An all-women powerhouse cast and crew come together from across Aotearoa for the NZ premiere of West End smash-hit Di and Viv and Rose.

A sharp, relatable story about three women across three decades, growing together and drifting apart through the big events and little moments in life. Intelligently written with political retrospect, emotional dramatic shifts and plenty of antics – all set to an iconic 80’s soundtrack.

A gorgeous and affecting mix of nostalgia with gut-punching honesty.

“Crackling with wisdom and wit, Di and Viv and Rose is a humorous and thoughtful exploration of friendship's impact on life and life's impact on friendship.” – London Theatre 1

Hi Neighbours – join us on Saturday 17 October as we continue our season with a delightful triple-header.

We kick off with Josef Suk’s generously melodic serenade, which contains a capriciously dance-like second movement. Music Director Marc Taddei will, as ever, conduct our players through the performance, which includes Prokofiev's brilliant first piano concerto.

The concerto is performed by internationally celebrated pianist and cherished Wellingtonian Jian Liu, before we round off the evening with Rachmaninoff's beautiful third and final symphony.

Tickets start from $40, and the concert will take place at 7:30pm at the Michael Fowler Centre.
