Three previous professional productions in the equivalent of the West End in New Zealand.
 
This powerful musical tells the moving story of immigrant gold miners and how their quest for instant fortune brings heartache, hope and (eventually) happiness.. With a strong storyline and a modern-style score, 'Rush, the musical' fizzes with raw emotion and demands the resources of a professional, semi-pro or large amateur group to be successful.

Set at the heart of the Industrial Revolution,
and charting the lives of an ordinary family in an extraordinary town.
 
'Threads' is a story brimming with tragedy, humor and passion. Hardship and hard work were commonplace at the beginning of the 19th Century, but in their attempts to bring improved working and living conditions, the characters living in Oldham in this musical epitomise the wider struggle that was prevalent in the large industrial towns of England. 'Threads' has a strong storyline, some challenging character roles and plenty of chorus work.

 

Not for the G&S purist, these versions are true musical theatre ... and great fun! Essgee Entertainment has thoroughly updated the Victorian operetta allowing today's theatregoer a fresh look at these classics. All the original songs and tunes are included though and despite the 'pop feel' of many of the chorus numbers the most beautiful solos are untouched. The end product is true to the spirit of Gilbert and Sullivan, but much more accessible for today’s audiences.

by Christopher Wortley

Class Of 77 Musical
Back to Britain in the 1970’s when ‘The Generation Game’ and ‘The Good Life’ ruled our TV sets, and the Ford Cortina ruled our roads.

As their final year at school comes to an end, the class of ’77 wonders what the future will bring … and fifteen years later a school reunion brings them back together. ‘Class Of 77’ is a funny, touching, invigorating, and wonderfully evocative look back at times untroubled by 21st century distractions.
