Join Aladdin, Jasmine and the fast-talking, wisecracking Genie, as they discover mystical caves, take magic carpet rides, and outwit the evil sorcerer, Jafar.

With new, colourful characters and non-stop adventure, Aladdin JR. is sure to be a crowd-pleaser for all ages!

Join the hottest brass party of the year, an energetic, vibrant and inclusive atmosphere for everyone. Hot Potato Band’s larger-than-life brass collective is a breath of fresh air with a focus on setting the bar for interactive musical performances.
With three studio albums under their belts, they continue to explore the sonic possibilities of acoustic instrumentation. Finding home in Sydney, Australia, they have spent the past 11 years independently curating and touring shows across Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the Middle East.
They have reinvented the traditional brass band as a modern day dance machine and visual spectacle to complement their strong sense of pride for their fun-loving, organic, and quirky musical nature.
NZ’s iconic electronic trio are back for one night only at the Theatre Royal!

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.
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!
