Palmerston North will be transformed into a glowing wonderland.
The Glow Show is coming to Palmerston North this month during its nationwide tour that started on June 19 and will take in 27 venues across the country from Kaitaia to Invercargill.
This year’s show, Wonderland Glow Show is a New Zealand version of Alice in Wonderland. Viewers will be transported into a world of dancing flamingos, an eight-metre caterpillar and giant flowers.
Wonderland Glow Show features cast members Carolyn Lamonde, Bryn Monk, Numela Ta’avao, Georgie Tuipulotu and Terry Hooper.
During the tour, the show will raise funds to gift 2000 tickets to children in and around Napier who have suffered from Cyclone Gabrielle.
The Glow Show was launched by Sarah Burren in 2017. Sarah was based in London and Toronto for 15 years. During that time she made costumes for a number of shows including Basil Brush’s attire for the BBC.
She also worked across Europe and in North America, making couture garments for a range of celebrities, including Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson in the mid-1980s.
