Motown Show raises $20,000

Stage 51 put together a Motown Show for the Hibiscus Hospice with a top line-up of Kiwi entertainers. A packed room, big backdrops and a first-class cast made it a huge success.

The feedback has been so positive — everyone appeared to have a really good time, and I was thrilled with everyone dancing from start to finish. Gary, the artists were first class. Our profit looks to be around $20,000, which is a marvellous result. Working with you and Stage 51 guarantees a polished show.

Orewa Christmas at the Beach

A community concert and fundraiser for Koru Care NZ, with a top line-up of Kiwi entertainers, amusements, markets and food vendors — plus a fireworks finale that people are still talking about.

Loved this concert and the night. Awesome music and a great mix of Christmas songs. Great combination of talent. The fireworks were just incredible and the whole event was magic. Can't wait till next year!

Bigger stage, bigger production

A new stage layout, a monster screen and a bigger production made a real impression on the crowds — and every year we look for ways to lift it again. None of it happens without our sponsors, so please support the businesses that support these events.
