 Jason Alexander’s Comedy SpectacularAfter previous sell out seasons Australia wide, seven-time Emmy nominee, Jason Alexander comes to Wellington for the very first time to host a special gala night of comedy accompanied by special guest comedians.
Nine seasons as hapless shlep George Costanza on NBC’s ‘Seinfeld’ was a high point in a career on stage, screen and television. For his portrayal of George, Alexander earned six Emmy and four Golden Globe nominations, an American Television Award and two American Comedy Awards for ‘Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series’. The Screen Actors Guild went one step higher and knighted him ‘Best Actor in a Comedy Series’, despite his role as a supporting actor.
Previous performances have sold out quickly so get in fast to join this comedic superstar as he hosts an evening of hilarious stand-up, improvisational comedy and a Seinfeld Q&A!

 Yayoi Kusama: "Mirrored Years" at the Wellington City Gallery
City Gallery Wellington
will celebrate the launch of its new Building Development with a solo
exhibition of the extraordinary work of Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama. Yayoi Kusama: Mirrored Years
presents seminal works from the 1960s and 1970s alongside more recent
work. Kusama is renowned for her lifelong interest in visual perception
and sensory experiences, her fixation with repetitive patterns and
forms, her iconic use of dots and her dizzying installations. Mixing Op
Art, Pop Art and sculptural practice, her all-enveloping
room-installations, mirrored to infinity, are hallucinatory,
surrealistic, and utterly unlike anything else you will experience in
the world of art.

AC/DC the greatest rock and roll band on the planet, who have sold over 200 million records worldwide, return to New Zealand in January 2010 as part of the Black Ice World Tour.
It will be without any question the most spectacular rock show ever staged in this country featuring one of the largest stage productions ever seen.
Fans are urged to be quick to buy tickets. When tickets went on sale in Australia recently, they smashed all previous records. It became the fast selling tour in Australian history. In Melbourne, AC/DC hit fever pitch where fans queued overnight then snapped up 110,000 tickets in 45 minutes. Nationwide across Australia, more than half a million tickets were sold in 3 hours.
AC/DC will blast their way through New Zealand with one of the largest stage productions ever seen. The production will be moved around the country by 48 semi-trailers of equipment transported to the stadium by train. It will have more than 120 crew, and about another 380 people employed on the night.
