BWW Review: CHRISTMAS WITH QUEEN_ST at Spotlight Theatre, AucklandDecember 16, 2020Queen_St are four talented significant soloists in their own right, but combine them into powerful duets, and commanding creative quartet arrangements – and we get harmonies and melodies delivered with effortless conviction, tonal glow and clarity of diction.
BWW Review: GARAGE PARTY at Wintergarden, AucklandDecember 8, 20202020 has been a tough year for the arts in New Zealand, not only for those who appreciate the opportunity to enjoy imaginative and skilled live theatre and the power of music to stir the soul , but of course for the performers themselves. So – yes – when we get the opportunity to go to a real kiwi classic garage party, we’re delighted -- and it’s clear we are there as welcome guests. This is a chance for the whanau to get together and have a party. And what a party! It doesn’t take long before the cares of the day, week, year drop away and the audience is enraptured, engaged and smiling, laughing and singing! This show almost makes 2020 worth it.
