New Kiwi Musical Slated For the Big Time!

PRESS RELEASE-

I WISH I LEARNED- New Kiwi Musical Slated For the Big Time!

Tickets are NOW ON SALE for new Kiwi musical I WISH I LEARNED at the Herald Theatre, Aotea Centre in May, featuring Michael Murphy of NZ Idol fame but get in quick as it's a limited season!

I WISH I LEARNED has been shortlisted for the New York Musical Theatre Festival 2013,a huge coup for a homegrown show from NZ. If successful the NZ cast will travel over to perform a season in an off Broadway Theatre, putting NZ and it's talent in the international spotlight.

I WISH I LEARNED tells the story of four former classmates who meet as adults at their primary school reunion. Set in their old classroom the show progresses through life's lessons using the Alphabet and the musical scale, as the characters explore the things they wish they'd learned about work and money, fear and faith, heartache and love.

The show is universally appealing and prompts the audience to ask the question "What do you wish you had learned in school?"

Book, music and lyrics are by Kiwi writer/composer Vicki Millar, who has a musical theatre Masters degree from the University of London and over a decade's experience producing her original musicals in Australia. The cast features Michael Murphy, Shaan Antunovich, Alexandra McKellar and Nathaniel Ta'ase.

The show will run at The Herald Theatre, Aotea centre, THE EDGE from Thursday 16 May til Fri 24 May.
