The Woman in Black

Now in it's 15th smash hit year!

A truly nerve-shredding experience - Daily Mail

Don't go unless you like being scared out of your wits - Sunday Mirror

The most brilliantly effective spine chiller you will ever encounter...if you haven't seen this show yet you are missing a treat - Daily Telegraph

Pip Donaghy and Colin Hurley star in The Woman In Black .

One of the most exciting, gripping and successful theatre events ever staged, The Woman In Black, is now in its fifteenth year in the West End. Unanimously acclaimed by the critics, Stephen Mallatratt's adaptation of Susan Hill's best selling novel combines the power and intensity of live theatre with a cinematic quality inspired by the world of film noir.

A lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over him and his family by the spectre of a Woman in Black, engages a sceptical young actor to help him tell his terrifying story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul.

It all begins innocently enough, but then, as they reach further into his darkest memories, they find themselves caught up in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds.

The borders between make believe and reality begin to blur and the flesh begins to creep...

The world's longest-running play of any kind, Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap is now in it's 52nd year!

A West End staple for over 50 years, The Mousetrap is the longest consistently running play in the history of British theatre.

This world record breaking production continues to enthral, to entertain and to thrill audiences who still flock to the St Martin's Theatre from every corner of the globe. In her own inimitable style, Dame Agatha Christie has created an atmosphere of shuddering suspense and a brilliantly intricate plot where murder lurks around every corner....

The Mousetrap has been thrilling audiences from around the world for as long as Queen Elizabeth II has been on the throne. They have shared Silver and Ruby jubilees and recently both enjoyed their Golden celebration.

During this phenomenal run there have been no fewer than 297 actors and actresses appearing in the play, 86 miles of shirts have been ironed and over 320 tons of ice cream sold. Some cast members are in the Guinness Book of Records, David Raven as the 'Most Durable actor' for 4575 performances as Major Metcalf, and the late Nancy Seabrooke for a record breaking 15 years as an understudy.

In 2000 the set was replaced for the first time during the run at St Martin's Theatre, still to the same design as the original. This task was completed over a weekend without the loss of a performance.

Join the millions who have already discovered whodunnit, but will not share their secret...

Mack & Mabel

Out of the Silent Movie era and the heady heights of 1920s Hollywood, the classic musical Mack & Mabel tells the heart-wrenching love storyof two of its greatest legends: director Mack Sennett 'Teh King of Comedy' and his star comedienne Mabel Normand.
When 'hash-slinger' Mabel Normand turns up on the set of film-maker Mack Sennett, creator of the Keystone Cops, she catches his eye and soon captures his heart. Before long, Mabel is starring in Sennet's two-reelers and together they bring magic to the silver screen. Yet ambition, dalliance and the impending threat of changing times make for a tempetuous relationship.
Romance turns to jealousy while stardom foreshadows scandal and heartbreak. But despite the odds, this inimtable pair can never escape their undeniable love for each other.
Season: November 12 - December 7.

MacBeth

In honeyed tones, Lord and Lady MacBeth reveal thair passionate and bizarre emotions to us. But behind this beauty there luks an abyss, which Verdi unveils with one of the cruelest dramas in the history of world literature. In their struggle to seize power and retain it once it has been usurped, MacBeth and his lady commit one murder after another.
The unwavering of their nature of their desire imbues their love with a radicality that would have been unthinkable on the operatic stage before this work. " The subject matter of this opera is neither political nor religious: it is fantastic," wrote Verdi and brought Shakespeare's play closer to a more "romantic" . In actual fact, the witches, ghosts and apparitions, the eerie elements, which dominate the musical and dramatic flow, in short the whole world of this opera can be regarded as an ouward image of its protaggonists inner state.

Auckland Theatre Company is delighted to announce the full cast for The New Zealand Post season of THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE.

 

Jackie Clarke (Rona Paretti) Jackie is one of New Zealand’s best loved performers. She became a household name in New Zealand as a member of kitsch kiwi trio ‘When The Cat’s Been Spayed’ and is instantly recognisable as a judge from New Zealand Idol. Rona is a former Spelling Bee queen who is still living the glory of crown she won thirty years ago as the competition MC.
Madeleine Sami (Schwarzy) burst onto stage and then toured the world in Toa Fraser’s NO. 2 in 2002 and since then has become one of New Zealand’s most sought after actors.
Eryn Wilson (Panch) was last onstage with ATC as a liberal left wing maths teacher countering Peter Elliot’s hard talking, hard living Auckland developer. Panch, the Spell Master, hilarious and bizarre definitions of words, and examples of the words in sentences, often confound more clarify the words for each contestant.
Jason Te Patu (Mitch) is no stranger to onstage competitions having choreographed three seasons of New Zealand Idol. Jason has recently returned from Australia where he’s been performing in Miss Saigon. Jason is currently working on The World of Wearable Arts in Wellington.
Teacher Semu Filipo’s (William Barfee) spelling ought to be right on the night. After graduating from Toi Whakaari in 2006, Filipo trained as a drama teacher. Semu is a regular guest on Shortland Street and has appeared in a number of productions at BATS theatre in Wellington and Silo Theatre in Auckland. Better than Elvis’ blue suede shoes, Barfee’s magic spelling feet prove even spelling geeks can cut up the dance floor.
Esther Stephens (Marcy) first performed with ATC as an intern from Unitec for THE TWELFTH NIGHT. We have to keep a couple of seats free each night for Marcy’s parents. They live on an Ashram in India but are always present in spirit.
On stage with Auckland Theatre Company for the first time is Cameron Douglas (Chip). Cameron has starred in a number of musicals for The Court Theatre, including THE PRODUCERS, MY FAIR LADY and THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW. A hard working boy scout, Chip certainly got the badges to win.Popular Wellington based performer and ‘beat girl’ Christina Cusiel (Olive) will also make her debut with ATC in THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE. If you thought stage mums were a handful wait to you meet Olive’s two gay spelling dads. 

About the show:

 A hilariously hip musical comedy, THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE features six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learning that winning isn't everything.
Charles Isherwood of the New York Times called THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE “irresistible and entirely lovable and riotously funny.” Terry Teachout in the Wall Street Journal called the show “the best in town - that rarity of rarities, a super-smart show that is also a bona fide crowd-pleaser.” David Rooney of Variety stated that, “this winning new musical is so generously warm-heated, only the most bitter misanthrope could resist its charms.” Michael Sommers of the Star-Ledger called it “a nifty musical gift,” and Linda Winer of Newsday deemed it “endearingly deranged.” Michael Kuchwara of the Associated Press simply asked, “How do you spell h-i-t?”
