Roll Up, Roll Up! Mr And Mrs Alexander Bring Sideshows And Psychics To Toitoi

Step right up for a theatrical experience like no other—prepare to be mystified, mesmerised and utterly entertained when Mr and Mrs Alexander: Sideshows & Psychics! takes the stage at Toitoi – Hawke’s Bay Arts & Events Centre for one night only on Saturday, 28 June.

Hailed as “gripping theatre, full of laughs and thrills, surprises and delights”, this internationally acclaimed production is part play, part spectacle—blending mind reading, illusion, and sideshow stunts into a devilishly clever night of entertainment.

Set in 1888 colonial New Zealand, the story invites audiences into the spellbinding world of the country’s most infamous showbiz couple. With a flair for the dramatic and a touch of the supernatural, Mr Alexander makes objects disappear, while Mrs Alexander astonishes with psychic feats and dangerous illusions.

Created and performed by award-winning duo Lizzie Tollemache and David Ladderman, and directed by Mike Friend, the show features original music by Robbie Ellis and the expertise of Magic Advisor Mike Hines. This is homegrown New Zealand theatre at its boldest and most bewitching.

“Presenting original New Zealand theatre that’s as inventive as it is entertaining, is something we take pride in at Toitoi.” says Glen Pickering, Toitoi’s Presenter Services Manager. “Mr and Mrs Alexander is a clever and charismatic blend of storytelling, sideshow, and stage magic. Audiences get to experience the mystery and spectacle live on the Opera House stage.”

With accolades including Outstanding Ensemble at the Ottawa Fringe Festival and Critics’ Choice at the World Buskers Festival, this is a rare theatrical treat for lovers of history, mystery, and the extraordinary.

Don’t miss your chance to witness the magic—live on stage for one unforgettable night
