BATS, WE HAVE A SITUATION!
Kia ora Scoop,
The situation is this: Apollo 13: Mission Control opened this weekend and the word on the street is that the show is out
of this world! There are stranded Astronauts out in space that need your help to bring them back home. It was a mission
trying to get the audience out of the theatre after the show. They just loved it and wanted more.
Opening night was full of retro seventies gears. I'm talking guys with flares, floral shirts and gals with printed
skirts and other early seventies outfits. It was pretty darn sexy.
A bunch of roses turned up on opening night from a sender wishing to be anonymous, apparently in the actual mission
control someone sent a bunch of roses to the Houston Base and only revealed their identity at the end of the mission.
The guessing game has begun to try and figure out who the mysterious sender could be...
Listen to the awesome interview
