SUMMARY:Come Together - The Rolling Stones "Sticky Fingers" CHCH
DESCRIPTION:New Zealand’s finest musicians Jon Toogood (Shihad)\, Sam Scott\, Luke Buda (Phoenix Foundation)\, Lou’ana\, Diane Swann & Deva Mahal\, Brett Adams\, Matthias Jordan\, Mike Hall\, (Pluto)\,  Finn Scholes (Carnivorous Plant Society)\, Nick Atkinson ( Supergroove)\, Karen Hu\, and Jol Mullholland MD\, perform The Rolling Stones’ greatest ever album Sticky Fingers.\n50 years ago\, the Rolling Stones recorded what is arguably their greatest ever album. It was 500 days in the making and the wait was worth it.\nNow\, on the anniversary of its historic launch to the top of the US and UK album charts\, New Zealand’s finest musicians Come Together to bring *Sticky Fingers* back where it belongs: live on stage in the hands of a world-class rock band\, backed up by a second set of Rolling Stones classics and deep cuts to place this peerless masterpiece in its rightful context.\nTo many fans\, Sticky Fingers is the ultimate Rolling Stones album. From the instant party-starting riff of Brown Sugar to the elegantly wasted Wild Horses; the brassy sleaze of Bitch to the strung-out country-blues of Dead Flowers\, the lean and dirty classic from 1971 has been THE benchmark album for aspiring rock’n’roll bands for generations.\nRecorded between the legendary Muscle Shoals Studios in Alabama and back in London in the aftermath of guitarist Brian Jones’ untimely death\, Sticky Fingers introduced new kid Mick Taylor and found Mick Jagger and Keith Richards at the height of their songwriting powers. As the ’60s dream imploded behind them\, their raw\, raunchy survivors’ swagger would seal their legend and make them the biggest stadium rock band in the world.

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.

SUMMARY:Shrek the Musical - Wellington
DESCRIPTION:Performance times vary. Tickets available from Ticketmaster. \nBased on the The Academy Award-winning animated film Shrek\, the hilarious story of everyone’s favourite ogre will be brought to life on stage at the  St James Theatre\, Wellington. \nThis lavish multi-million-dollar musical is part romance\, part twisted fairytale and all irreverent fun that brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proves there’s more to the story than meets the ears. \nIn a faraway kingdom turned upside down\, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre — not a handsome prince — shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won’t shut up\, a bad guy with a short temper\, a cookie with attitude\, and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits\, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily\, there’s one on hand … and his name is Shrek. \nShrek The Musical has been enjoyed by audiences around the world since 2008\, having toured Australia\, the US\, UK\, Asia\, Canada\, South America and Scandinavia among others. Now it’s your turn New Zealand.

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.
