SUMMARY:The Mousetrap - Auckland
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:SHATNER’S WORLD - THE RETURN DOWN UNDER (WELLINGTON)
DESCRIPTION:William Shatner\, pop culture icon\, television superstar and raconteur extraordinaire\, is returning to NZ with SHATNER’S WORLD – THE RETURN DOWN UNDER this October in Auckland\, and for the very first time\, Christchurch and Wellington. \nSharing more stories\, songs\, jokes and musings Shatner’s World\, THE RETURN DOWN UNDER takes audiences on a 100 minute theatrical voyage through his life and career\, from Shakespearean stage actor to internationally acclaimed icon and raconteur\, known as much for his unique persona as his expansive body of work including Star Trek\, Boston Legal\, the publication of 30 books and the release of several spoken word albums\, his latest\, a soon to be released country music album and Christmas album! \n“I’ve done this one-man show on Broadway and in many cities across the United States\,” said William Shatner. “At the curtain call\, the audiences’ reaction\, their love and appreciation\, moved me to tears. This show has been one of the highlights of my life.” \nBringing it back to where it all started is very special.  With “The Return Down Under” I’ll be bringing more stories and songs. When you have been around and have worked in this business for as long as I have\, there’s a heck of a lot to share.  New Zealand audiences will also be able to hear some of my latest musical endeavours performed live for the very first time.  It’s going to be a hell of a lot of fun. \nShatner’s World has been described as a\, “chatty\, digressive\, and often amusing tour of his [Shatner’s] unusual acting career\,” by the New York Times\, “a fun evening of personal reminiscence\, gossip\, video clips and old-fashioned humor\,” by AM New York and “equal parts endearing and funny – a mixture of two worlds\, really: every day and rarefied\,” by The Philadelphia Enquirer. Shatner himself has been praised as\, “the most confident of performers\,” by The Record and “a personality of galactic proportions\,” by the New York Post.  Shatner’s humour and ability to poke fun at himself\, make this show a must-see memoir of a Hollywood veteran’s life. \nShatner is an award-winning actor\, director\, producer\, writer\, recording artist\, philanthropist and horseman. In 1966\, he introduced the character of Captain James T.

SUMMARY:SHATNER’S WORLD - THE RETURN DOWN UNDER (CHRISTCHURCH)
DESCRIPTION:William Shatner\, pop culture icon\, television superstar and raconteur extraordinaire\, is returning to NZ with SHATNER’S WORLD – THE RETURN DOWN UNDER this October in Auckland\, and for the very first time\, Christchurch and Wellington. \nSharing more stories\, songs\, jokes and musings Shatner’s World\, THE RETURN DOWN UNDER takes audiences on a 100 minute theatrical voyage through his life and career\, from Shakespearean stage actor to internationally acclaimed icon and raconteur\, known as much for his unique persona as his expansive body of work including Star Trek\, Boston Legal\, the publication of 30 books and the release of several spoken word albums\, his latest\, a soon to be released country music album and Christmas album! \n“I’ve done this one-man show on Broadway and in many cities across the United States\,” said William Shatner. “At the curtain call\, the audiences’ reaction\, their love and appreciation\, moved me to tears. This show has been one of the highlights of my life.” \nBringing it back to where it all started is very special.  With “The Return Down Under” I’ll be bringing more stories and songs. When you have been around and have worked in this business for as long as I have\, there’s a heck of a lot to share.  New Zealand audiences will also be able to hear some of my latest musical endeavours performed live for the very first time.  It’s going to be a hell of a lot of fun. \nShatner’s World has been described as a\, “chatty\, digressive\, and often amusing tour of his [Shatner’s] unusual acting career\,” by the New York Times\, “a fun evening of personal reminiscence\, gossip\, video clips and old-fashioned humor\,” by AM New York and “equal parts endearing and funny – a mixture of two worlds\, really: every day and rarefied\,” by The Philadelphia Enquirer. Shatner himself has been praised as\, “the most confident of performers\,” by The Record and “a personality of galactic proportions\,” by the New York Post.  Shatner’s humour and ability to poke fun at himself\, make this show a must-see memoir of a Hollywood veteran’s life. \nShatner is an award-winning actor\, director\, producer\, writer\, recording artist\, philanthropist and horseman. In 1966\, he introduced the character of Captain James T. Kirk in the television series “Star Trek.” The series became a film franchise with Shatner as Kirk in seven movies\, one of which he directed. He also played the title role in the hit series “T.J. Hooker” before hosting TV’s first reality-based series “Rescue 911.” Shatner won two Emmys and his first Golden Globe for his portrayal of Denny Crane on “The Practice” and “Boston Legal” and received four additional Emmy nominations as well as Golden Globes and SAG Awards. \nOff screen\, Shatner has authored over 30 bestsellers in both the fiction and non-fiction genres.

SUMMARY:Chicago -- Wellington
DESCRIPTION:A nightclub singer\, a double-murderess\, a smooth-talking lawyer and a cell block of sin….. so the story unfolds in the award-winning Broadway and West End musical Chicago\, which comes to New Zealand in August 2018 and opens at The Civic in Auckland before moving to the Opera House in Wellington in September. \nWinner of six Tonys\, two Oliviers\, one Grammy\, two Baftas and six Academy Awards\, plus thousands of standing ovations\, Chicago is the longest-running musical revival in Broadway history and truly is “The sharpest\, slickest show on the block” (The Times\, UK). \nChicago has everything that makes Broadway and the West End great – a universal tale of fame\, fortune and all that jazz; one show-stopping song after another\, including Razzle Dazzle\, Cell Block Tango and All That Jazz; the sexiest\, most sensational dancing; and a sharply sophisticated set which incorporates the 11-piece orchestra. \nIt’s no surprise that this devilishly delicious musical has brought cheering audiences to their feet all around the world\, from Mexico City to Moscow\, from Sao Paulo to South Africa. An estimated 31 million people have seen Chicago\, which has played over 30\,000 performances worldwide. \nSet in the Prohibition-era 1920s\, Chicago is the story of Roxie Hart\, a housewife and nightclub dancer with ambitions of Vaudeville stardom\, who maliciously murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction\, she dupes the public\, the media and her rival cellmate\, Velma Kelly\, by hiring Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines\, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today’s tabloids. \nChicago is a stunning spectacle full of social satire\, intrigue\, love\, betrayal\, rivalry and friendship\, a pageant of music and dance that adroitly shifts between reality and fantasy\, as Roxie Hart’s world moves from prison to the courtroom to the stage.
