Returning after their smash hit performance, Busting Out! is a show like no other!!! Take two big talents, with even bigger personalities and personal attributes, combine skits, tricks and song and sit back and prepare to be amazed at what the irrepressible Emma Powell and Bev Killick do when they take a most irreverent look at that much revered embodiment of womanhood - the breast. Busting Out! reinvents how we look at breasts and notions of what breasts are for, what they can do and discovers that there is far more to the humble boob than previously imagined. Months of rehearsals have resulted in some spectacular mammary manipulation and very numb nipples to produce truly amazing and outrageous tricks including the Plumbers Crack, the Baby and the Donut as well as some hilarious demonstrations as to how boobs may be enhanced and utilised in daily life. Adult $59.90 Senior (65+ with ID)/Student (with ID) $52.90 Group 10+ $49.90.
NB: No age restrictions but not recommended for under 16's. Show contains partial nudity and occasiona

|
David Strassman has big news on his 2010 New Zealand tour - it's "Ted E's Farewell Tour". Tragically the much adored Ted E Bare is announcing his show biz retirement. The pressure, the publicity, the paparazzi, the tabloids! And - most of all - Chuck Wood! It's finally too much for one shy bear to handle. Ted E's decided to spend more time with his family. But what family? Where will he go? As hilarious as ever, the show is a star-studded tribute to Ted E Bare's greatest showbiz moments. And it shares the pain of his struggle, trying to understand where he belongs in the world. Of course, Ted E Bare's departure leaves a huge hole to fill. Who could fill Ted E's shoes? Strassman's journey of discovery uncovers some new and extraordinary characters, desperate to join the show. Meanwhile the existing characters battle to get more of the show. The evilly sarcastic Chuck Wood, the grumpy and cantankerous Grandpa Fred, attention-seeking A.N.G.E.L. and intergalactic Kevin enter a battleground. This performance is rated MA. Children 12 to 15 years must be accompanied by parents or guardian. No one under 12 years admitted. Adult $54.90 Child/Senior (65+)/Student (with ID)/Group 10+ $49.90.
