Pulling together some of the capital city's favourite musicians and commanding the four-string like you've never heard it, the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra's live show features comic repartee, singalong favourites, stunning dress sense and sparkling harmonies.Having already jammed with the likes of Jordan Luck, Don McGlashan, Annie Crummer, Camp Mother, Sigourney Weaver's hubby and Shortland Street's Dr Potts, audiences should expect surprise guests from across the pop spectrum along with some classic uke gags and legendary licks in this cabaret spectacular.

Every gig has been a sell out, so get in quick! Cabaret seating at the MonteCristo Room is limited and there's a discount for bookings of 10, so secure a table for you and your 9 friends now by calling 0800 TICKETEK (0800 842 5385) or their website http://www.ticketek.co.nz.
