"Adults only", funny, risqué cabaret: Boobs! The Musical!
Our Christmas Show is the entertaining off-Broadway hit “Boobs! – the musical. The World According to Ruth Wallis”. Featuring lyrics and music by 1950s and 1960s star Ruth Wallis, it tells the story of her international career and struggles in performing her naughty songs.
The musical revue runs from 25 November to 16 December 2017 at Riverlea Theatre. Bookings are through iTicket, or contact the Theatre Manager – phone (07) 856 5450.
The original show opened in New York City in 2003 to critical praise; it had subsequent long runs in New Orleans (2004) and Wichita (2005). This New Zealand production is the first time it has been performed outside of America. There is a London West End production planned for the new year.
In the 1960s Ruth Wallis’s recordings were banned in Australia, but her live performances garnered the biggest cabaret following! In that decade her fame also found its way to New Zealand where NZ artist Noel Mackay had a No 1 hit with “Johnny's Little Yoyo”. In the 1960s/70s New Zealand record collections were often found with her recordings, and played as part of the party culture of the time!
The New Zealand premiere production is a project close to the heart of its kiwi director, Dennis Ralph. “When I was a child, listening to my parents entertain, it was a highlight when the Ruth Wallis records were brought out. Such was their impact, they became the first songs I learned to sing as a child! Of course, on occasions, my performance would be followed by a terse note from teachers or parents, whose feigned shock never quite dulled their fun."
We have a company of talented players and are thrilled that Janine Swainson will portray the one and only Ruth Wallis. Don't miss this riotous comedy - perfect entertainment for your end of year function. Tickets include a delicious buffet dinner catered by Hamilton Caterers and a ticket to the show, all for only $70 per person!

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?

The Great Flavour Debate: We want to know what the current "Gold Standard" is for you.
What is the crème de la crème of ice cream flavours?
🍦 The Purist: Are you a "perfect vanilla or nothing" kind of person?
🍫 The Chocoholic: The darker and chunkier the better?
🧂 The Salty-Sweet: Is Salted Caramel still the reigning champ?
🌈 The Wildcard: Are you into the experimental stuff—think lavender, chilli, or charcoal?
