Nelson Repertory Theatre has the feel-good hit of summer on its hands with Richard Bean's inspired and deliriously funny One Man Two Guvnors. The side-splittingly funny West End and Broadway sensation is making its Nelson Debut in March 2017!

Receiving five star reviews from all over the world One Man Two Guvnors is set in the Swingin' Sixties and the easily-confused Francis Henshall attempts to keep his two employers (local gangster Roscoe Crabbe and upper class criminal Stanley Stubbers) from meeting and learning of his dual-employment. All he needs to do is keep his two guvnors apart. Simple.

Cameron Mackintosh's legendary production of Boublil and Schönberg's Les Misérables is a global stage sensation.

Seen by more than 70 million people in 44 countries and in 22 languages around the globe, it is still breaking box-office records everywhere!

Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Misérables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption - a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit.

Ex-convict Jean Valjean is hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine's young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever.

Featuring the songs "I Dreamed A Dream", "Bring Him Home", "One Day More" and "On My Own" - Les Misérables is the 'show of shows' and not to be missed!

Please note: A strobe lighting effect is used during the performance.

Anything Goes is a wonderfully amusing story wrapped around one of Cole Porter's most magical scores, including songs like "It's De-Lovely", "I Get A Kick Out Of You", "Let's Misbehave", "All Through The Night", "You're the Top", "Blow Gabriel Blow", and "Anything Goes".

Multiple disguises, mistaken identities, shipboard romances, showgirls, a live band and a toe-tapping score make Anything Goes a show not to be missed and quite simply 'It's de-lovely'!

Gumboot dancing was born out of the oppressive gold mines of South Africa. Forbidden to speak and in almost complete darkness, the slave laborers developed their own language by slapping their gumboots and rattling their ankle chains. In time it has developed into a truly unique dance form ...

It would be tempting to describe Gumboots as a South African version of Tap Dogs or even Lord of the Dance. The "gumboots" of the title Stimela "The Gumboot" musical refers to boots that South African mineworkers used to wear. Often adorned with bottle tops, they could also be used as percussive instruments as the workers performed a variety of dances.

Most recently, they've been endorsed as a symbol of self-expression and liberation by the Stimela The Musical of Soweto. Although some of the songs are traditional, most of the material was written by Mthakathi Entertainment, the show's director, and Thapelo Motloung, and should appeal to fans of South African pop and of Ladysmith Black Mambazo & The Lion King.

It is a celebration of song and dance, an international phenomenon that has swept across the globe like a tidal wave of soaring voices and stomping feet.

Unrivaled in its energy and physicality, it celebrates the body as a musical instrument whilst highlighting South Africa's rich and complex culture.

Life can throw everything in your path except the kitchen sink, and then it will throw the kitchen sink.
What will you throw at the intrepid cast of Off the Cuff: The Kitchen Sink at this month's improv show?

So bring your friends, bring your family, bring your loved ones, bring everything but the kitchen sink along to Off the Cuff: The Kitchen Sink

A fast paced naval romp through the decades.

From the arrival of Captain Cook in 1769 through to protecting trade routes against piracy around the Horn of Africa in 2015, The Complete History of the Royal New Zealand Navy navigates its way around the world's oceans through song, satire and silliness. Don't expect a history lesson but don't be surprised if you learn something.

On a national tour, the show is part of Operation Neptune, 75th Anniversary of the RNZN.

Ooh la la!  Something sinister is afoot. New Zealand is under attack from the infamous French Pirate Captain Langlois and his fiendish Gallic rooster, Napoleon.

From the Hauraki Gulf to Foveaux Strait, nowhere is safe from his piratical plundering. When all else fails the nation turns to the Royal New Zealand Navy and courageous Commander Claire to lead the resistance against the feisty French marauder.

A wildly imaginative children’s pantomime with audience participation, puppetry, songs and over-the-shoulder cardboard ships!

Villain, victim or someone far more intriguing? Shylock explores the tragic, tempestuous, often unbelievable life of fiction's most famous Jew.

Shylock has always divided opinion. There is no doubt he is hard done by in The Merchant of Venice, but does he bring it on himself? As one of only two Jewish men in the whole of Shakespeare, he has been portrayed in ways that reflected how Jews were popularly viewed - from comic villain to a victim of racial discrimination.

This award-winning, poignant, powerful yet humorous performance brings us Shylock afresh in one of the most globally successful solo shows of the last decade.
