Night fever returns for postponed shows
Showtime Australia’s The Bee Gees Night Fever is set to return this September to complete three final performances from its postponed 2021 tour.
The show will be making two stops in Auckland - at the north shore’s Bruce Mason Centre on 16 September and the southside’s SkyCity Theatre on 26 September – plus an exciting arena performance in Hamilton at Globox Arena Claudelands on 20 September.
The show’s international cast and crew were already in New Zealand in October 2021 ready to start their national tour when extra COVID-19 restrictions were brought in by the New Zealand government, forcing the last-minute postponement of some of their events.
The cast is thrilled to finally now be able to return to Auckland and Hamilton to perform for fans there, and is hoping to make these shows extra special for all the patrons who have been so patient and understanding.
“It’s been a difficult few years for our industry. But New Zealand fans and theatregoers have been so supportive and understanding. Now we just want to bring them a great show to say “thanks” for sticking in there with us,” says Promoter and Director Johnny Van Grinsven.
Fans will be able to hear all the disco dance-floor-fillers, smooth 70s ballads and 60s Pop standards that the world-renowned Bee Gees are famous for, including Stayin’ Alive, Jive Talkin’, You Should Be Dancin’, How Deep Is Your Love, More Than a Woman, Tragedy, If I Can’t Have You and so many more, performed live in three-part harmony with full backing band and theatrical production.
Tickets are on sale now from the venue box offices.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)

Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato?
New data has pinpointed Hamilton’s most dangerous intersections, including a high risk Cobham Drive turn off that a resident and driving experts believe should be shut for good.
While that turn into Grey St has resulted in the highest number of injuries, most crashes occurred at the bustling intersection of Te Rapa Straight and Wairere Drive.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
