Peppered with nostalgic, classic rock tunes that have had our audiences dancing and singing in their seats, we invite people to experience a live rock concert at the glorious Pig Bucket!

What Happened To Mary-Anne? is a fierce display of being radically authentic…

It is loud! It is brash! It is fiercely explosive and MORE!

What Happened to Mary-Anne? is back for an encore season at Te Pou Theatre following a hugely successful season at Auckland Pride. 

This is not just a musical; it is an experience – one that leaves you laughing, crying, and cheering for Mary-Anne as she rocks her way to freedom. If you have the chance to see What Happened to Mary-Anne?, don’t miss it. It’s a theatrical masterpiece that redefines the boundaries of comedy, drama, and rock and roll. - Blackguard Media Reviews
