That is until J.D., the mysterious teen rebel, teaches her that it might kill to be a nobody, but it is murder being a somebody…

ASB Waterfront Theatre, Auckland

​

What does it mean to forgive? Spanning four decades, from village life in Niue in the 1970s to the suburbs of Ponsonby, this award-winning play follows the three brothers’ struggle to break free from their father.
 
Vao is charming, handsome, ambitious. To his three sons, he is a god. But he carries rage in his fists and danger in his eyes. This complicated character will be portrayed by the phenomenally talented Beulah Koale (Samoa: Sala’ilua, A’ele. Tuvalu: Nanumea), star of Silo Theatre’s A View From The Bridge.
 
It’s an uplifting coming-of-age story, as Seki, To and Sau emerge into adulthood, each affected by their father in different ways. 
 
This play is directed by stage and screen legend Anapela Polata’ivao ONZM (Samoa: Vailoa Faleata, Vaiusu, Fagae’e Safune), who recently starred in the hit movie Tinā and directed acclaimed productions including Silo Theatre’s A View From The Bridge and for Auckland Theatre Company, Things That Matter and Red, White and Brass. Audiences can expect Pasifika excellence on stage: one of our nation’s finest directors, searingly stunning writing and virtuosic performances from four extraordinary actors. 
 
A world premiere, Vela Manusaute’s (Niue: Mutalau, Hakupu) autobiographical Adam NZ Play Award-winning script is deeply personal. This is meaty and meaningful theatre that will leave a lasting impact on its audience.

​

$20 access tickets are available for Deaf or disabled audience members attending an accessible performance. One companion ticket per theatregoer is also available for $20.

Access tickets for the relaxed performance can be purchased via email, over the phone, or online.

​

Set under the stars of Matariki, this Aotearoa adaptation by Nī Dekkers-Reihana reimagines Nick Payne’s award-winning play through a te ao Māori lens.

 

An astrophysicist and a beekeeper meet at the summit of Maungawhau, drawn together by curiosity and connection. Their relationship unfolds across infinite realities — blossoming, faltering, and transforming in ways both tender and devastating. At once intimate and expansive, Constellations explores the fragile balance between choice and fate, asking what changes when we shift the context of a love story.

 

Grounded in Aotearoa and alive with the spirit of renewal, this is a story that reminds us every moment contains infinite possibilities.

​​

Selected performances will be NZSL-interpreted by Platform Interpreting NZ. NZSL access tickets are $25 for Deaf and Hard of Hearing audience members with a free companion.

With the head of a dog and the body of a policeman, Dog Man loves to fight crime and chew on the furniture. 
But while trying his best to be a good boy, can he save the city from Flippy the cyborg fish and his army of Beasty Buildings? Can he catch Petey, the world’s most evil cat, who has cloned himself to exact revenge on the doggy do-gooder? And will George and Harold finish their show before lunchtime?

Embedded in popular culture, Guns N’ Roses’ landmark diamond-selling 1987 opus, Appetite For Destruction, stands out as “the best-selling U.S. debut album ever” and “the 11th best-selling U.S. album of all time.” Following its release, Guns N’ Roses shook the world with the one-two punch of the over 7x-platinum Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II, clinching the top two spots on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart upon arrival.

Consisting of acclaimed performances in stadiums and arenas alike, the tour included headlining festival dates at Glastonbury and London’s Hyde Park, while the North American leg included sold-out performances at historic venues such as the Hollywood Bowl and MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, as well as a co-headlining performance at Power Trip in Indio, CA with AC/DC & Metallica. Guns N’ Roses’ previous world tour, Not In This Lifetime…, notably ranked as the “fourth-highest grossing concert tour of all time,” selling 5 million-plus tickets and included a headline performance at Coachella. The band’s massive 2025 tour saw the powerhouse band hit stadiums and arenas in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America throughout the year.
