1 - 2 November 2025 - 1 place now available
Cirque du Soleil returns to Auckland with its most unique production CORTEO, set to charm audiences for the very first time.
It is a joyous procession, a festive parade imagined by a clown. The show brings together the passion of the artist with the grace and power of the acrobat to plunge the audience into a theatrical world of fun, comedy and spontaneity situated in a mysterious space between heaven and earth.
The clown pictures his own funeral taking place in a carnival atmosphere, watched over by quietly caring angels. Juxtaposing the large with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic and the magic of perfection with the charm of imperfection, the show highlights the strength and fragility of the clown, as well as his wisdom and kindness, to illustrate the portion of humanity that is within each of us. The music turns lyrical and playful carrying Corteo through a timeless celebration in which illusion teases reality.

What if Juliet’s famous ending was really just her beginning?
Join us in Wellington for the GREAT show

This bold reimagining asks the question: what comes after "happily ever after"? The result is a fabulous, feel-good journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and second chances, as Juliet takes control of her story and sets off on an unforgettable adventure to find herself—and maybe even a new kind of love—on her own terms.
& Juliet explodes onto the stage with a playlist of pop bangers you know and love, from mega-hit songwriter/producer Max Martin. Featuring chart-toppers like “Since U Been Gone,” “Roar,” “Baby One More Time,” “Larger Than Life,” “That’s The Way It Is,” and “Can’t Stop the Feeling!”, the show pulses with energy, heart, and non-stop fun.
It’s a joyful, genre-defying romantic comedy packed with laughs, outrageous performances, and a message that resonates for every generation. With dazzling costumes, electrifying choreography, and a modern retelling of Shakespeare’s classic through a fiercely independent lens, & Juliet is more than just a musical—it’s a celebration of rewriting your own narrative.
