🕺 Join us for an electrifying night of music, dance, and youthful rebellion as we bring the iconic story of Ren McCormack to life on our stage. Follow Ren as he moves to a small town where dancing is banned, but he's determined to change the rules and ignite the spirit of freedom.

🌟 This event is not just a musical; it's a community celebration! All proceeds from the show support our beloved Riverlea Theatre and help us continue to bring quality entertainment to our community.

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.

But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.

Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
