Songs to die for!

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the theatre… Dead Tragic, the cult musical of the 90s returns with the (mostly) original cast for this demand return season!

Newest cast member Lyndee-Jane Rutherford is excited to power ballad some songs to die for - “I have seen this show twice! It was so much fun. Both times I sat there wishing I could be in it. Now I am! Yay!”

Featuring more than 20 macabre hits (and misses) from the 50s, 60s and 70s, this variety show of woe is a toe tapping, riotous evenings entertainment – perfect for Christmas celebrations or a family fun night out!

So, who shot who at the Copacabana?
What did they do to Maria? (When they did what they did to Maria!)
Why did Billy Joe MacAllister jump off the Tallahatchie Bridge?

These, and many other mysteries of pop music, may be answered by Dead Tragic!

“Dead Tragic is the most fun I’ve ever had doing a show,” says writer, musician and performer Michael Nicholas Williams. “Since our first production in 1991, we’ve included extra songs and evolved with new Music Licensing rules (bye-bye Bee gees!) and we can’t wait to . . . kill you not-so-softly with our song!”

“A brilliant show and a must-see” – Palmerston North Tribune
“Gloriously gratuitous and giddy” – Palmerston North Guardian
“Manic, black-comic zest” – Theatreview

Featuring songs by: Tom Jones, Barry Manilow, Dolly Parton, Cher, Queen, Paul Anka, The Shangri-Las, Elvis and many more!

Starring: Emma Kinane, Jon Pheloung, Lyndee-Jane Rutherford, Michael Nicholas Williams and Darren Young
