Filled with powerful gospel music, outrageous dancing, and a truly moving story, Sister Act JR will leave audiences breathless.

When disco diva, Deloris, witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won't be a found, a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior.

Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community but, in doing so, blows her cover. Soon, the gang is giving chase, only to find them up against Deloris and the power of her newly found sisterhood.

Join Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the hip hip Hippo and those hilarious, plotting penguins as they bound onto your stage.

Based on the smash DreamWorks movie, Madagascar – A Musical Adventure JR follows all of your favourite crack-a-lackin’ friends as they escape from their home in New York’s Central Park Zoo and find themselves unexpectedly in the madcap world of King Julien’s Madagascar!

An Interactive Stage Show

Murder Mystery ‘Gatsby’ is the world’s first ever fully interactive theatre show, where every guest in the theatre gets to become a detective for the evening and try to solve the mystery of who killed the infamous stage director Larry Lugosi.

Set to a Gatsby theme, all guests are encouraged to come dressed in the glam of the 1920’s. Dress up is not compulsory but it does add to the immersive experience. No acting is required as the cast members of the show are the suspects, and guests get multiple opportunities throughout the evening to interact with the suspects to work out which one of them is the Murderer.

Get ready to laugh in the face of Murder, as this show is a side-splitting comedy with some guests even complaining that their “face hurt from laughing so much”. Others have said… “Haven’t laughed that much in ages, thanks guys and girls” and “Thanks team for such a great night!! We came last night and that’s the best fun I have ever had”.

Get a group of friends together, grab your costumes and book now for the latest sensation in live entertainment. But beware! There are many distractions along the way to keep you from solving this dastardly deed!

Join Nelson Civic Choir and soloists for an entertaining musical romp through the fanciful "topsy-turvy" worlds of Gilbert and Sullivan in an afternoon of costumed frivolity with excerpts from The Gondoliers, The Mikado, The Pirates of Penzance, Iolanthe and many more.

Presenting at the Theatre Royal Nelson for the first time in many years, members of the Nelson Civic Choir pull out all the Victorian stops. Gilbert and Sullivan created a world where each absurdity is taken to its logical conclusion: fairies rub elbows with British Lords, flirting is a capital offence, gondoliers ascend to the monarchy, and pirates emerge as noblemen who have gone astray.

Choral Comedy presents an afternoon of memorable melodies with perfectly outrageous storylines performed in a completely deadpan way.

Enjoy being witness to various hilarious scenes of virtual 3D Reality (i.e. Hypnosis) performed in a 1.5 hour show.

International Award Winning Entertainer Frankie Mac presents jaw dropping theatre, probing deep into the human psyche with endless laughter. A 'Once-In-a Life-Time-Experience'!

Show attendees also get a FREE self-hypnosis course (worth $995) on 4-in-1 flash-drive (pay $30) - 'Unlock Subconscious You'.

No Late Entry - due to nature of show

Inspired by and featuring the music of ELVIS PRESLEY.

1955. Into a square little American town rides a handsome, guitar playin’, motorcycle ridin’ young man who changes everything and everyone in this hip-swivelling musical comedy.

All Shook Up will have you toe tapping your blue suede shoes with a script that’s packed to the seams with comic one liners and classic Elvis Rock ‘n’ Roll hits, like Jailhouse Rock, Teddy Bear, Hound Dog, Heartbreak Hotel, It’s Now or Never, One Night With You and All Shook Up.

Everyone's favourite ogre is back in an hilarious tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey, alongside a wise-cracking donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy and a fire breathing dragon 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!

India’s skies once teemed with vultures. Now they’ve vanished - and Kutisar needs one to guide him to paradise.

Award-winning Jacob Rajan delivers a dazzling performance, complete with puppetry, a dash of Bollywood disco and serious laughter.

This true-life mystery will blow your mind and melt your heart faster than an ice-cream in the Bombay sun.
