This year's Whitireia Musical Theatre Graduation Showcase is a vivid and diverse double-bill that pays homage to the legacy of our past graduation shows and tells stories inspired by the artists who created them.
ACT I: Colour.
From playful reimaginings to powerful restagings, prepare to be swept off your feet with a rip-roaring revue highlighting some of our favourite showtunes from Whitireia Musical Theatre's previously produced works. You'll revisit hits from The Addams Family, Little Shop of Horrors, Cry Baby, Jesus Christ Superstar and more in Colour: a first-half bursting with high-octane, triple-threat thrill.
ACT II: Light.
Touching, honest, and uplifting, this act illuminates some of the more poignant realities of theatre-making. From the trials to the triumphs, experience an intimate expression of joy, connection, and love in this ode to live theatre. With songs selected from the contemporary and classic songbook, from new works like The Outsiders and Shucked to modern classics like Cabaret and Merrily We Roll Along, Light is aimed directly at the heart.
Music Directed by Kate Marshall-Crowe, Directed and Choreographed by Leigh Evans.
