Iconic kiwi cartoon to come alive on stage

REHEARSAL: Natalie Wilson, who plays both Pongo and Jess, at rehearsal.
 

If you like to plan your entertainment a little way ahead, look out for Whangarei Theatre Company’s production of the comedy musical Footrot Flats. 

This musical extravaganza is based on the famous Kiwi farming cartoon, and first appeared in the late 70s. 

Written by Roger Hall, the show will run from November 23 to December 8 at the Riverbank Centre, Reyburn House Lane, Whangarei. 

Whilst the concept, characters and ambience remain unchanged, this version has incorporated a lively style that has embraced the changing idiom of the entertainment scene thirty years on. 

Director Richard Harris has worked in consultation with the original author of the show, Roger Hall, to create an adaptation sparkling with humorous wit. The music and choreography inject colour and movement, along with some tranquil sentimentality that reflects the life of the hard working cow-cocky and his faithful dog. 

Laugh along with the antics of Wal, Cheeky, Dog, Horse, Aunt Dolly and all the other old favourites of the cartoon. Foot tap to the dance routines. Hum along to the sparkling songs. 

It’s a night of fun and enjoyment that will provide a wonderful introduction to the festive season, or the perfect staff Christmas night out. 

Tickets for the dinner and show combination cost $50, or $30 for the show alone. For children aged under 18, tickets cost $40 for dinner and show, or $20 for the show alone. Tickets on sale now online and at Whangarei Suit Hire in Rust Avenue, Whangarei.
