the characters reveal their pasts\, and a complex web of deceit and suspicion emerges.  But who will be next\, and who is the killer?\nChristie’s classic ‘whodunit’ opened in London’s West End in November 1952 and has since played over 27\,500 performances. THE MOUSETRAP is the longest running stage production in the world and after almost 66 years\, continues to delight audiences to this day at London’s St. Martin’s Theatre. Originally written by Agatha Christie as a radio play titled Three Blind Mice and broadcast in 1947\, Christie then adapted the radio play for a short story of the same name before again rewriting for the stage as THE MOUSETRAP.\nTHE MOUSETRAP has never been adapted for film. Christie did not expect the play to run for more than a few months and stipulated that no film of THE MOUSETRAP be made until six months after the West End production closed.  As the show is about to enter its 67th year and continues its historic London run a film adaptation looks unlikely.\nDuring the play’s phenomenal run there have been no fewer than 474 actors and actresses appearing in the play – including Richard Attenborough and Sheila Sim in the original cast – as well as 279 understudies\, 116 miles of shirts have been ironed\, over 415 tons of ice cream sold\, and an estimated 10 million people have been riveted by this gripping tale.\nAward-winning director Alan Swerdlow says “THE MOUSETRAP has remained popular for so long because it is so well constructed\, with a terrific twist quite unlike Dame Agatha Christie’s other works.  It was one of the first murder mysteries really to explore the psychology and motivations of the killer.  And it is both thrilling and fun – the audience has a great time working out who the next victim is going to be and who the killer is.  Dame Agatha keeps on surprising us!”\nThe play is set in 1952\, when it was originally staged.  “That is part of its charm\,” says Mr Swerdlow.  “The spirit of Britain in the early 1950s informs so much of the play – the attitudes\, the speech patterns\, the mores.”

SUMMARY:Legendary Mavis Staples Live
DESCRIPTION:Legendary singer Mavis Staples — the embodiment of everything that’s good in the world right now — will return to New Zealand in April 2019 in a special one-off concert featuring our own treasure\, Tami Neilson\, in support. \nHaving continuously crossed genre lines like no musician since Ray Charles\, from gospel\, soul\, folk\, pop\, R&B\, blues\, rock\, and hip hop over the past 60 years\, Mavis has seen and sung through so many changes\, always rising up to meet every road. \nShe continues to thrill and inspire audiences around the world\, with fans describing her performances as “stunning and moving”. \n“She had many thousands of people in the palm of her hand. It was a beautiful sight to see. Kind of a once-in-a-lifetime experience\,” says a critic after her appearance in front of a record crowd at an American festival last month. \nSince her first recording at age 13 in 1954\, Mavis has been in the company of countless legends. From the Delta-inflected gospel sound she helped create in the 1950s with her family as The Staple Singers\, to the freedom songs of the Civil Rights era\, to pop stardom during the Stax era with hits “I’ll Take You There” and “Respect Yourself\,” to The Last Waltz\, to serving as muse to both Bob Dylan and Prince\, to collaborations with Van Morrison\, Billy Preston\, Zac Brown\, Ry Cooder\, Chuck D. and Willie Nelson\, her GRAMMY®-winning partnership with Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy and most recently with Hozier on his latest song Nina Cried Power. \nMavis is here\, having weaved in and through all that fabric for all these many years\, to show us that true joy lies simply in living for others. It’s the sermon Dr. King gave all those years ago\, and we must be grateful that she is able to echo it for us now. Mavis takes us—not only there\, but back\, up\, and through. \n“I’ve been singing for a lifetime and I love it so much … You all better look out\, because God is not through with me yet. I’m not stopping. I’m gonna keep on pushing.” \n“It’s still the same message\,” she says. “I’m still trying to bring us together and make the world a better place through songs. We need one another more than ever now—things ain’t no better now that when I started 70 years ago.” \nLike Mavis\, Tami was brought up in a musical family and\, like Mavis\, she paid tribute to her late father by performing his songs. Neilson\, a country and soul singer\, winner of the prestigious Silver Scroll award and slew of country music awards\, has just completed tours of New Zealand\, Australia and Europe with her latest album Sassafrass! and championed to convince her idol Mavis to return to New Zealand to perform.
