The Full Monty Sunday Matinee Performance

On behalf of the Napier Operatic Society, I wish to advise that today’s matinee performance (Sunday, 12 April) of The Full Monty has been cancelled.

With the cyclone now moving across the country, the projected timing of the storm's arrival coincides directly with our matinee. After reviewing the latest Civil Defence advisories, we have made the difficult decision to prioritise the safety of our cast, crew, and patrons. We believe it is essential to ensure no one is required to travel during the height of the weather event.

As a society, we are experienced in navigating season disruptions, and we are already working on contingency plans.

Ticket Holders & Next Steps:

Rescheduling: We are currently looking at options to postpone this performance.

Hold onto your tickets: Our ticketing team will be in contact with all Sunday matinee ticket holders as soon as possible regarding the next steps for rescheduling or refunds.

Future Shows: At this stage, all other performances in the season remain unaffected.

We are incredibly disappointed to miss today's show, but the safety of our community must come first. Please stay safe, look after one another, and follow all local authority guidance.

Full Monty Cyclone Vaianu Update - 4pm Saturday 11th April

We are closely monitoring the local conditions and official advice regarding Cyclone Vaianu.

Tonight's show is going ahead as planned (Saturday 11th April).

At this stage, we still intend to proceed with tomorrow’s matinee performance of The Full Monty. However, the safety of our patrons, cast, and crew is our absolute priority. We will provide a further update later tonight, with a final decision made at approximately 9:00 AM tomorrow.

Given the logistical complexity of a production involving over 80 people, rescheduling is difficult. While we will endeavour to find a new date if the matinee is cancelled, we appreciate your patience as we navigate these challenges.

If the Sunday performance is cancelled or rescheduled, iticket will be in touch with ticket holders directly.

Please monitor our page for the latest news.

Please take care and look out for one another. Thank you for your ongoing support of the Napier Operatic Society.
