This hilarious 1-hour show follows Wayne “King of Karaoke” in his search for the perfect band. Join him on his journey down the Waikato to discover new friends, foes and the biggest pop band to ever grace the planet.
Director Tom Sainsbury says 'This play is just so much fun! It's all the great karaoke numbers - ‘Proud Mary’, ‘Don't Stop Me Now’ and ‘Call Me’, as well as toe-tapping dance numbers and kiwi humour!”
This stellar stand-out cast of 10 musical performers is pure perfection... This should really be on at The Civic!
