Former Paraparaumu College student stars in THE SHOWS MUST GO ON
If ever was a silver lining to lockdown, this is it!
New Zealand’s best musical theatre performers have returned home from Broadway, West End and other international stages for lockdown, and not content to sit idle any longer, today announce they’re sharing their amazing talents with us all in THE SHOWS MUST GO ON.
Seven world-class artists will perform showstoppers from your favourite musicals including The Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables, Hairspray, Dreamgirls, The Greatest Showman, We Will Rock You and Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
One of the stars is sure to be who Akina Edmonds who attended Paraparaumu College. She has gained recognition across the ditch with her powerful voice, joining the cast of major Australian tours of Buddy Holly the Musical, Avenue Q, Hairspray, An Officer and a Gentleman, Children of Eden, The Lion King, Beautiful; The Carole King Musical and Sister Act the Musical where she played the starring role of Deloris van Cartier.
In 2019, Akina took to The Voice Australia stage where she worked with Guy Sebastian and Boy George and progressed through to the Battle rounds.
The Wellington dates are October 10 Wellington Opera House, and the Paraparaumu Performing arts Centre, October 12.
