This penultimate "Royal Friends" newsletter for 2009 is full of tasty & tantilising theatre treats coming our way soon!

For those of you coming on Thursday for "Shirley Valentine", we'll see you then, and for those of you who are still thinking about it, don't think too long, there's not many tickets left but we've saved 40 of the best seats 'til last!! Grab yours today and whatever happens we'll see you at the Isaac Theatre Royal very soon.

Royal New Zealand Ballet

FULL HOUSE!

It is always a great feeling to have the HOUSE FULL sign out on shownights but to have it out 3 times running for the final performances of Royal New Zealand Ballet's "Peter Pan" is something quite special and a testament to the consistent quality productions that RNZ Ballet bring to our Theatre.

For those of you lucky enough to have seen this spectacular production I'm sure you'll agree

that it was quite simply beautiful and deserved every accolade it received.

RNZ Ballet's 2010 programme has now been announced - A Year of Irresistable Charm featuring "From Here To There" in March, the sizzlingly seductive "Carmen" in June and the Christmas classic "The Nutcracker" in November. For all details or to book early visit www.nzballet.org.nz

Last Shout for Shirley

Thursday 3 December @ 7.30pm

Our Shirley Valentine special offer last month caused absolute frenzy with the 100 "Bring A Friend For Free" tickets selling out in less than an hour! Amazing, so thanks for your support for the NZ Breast Cancer Foundation and we look forward to see you here this Thursday night.

40 special A-Reserve front two row seats have just been released today so don't leave it until the last minute grab them today for the best seats in the house!!

This hilarious production is a real heart warmer and with less than 100 tickets left to sell, it should be a rollicking house once again for Nancy Schroder as the delightful Shirley Valentine! This is the final time this comedy classic will play at our Theatre so don't miss out, you'll laugh out loud and feel fabulous when you leave...
