Synopsis:
Set in 1940s Christchurch, the Great Art War is a brand new musical that tells the true story of one of New Zealand's most prestigious and influential painter's battle for acceptance. When Frances Hodgkins' shockingly modernist painting the Pleasure Garden' is gifted to the Christchurch Art Gallery, conservative 1940s Christchurch erupts in a civic battle!

Top of PageLaughter in the Rain
Synopsis:
Laughter in the Rain. the title says it all really and it does what it says on the packaging: the biography is subordinated to allow the maximum number of songs to be sung in the time allotted, and in the order in which they best fit the chronology of the narrative. there are pretty girls in short dresses, familiar tunes, an opportunity for an audience sing-along when you wouldn't be able to stop them anyway - in this case, "Is This the Way to Amarillo?" - and if the audience are up for it there's clapping and even dancing to be done.
