This includes the intended performance at the Oamaru Opera House on March 5th 2011.<br /><br />We appreciate the inconvenience postponements of shows create but also acknowledge this is trivial compared to what many of our friends, relatives and industry partners are currently facing in Christchurch at this time.<br /><br />TicketDirect Oamaru will we offering full refunds for the Micheal Jackson History performance or ticket holders can keep their tickets and transfer them to the later date.<br /><br />Showtime Australia who is the promoter for this event is based in Queensland and has been working tirelessly to piece together information about Christchurch, its theatres and infrastructure whilst also being respectful that the priority for those in Christchurch right now is about the rescue and safety of people. At this time new dates have not been confirmed, an announcement will be made as soon as this information becomes available. We thank you in advance for your patience.<br /><br />The Oamaru Opera House and TicketDirect Oamaru wish to take this opportunity to extend condolences to those affected by loss and grief and commend those who are at this time working to support the region.<br /><br />Richard McWha<br />Director, Oamaru Opera Houseencorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13071689030865777874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086397732830409211.post-86651805310105957062011-01-20T09:41:00.006+13:002011-01-20T10:44:07.494+13:00What a Start!!!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhidSeKDyhbzDJglb7X1SAlUODzJh-yE6TTmEL9F42CY_5ASKj970eKuhA-EE2CvlhGAr4dt0tpF1S4HgsHpTPJadZv-bV9i52DupT5rk_-YMz0xAvHUFoBMnAh97Fdemj1pCt8Bze8wg4/s1600/ooh.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 311px; height: 218px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhidSeKDyhbzDJglb7X1SAlUODzJh-yE6TTmEL9F42CY_5ASKj970eKuhA-EE2CvlhGAr4dt0tpF1S4HgsHpTPJadZv-bV9i52DupT5rk_-YMz0xAvHUFoBMnAh97Fdemj1pCt8Bze8wg4/s400/ooh.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564012835692404242" border="0" /></a></div> <span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">Wow!

<br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;">TOWER Tutus on Tour is our opportunity to share what we do with as many New Zealanders as possible. Every two years our company divides in half and one group heads south and the other north. Over the following six weeks, they're on the road performing in more than 40 towns and cities.</span></p><div style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: arial; text-align: left;"> </div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: left;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">
<br />The ultimate 'tiki tour', Tutus sees the dancers performing in community theatres, town halls and school gymnasiums. Logistically it's a huge challenge - we take everything with us from washing machines to kettles - but we love it.</span><span style="font-size:85%;">

<br />
<br />Oamaru's Steampunk Gala Ball follows the Oamaru Steampunk Fashion show, of course!
<br />
<br />Let your imagination run wild and create a character from a Victorian science fiction story of your making. Mad scientist, intrepid explorer, or simple soldier of the extraordinary kind, gracious housekeeper, grand dame of the night or dancer extraordinaire, the choice is limitless. Whoever you are, dress the part, play the part, come, join the frenzy of fun to dance the night away in the heart of Victorian Oamaru, New Zealand's steampunk capital.

<br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;">A sumptuous supper and live music of the steampunk kind are included. There will be story telling as we hear about the worlds of those attending, belly dancing and gentlemanly dueling and dancing; dancing, dancing, dancing.

<br />The great flowering of music during the Baroque era inspired composers to seek sumptuous sounds and create melodies of pure delight. This concert offers a celebration of brilliance of their achievement.
<br />
<br />Baroque composers particularly loved the oboe for it's melodic richness, Bach's D minor concerto for the instrument was written during his happy time with the court orchestra at Cothen. In the work now known as Air on a G String from the Suite No. 3, Bach created one of the most famous melodies of all time. <span style=""> </span>For the Paris Opera, Rameau created music of luxurious opulence and dramatic excitement, and in his Volker Overture, Telemann draws inspiration from his insatiable curiosity for the melodies and dance music of different countries and folk traditions, here traversing Turkish, Swiss, Russian, Portuguese and French sources in a rich display of his vivacious worldly musical style.

Much loved actress Miranda Harcourt's BIOGRAPHY OF MY SKIN has you in tears one minute and laughing-out-loud the next.
<br />Set against an 80s and 90s soundtrack - and a backdrop of traffic violations, the '81 Springbok tour, hand-made skin lotion, GLOSS, Princess Di and true crime - BIOGRAPHY traces the role of a lifetime through four decades we'll never forget.
<br />Written by husband Stuart McKenzie, BIOGRAPHY is a comedy about love, marriage and growing up. What starts as a solo show is soon anything but, as people from Miranda's life pop up unexpectedly to claim their side of the story.
<br />From the team who brought you kiwi classic FLOWERS FROM MY MOTHER'S GARDEN, this new popular and critical triumph is outstanding contemporary theatre with a big heart. If you've been in love or come from a family, BIOGRAPHY is a must-see.
<br />
<br />"It is funny, insightful, shocking, poignant, extraordinarily personal and generous. A gift. Not to be missed."
<br />-John Smythe, Theatreview

They will be performing at 26 different venues starting on Friday 18th December and touring until Sunday 14th February.<br /><br />Scott May's Daredevil Stunt Show is a fast moving, action packed show with monster truck destruction, Europe's only monster ride-truck, the human cannonball, car-crushing action from Thundertrax, a tank/monster truck hybrid, motorcycle, quad and all-terrain buggy jumps, amazing fire stunts, two-wheel driving displays with cars, buggies and quads and much, much more.<br /><br />Scott May has been touring with his stunt show throughout the UK for almost 20 years and brings an unrivalled reputation and level of skill to his daredevil show. His stunt team demonstrate incredible skill and precision throughout a show that is a thrill to the senses. Feel the ground rumble under your feet with the extreme power and roar of the monster trucks. Hear the twisting metal of the car crashes. Smell the burning rubber of the full throttle motorcycle stunts. See the greatest show on wheels!<br /><br />Those spectators daring enough to ride in one of the show's mega monster machines have the chance to win a ride in Europe's only ride on monster truck. The truck aptly named 'Slaine' has 10 seats in the back to thrill the lucky winners who dare to enter the competition.<br /><br />As well as a ride on monster truck there is a second monster truck, "The Bandit" and an adapted tracked vehicle "Thunder Trax", which both cause massive destruction.<br /><br />Other exciting features of the show involve fire, pyrotechnics and the infamous Sumpy the stunt clown. Sumpy, as always will be bouncing into things and causing trouble wherever he decides to get involved.<br /><br />Book your tickets at The OoH, The Oamaru i-Site or 0800 4 Ticket.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm417OxxuNAencorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13071689030865777874noreply@blogger.com0
