This star-studded show is an unmissable night out and a rollicking roller coaster ride of Winehouse wonder. Exploding with her distinctive sound and capturing the spirit of this musically magnificent songstress, Back to Black is an experience so addictive they might try to make you go to rehab.
Her iconic hits are rediscovered by a supergroup of New Zealand musicians, featuring Vanessa Stacey, Lisa Tomlins, Johnny Lawrence and New Plymouth’s very own celebrated composer and pianist, Daniel Hayles.
Together they traverse her sizzling songbook and journey through her extraordinary Grammy-award-winning albums Frank and Back to Black.
The result is a night that harks back to the heyday of jazz, reaches into pop and immerses audiences in a wild adventure worthy of the Winehouse name.

Vanessa Stacey (Chocolate Box Deluxe, Aretha with The APO)
Lisa Tomlins (L.A.B, Rhombus, Lord Echo)
