Christmas is coming to Palmerston North a few days early this year, thanks to a Christmas concert packed with local talent.
New Stage Production’s Shane Brown says rehearsals are in full swing for Palmerston North’s When Christmas Comes to Town, the last of a four-series production.
“We’ve organised this for Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Palmerston North. Palmerston North is the last show of the schedule, taking place two days before Christmas. There will be a massive Christmas tree on stage, and other trees as well. It’s going to be a magical night.”
There will be plenty of local talent, says Shane, with 130 children taking to the stage in the children’s choir.
“Each show has a choir featuring local kids from the area. We auditioned 240 children from Palmerston North, and 130 were selected. They will be joined by an amazing group of adults and the star of the show, Ryan Little from Lychway Funeral Directors in Palmerston North.”
