Chamber Music NZ - Piers Lane Nocturnes

SATURDAY MARCH 1, 7:30PM

Australian, London-based pianist Piers Lane returns to New Zealand to perform the complete cycle of Frédéric Chopin’s beloved nocturnes.

The 21 nocturnes are among Chopin’s most intimate compositions, suggestive of a myriad of nighttime atmospheres and emotions. Of twilight, dusk and into the dark night. Of contemplation, serenity, melancholy, drama, and joy. They are each elegantly drawn and sensuously beautiful. The first nocturne was composed when Chopin was 17, and with the final nocturne being composed just three years before his death at age 39, additional associative emotions can be imagined.

No praise could be high enough for Piers Lane whose playing throughout is of a superb musical intelligence, sensitivity, and scintillating brilliance.
Bryce Morrison, Gramophone.

The Big Bike Film Night

THURSDAY MARCH 6, 7PM

Let the good times ROLL!! The Big Bike Film Night is riding into town on its mission - bringing the best cycling short films from around the world together for you. Showcasing our 2025 collection that has everything a cycling-centric audience could want- action, drama, humour, and plenty of inspiration we're going to spin your wheels, crank your dial, and ring your bell!

There’s always an air of mystique about The Big Bike Film Night; we’re not your typical mainstream film festival, we’re left field and damn proud of it. Treasuring where a bike can take you, our annual curated collection of short bike films is devised and designed to delight the two-wheel devotee in celebrating the fun, the adventure and the inspiration that cycling enables.

We don’t reveal what films go into our collections; just like riding a bike –it’s the journey and not the destination that is important, but here are some insights...

The 2025 treasure chest of films includes: 
•    an exhilarating film that redefines what’s possible on a gravel bike on technically challenging terrains
•    a heartwarming documentary that explores the importance of getting outside, no matter where one is on life’s journey
•    an uplifting film that follows a group of local bike and snow enthusiasts from Wānaka, who have the desire to bring positive social change to their local community through an annual “bikepack” to the local Ski Resort with all their gear, a bit of “type 2” fun!
•    an inspiring mountain bike ride through back country Queenstown that is both poetic and meaningful
•    a life-changing experience for a group of friends who undertake a trip to a bothie (hut) in the Highlands of Scotland to show what can be achieved by people with disabilities in relation to having adventures
•    a film that celebrates the art of “winging it” and how travelling by bicycle and the power of exploration can obliterate preconceptions and contribute to understanding others 
•    and a classic Kiwi story of a young trailblazer participating in a gruelling six-day mountain bike rally, exploring his boundaries with his own signature entirely unsupported style -fueled by a penchant for chocolate milk
ALL in the mix!

These short films are a great reminder of why we love to ride our bike; with stories that captivate us, stories that make us think, and most importantly of all – inspiring us to get out and ride.  All celebrate the fun, adventure, and joy that cycling enables. So...listen to the voice inside you; it’s telling you to go. Grab your mates, GO ON… grab your bike and come along for the ride!!

THERAPY: A Musical Comedy
 
FRIDAY MARCH 7, 7:30PM
SATURDAY MARCH 8, 7:30PM
 
True crime fun-facts, realising you joined a cult and boldly announcing your intrusive thoughts. Yeah - we sing about these things.
 
THERAPY is making its way to The Globe hot off the back of sold out seasons in Dunedin and Christchurch, and following its debut at BATS for the 2025 New Zealand Fringe Festival.

This one (and a half) woman musical follows said woman's visits to therapy with the hope of a quick fix for dizzy-spells. She spends a few sessions avoiding serious questions, laughing about being human, and finally addressing something from her past she's ignored for too long. The show is based on real events, with script and score by Chelsea McRae, Mario Sadra de-Jong and Cody McRae.

“The audience’s laughter made it clear we had all put our foot in our mouths before.” – BROADWAY WORLD

“THERAPY celebrates the messy parts of personhood, holding space for the non-linearity of trauma and healing.” – THEATREVIEW

“THERAPY represents the tortuous voyage towards self discovery. Its air of whimsy makes the pill successfully palatable.” - OTAGO DAILY TIMES

Show runs for 60 minutes with no interval

R13 - Content warning: discusses mental illness, suicide, sexual assault, and uses strong language

Made possible with support from Palmerston North Creative Communities Scheme and University of Otago School of Performing Arts.
Presented by Good for Her Productions

THE POWDER PUFF CABARET is hilarious, glamourous, cheeky and downright fun.

Bring your lover, bring your mother – heck - invite the vicar – come join the fun!

“…funny… tantalising, with impressive dancing and the kind of costumes that made you want to go straight home and throw anything remotely resembling a granny pantie out the window.”

Nick Hyde - New Horizons - Album Release Tour

SATURDAY MARCH 15, 8:00PM

Nick Hyde is a Dunedin based artist who released his Second album "New Horizons" at the end of 2024. His songs come straight from the heart, with thoughtful, soulful lyrics that draw inspiration from his personal experiences in life. With a musical style inspired by the likes of Ryan Adams, the Goo Goo Dolls, life house and Zach Bryan. Nick blends elements of alternative rock with deep acoustic melodies and raw, emotional vocals to create a unique New Zealand sound.

This will be an up close and personal solo set, taking you on an emotional musical journey not to be missed.

"Nick Hyde’s acoustic guitar work ranges from finger-picked ballads to easy-strummed light rock. This is a comfortable, slightly introspective listen with husky vocals and a nice spirit behind everything. ‘Dreams Are Free’ and ‘Sunday Morning’ are sing-alongs waiting for a crowd" Hamilton underground press

"We were captivated by the raw emotion and sheer talent of Nick Hyde at tonight's performance! From his soulful vocals to the intimate melodies, he poured his heart out on stage - A truly beautiful and vulnerable performance that left us all in awe." Space Studio & Gallery - Whanganui

Michael Houstoun Plays Schubert & Gershwin

SUNDAY MARCH 16, 2:30PM

Michael Houstoun returns to the Globe Theatre to perform a beautiful programme of piano masterpieces by Franz Schubert and George Gershwin.

As well as the Four Impromptus, Op.90 by Schubert, Houstoun will present his final sonata, the Sonata in B flat, D.960. Houstoun describes this sonata as “a spiritual document without parallel showing us the depths of our own hearts”.

The concert also includes four of the Virtuoso Studies on Gershwin by the brilliant American pianist Earl Wild. Wild has arranged some of George Gershwin’s most famous and loved songs for solo piano and Houstoun will play Lady Be Good, The Man I Love, I Got Rhythm and Embraceable You.

As Houstoun says “the tunes are great and Wild does not bury them or turn them upside down – he honours them and shows off the piano at the same time. Truly a pleasure to play”.

Palmy Comedy Fest '25 - Patch Lambert: Rough Patch

FRIDAY MARCH 21, 7:50PM

As a single father, award-winning comedian Patch Lambert is on the brink of being dragged kicking and screaming into the Divorced Dads Club - a world where Nickelback blares from the car stereo, a supermarket pizza passes as fine dining, and asking about mum's new boyfriend is part of the daily routine. F*** that.

But just when you think you’re getting through it, you get blindsided with the rough patches you thought you’d buried, popping into your mind at the worst moments, like mid-timber sale at Bunnings, where you swear so loudly the cashier thinks you’ve declared war on plywood (when in reality you’ve just remembered the time you got caught making fun of your teacher 15 years ago).

This show is not a therapy session, instead this is the night out we all deserve: A hilarious, chaotic and triumphant journey through the shared struggle of holding it all together.

"If you can get through one of Patch's shows without grinning like an idiot, you should check your soul. He's so likeable you almost want to hate him. Almost." - Jeremy Elwood

Palmy Comedy Fest '25 - Callum Wagstaff: The Weird Sh*t

FRIDAY MARCH 21, 8:55PM

Join me, Callum Wagstaff, on the border of what's even considered comedy.

This show is a collection of every joke I told last year that never quite captured the room, but had small pockets of people laughing so hard and long that I had to wait for them to finish before I could continue.

Palmy Fest is the perfect place to take these fever dreams and help them find an audience. Cat biscuits, possums, Roswell, solving healthcare budgets by sewing people together, pretending your mind is being read just in case it is, what to do with the space between your organs, sleeping with the lights on, and is eating someone's eyelash sexual harasment?

I can't promise any answers, clever satire or insightful social commentary. But I promise it will be different.

Palmy Comedy Fest '25 - Dan Bain: Would You Like Me More If I Was Less Like Me?

SUNDAY MARCH 23, 6:30PM

Ōtautahi's award-winning comedian Dan Bain is spiralling into a hilarious existential crisis as he begins to wonder if his lack of popularity is due to an unshakable truth—perhaps he's just unlikeable. In this one-hour exploration of hyper-articulate overthinking, Bain attempts the impossible: to fundamentally change who he is and become instantly famous. Will he succeed? (Spoilers: probably not).

“I’m a tad disappointed… He’s smart. Maybe too smart?” – Theatreview

Prima Facie

WEDNESDAY MARCH 26, 7:30PM
THURSDAY MARCH 27, 7:30PM

Tessa Ensler loves her job. She’s worked her way up from a working-class background to being a top criminal defense barrister at the top of her game – prosecuting, cross-examining and winning in the courtroom with her quick wit and intelligence. Fighting to defend those pleading not guilty – including securing freedom for men accused of rape and sexual assault. Innocent until proven guilty is, after all, the bedrock of human rights.

An unexpected event however forces Tessa to confront the very system she has spent her life believing and working within – a system where the lines of patriachal power and burden of proof are not set up to accommodate the lived experience of sexual assault survivors.

Acclaimed Oliver and Tony award-winning play, Suzie Miller’s Prima Facie is an unforgettable story and one-woman tour de force that has the power to question the structure of the legal system and takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience conflict within the system as we know it.

Prima Facie was first produced by Griffin Theatre Company in May 2019 at the SBW Stables Theatre followed by the award-winning 2022 West End premiere at the Harold Pinter Theatre which then traveled to the Golden Theatre on Broadway in 2023. Prima Facie is currently being translated and performed all over the world and in 2023 was also released into a book.

Directed by NZ acting royalty Michael Hurst and performed by Cassandra Woodhouse, NZ Theatre Company is honoured to bring Prima Facie to the NZ stage and continue the call to action that this story is demanding worldwide.

“SOMEWHERE. SOMETIME. SOMEHOW.
SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE.”

Content Warning: Prima Facie includes references to sexual assault.
Recommended for audiences aged 14 years and above, parent or guardian advised.
Run Time: 1 hour, 30min with no interval

Strict lockout: no admittance once the performance has started.

Palmy Comedy Fest '25 - Yes We Speak English!

SATURDAY MARCH 29, 7:50PM

We might look foreign, but surprisingly enough we speak English.

Marmite vs soy sauce, yeah-nah vs haiya, kiwi vs panda. Summer Xia, 2022 Raw Finalist, shares her journey of becoming a ‘Chiwi’, a first-gen Chinese immigrant navigating Kiwi life and rediscovering her own culture. From being her mum’s A+ daughter to challenging stereotypes, casual racism, and her parents’ obsession with grandchildren, Summer’s sharp observations and personal stories explore family, identity, and belonging—with laughs every step of the way.

Part-Indian, part-English, Shirin wonders if her failure to belong comes from being brown - or sometimes not brown enough? Taking a shallow dive into politics and identity, Shirin looks on the funny side of living, working and bringing up children in New Zealand.

Come and have a laugh with us as we share our migrant voices in Palmy.

Some smart people believe in God. Other smarter people don’t. But what if God rocked up tomorrow, keen for a recap of the last 5000 years, and - because he works in mysterious ways - chose the absolute worst person for the job: a comedian... from Palmy.

Enter multi-award-winning comic Dylan Stewart, the bloke you didn’t ask for but probably deserve. Will he save humanity with his wit, or send us straight to the fiery pits of divine disappointment? God only knows.

(Note: No actual deities were consulted for this show. Just Dylan and his questionable life choices.)

Palmy Comedy Fest '25 - Alan McElroy: Ah Jaysus!

SUNDAY MARCH 30, 8:40PM

Alan McElroy grew up in a very religious Ireland in the 80’s & 90’s. It was everywhere! Like the Big J man himself! But Instead of heavenly influences, he was heavily influenced by the holy trinity of TV, films & video games! In fact, he watched & played them all, religiously. It was more of What Would John McClane Do? Or ‘Love Thy Neighbours’ (He used to kiss the telly when Charlene Robinson was on screen).

Forget Christ Has Risen, when Sigourney Weaver was risen four feet above the bed while possessed in Ghostbusters, that was a surprise early entrance into adulthood for a young Alan McElroy.

When our biggest idols were wise cracking, hungover cops who save the day and get the girl, it was no wonder we got sucked in.

‘Ah, Jaysus!’ is a hilarious look at growing up during a crazy time, in a mad country and a follow up to last year’s sold out show, ‘Mad, Innit?!’ A show in which Alan looked back on his life with undiagnosed ADHD as a child & those stories continue with ‘Ah, Jaysus!’

Greg Johnson - Vine Street Stories 30th Anniversary
 
SUNDAY APRIL 27, 7:00PM
 
To coincide with the 30th Anniversary, Universal Music are releasing Vine Street Stories (1995) on vinyl for the first time, following on from the vinyl release this month of Johnson’s Seabreeze Motel (2000) double album.

The Vine Street Stories album is home to many of Johnson’s most enduring radio hits and live favourites, including Don’t Wait Another Day, You Stay Out Of Your Life, If I Swagger, Suddenly Cold, Come On, Let The Sun Beat Down, and Pleasure and Overdose.

The album was produced by Nigel Stone and largely recorded at Johnson’s long-time residence throughout the 1990s in Vine Street, St Mary’s Bay – a home in which he penned many of his most renowned songs, and hosted legendary parties which are still hazily talked about by the Auckland music scene today.

Says Johnson: “Digging deep in to the songs off Vine Street Stories is going to be a lot of fun, and it reminds me of those great years working hard and playing harder, before guitarist Ted Brown and I spread our wings with the move to the US.

“So many memories around the recording this album, including having to quickly brace the lounge floorboards from underneath, as they buckled under the weight of the grand piano rolled in to record If I Swagger.”

“This tour is a celebration, and alongside Vine Street Stories material we’ll throw in some other fan favourites as well. I can’t wait to see everyone again”.

Joining Greg on stage is his longtime bandmates; guitarist Ben King, drummer Wayne Bell, bassist Mark Hughes, and guest keyboardist Lisa Crawley returning from California.

Vine Street Stories is album number three of the 13 studio albums Johnson has released; a rich catalogue of much-loved by fans – including the critically-acclaimed recent releases, Tilt You Interior (2021) and Thunder In Fall (2024).

In 2025, they’re hitting the road for over 30 Australian dates, a New Zealand tour, and their first UK and EU shows, all in support of National Panic.

Joining Rufous Whistler are Butter Wouldn't Melt (NZ). Butter Wouldn't Melt are Andrea Reid (Guitar - vocals), Nick Burfield (Guitar - vocals), Cara Rose (Fiddle) , Marz Connelly (Double Bass)

Finalist for the 2023 Best Folk Artist Tūī | Te Kaipuoro Taketake Toa, Butter Wouldn't Melt mix country music and Americana with local stories, observations close to home, dark driving rhythms and haunting harmonies.

Their debut album ‘1931’ was nominated for folk album of the year, covering songs about important moments in New Zealand’s history, including ‘Eve of 31’, written about the Napier earthquake and ‘The Tunnel’ about the ghost of Wellington’s Victoria tunnel.

This year they are back with their sophomore album. Recorded in the hills of Papakowhai, the recipe has been refined but at its heart remains the same. Musically inspired by country’s greats. Lyrically inspired by our beautiful landscape, its past, present and future.

Don’t miss your chance to see Australia and New Zealand's finest acts live—a night of folk and alt-country music that hits home and leaves you wanting more!

Chamber Music NZ - Four Last Songs

SUNDAY OCTOBER 12, 4:00PM

Composed in the year before his passing, the Four Last Songs are held by many to be Richard Strauss’ most beautiful, sensuous, and moving composition. They are songs of farewell and of gentle heartbreak. The words of the final song, Im Abendrot, speak of an elderly couple walking hand in hand, at rest from their wanderings, away from life. The final verse:
O weiter, stiller Friede! O vast and silent peace!
So tief im Abendrot So deep in sunset glow,
Wie sind wir wandermüde- How weary we are with wandering-
Ist dies etwa der Tod? Could this perhaps be death?

For this special premier performance, Salina Fisher has arranged the Four Last Songs for NZTrio and celebrated Australian soprano Emma Pearson.
