Steve Wrigley - Kevin: The Musical

The small New Zealand town of Kevin is all a flutter with the prospect of getting its first traffic light. But what sort of scandal and intrigue lies behind the placid exterior of this sleepy town? This is a quintessentially New Zealand story which plays on our nostalgic view of small towns throughout the country.

Steve Wrigley stars in this one-man all-singing all-dancing all-mania musical spectacular. And we don’t use the word spectacular lightly. With a full set and score written by the incomparable Mark Dennison, this will be the definition of a Kiwi battler rising up against the odds to make this masterpiece.

The show has been assisted by the NZ Comedy Trust’s Creative Comedy Initiative, a programme intended to assist works which break the mould and push the boundaries. This has taken the form of financial assistance and mentoring.

Steve himself has been planning Kevin: The Musical in his manic head for a long time now and he is so excited to see this dream come to fruition. This show is a new direction after his series of three Comedy Festival shows which focused on stories from his life and his development through the years. The first of these, First Time, won Steve the Billy T Award and the second and third and fourth saw him nominated for the prestigious Fred Award for comedic excellence.

Friends, colleagues and those who have seen Steve perform either live or on his many TV appearances for Comedy Galas to 7Days, will attest to his absolute enthusiasm and energy he brings to his critically acclaimed performances;

“Wrigley is such a superb story teller that you assume he must have spent weeks meticulously planning every sentence of his routine.” – Satellite

Kevin: The Musical will without doubt go down as one of his most impressive and funniest to date.
