Wānaka’s next big musical set to make some noise this July Following the overwhelming success of its inaugural production Blood Brothers, Onstage Wānaka is back with another bold and ambitious production. The hit New Zealand musical That Bloody Woman, is opening at the Lake Wānaka Centre this July. Telling the story of suffrage icon Kate Sheppard in a modern, high-energy setting, That Bloody Woman is anything but a traditional history lesson. Packed with sharp humour, powerful music, bold characters and a rebellious spirit, the show celebrates the women who changed the course of New Zealand history, while delivering a theatrical experience that feels fresh, relevant and highly entertaining.

Following the sell-out success of Blood Brothers, demand is already building, and theatre-goers are being encouraged to secure tickets early. Tickets are now on sale, with opening and closing nights already proving extremely popular and on track to sell out quickly! “This is one of those shows people will be talking about,” says Onstage Wānaka President Andrea Beryl. “If Blood Brothers taught us anything, it’s don’t wait too long to get tickets!”
