About the Show

This musical piece weaves together four stores full of heart and revelation that unfold the fabric of Maori musical culture, its genealogy and evolution.

From the show:

With signature style and humour the award-winning MMQ weaves together four stores full of heart and revelation that unfold the fabric of Maori musical culture, its genealogy and evolution.

Layering an earnest and uniquely Kiwi narrative to their soaring harmonies and classic quirky charm, the award winning Modern Maori Quartet invite you to meet Koro, Big Bro, uncle and Bub, and experience their take on what it really means to be Maori in this day and age.

Delightful, Quirky, Refreshing, Great singing, Entertaining

See it if you like to sit back and enjoy lively music performed with a little comedy and some story that exposes you to a different culture.

Don't see it if if you are looking for a play, though some story is interwoven, this is a musical performance by a talented group.

Slow, Disappointing, Cliched, Awkward script, Great singing

See it if you enjoy male singing groups. The vocals are fabulous.

Don't see it if you're looking for a theatrical event. This is really a concert. Although some of the songs are not in English there's not much Maori to it.
