OPINION
For a night of the old razzle dazzle there s no better place in town to be than the Thurston Performing Arts Centre at John Paul College.
The recently-opened facility, revolving stage included, has been well and truly christened with the staging of that great 1920s jazz age musical Chicago.
This may be the high school edition but jolly gosh have these hugely talented students nailed a show so inherently adult? Yes and yes again.

The standing opening night ovation the large cast received is proof positive of that.

Ka maumahara tonu tātau ki a rātau. We will remember them.
Last year saw a very different way of commemorating Anzac Day with New Zealanders in lockdown due to Covid-19.
This year, the installation of the Rotorua District Field of Remembrance on April 16 marks the start of public Anzac commemorations in the district.
The field of crosses will be installed at the Cenotaph in Government for the last time.
