Rouge was previously awarded a Variety Artists Club of New Zealand scroll of honour in recognition of her contribution as a producer and artistic director of the Menagerie. “I would love to carry on in the Opera House, it s an incredible venue, and the perfect place to showcase our diverse range of entertainment. However, unfortunately it s become clear that it s unsustainable for me to continue with this show,” she said.

The final performance will include musical talents, drag, circus, magic, dance and Māori performing arts. Starting off in Fringe Bar, Rouge wanted to provide a platform to bring the work to a larger audience in a more grand setting. The vision was to create a show that could grow into the Kiwi equivalent to the Royal Variety Performance, she said.
