What’s More Choice than Short+Sweet?

What’s More Choice than Short+Sweet?

Short+Sweet in association with Development Programmes at THE EDGE presents

Short+Sweet Song

Tuesday 11 - Saturday 15 June and Sunday 30 June

Herald Theatre, Aotea Centre

To celebrate our fourth year of Short+Sweet we’ve got something new for you. We’re not only bringing back Short+Sweet Dance and Short+Sweet Theatre but we’re premiering our new favourite, Short+Sweet Song – it’s musical theatre time!

Come join us for a week of fast and furious, bite sized performances featuring some of Auckland's best singers, musicians and composers as they present punchy musicals in just ten minutes. Because everything is better with a Soundtrack!

In a night that mashes up rock, musicals, pop, indie and event opera it's a night at the theatre where you never know what's going to happen next and you get to vote for your favourite performance at the end of the night. 

‘It’s exciting; it’s a great night out for the audience and it’s the perfect taster for someone who might never have been to musical theatre before. It’s only ever 10 minutes to the next piece so if you don’t like that one you don’t have to wait long until the next one starts!’ Says Sums Selvarajan, Festival Producer.

Each group in Short+Sweet Song perform from Tuesday – Saturday and have to wow the audiences and judges, as they decide who makes it through to the Gala Final.

On the final Sunday the best of the season are performed one last time. The judges choose their best production, playwright, director and actors and the people’s choice award for the whole season is also announced.

‘The audience play a huge part in picking the winner. It’s very exciting for everyone and it’s going to be a fantastic week’ says Jonathan ‘So make sure you are there to cast your vote’.

If you prefer watching the 100 metre sprint to the full marathon, love the drama of Project Runway, the pressure of Master Chef, and the talent of X Factor get down to Short+Sweet.

Funny, moving, absurd, touching and now musical, you can expect the unexpected with Short+Sweet — so are you in, or are you out? It opens tonight!
