World of WearableArt

Awards Night: Friday 22 September 2023, 7.30pm

A preview is a full run of the show in costume, from beginning to end. In theory the director can stop the performance at any time to make changes but it very rarely happens. Our two previews are your chance to see the show before everyone else. It’s great for the budget conscious but good to be aware that competition winners are not announced in these performances.

Based on previous shows, the performance will be approximately 1hr 45mins. There is no intermission.  

The Awards Night show (Friday 22 September 2023) includes an awards ceremony which runs for an additional 40 minutes (approximately). On all performances following Awards Night (from Saturday 23 September onwards) there will be a short AV presentation of the awards results after the performance which will take approximately 15 minutes.

We suggest you arrive up to an hour before the show start time to explore what is on offer at the WOW HUB and to enjoy the pre-show. However, we ask you to be seated 30 minutes before show start time.

If you have purchased a WOW VIP Table or a Stageside Experience you will have different arrival times. Please check your ticket for advice on what time to arrive by, or refer to your pre-show email.

We recommend our Partner hotels, QT Wellington. For further options we suggest you visit WellingtonNZ.com.

There is a car park below the TSB Arena, operated by Wilson Parking. Charges apply. This car park can get very busy, so please allow yourself enough time to find parking elsewhere. If travelling by taxi, we recommend Wellington Combined Taxis - 04 384 4444.

The use of videos, cameras, tape recorders and cell phones is prohibited during the show. We do however provide opportunities pre-show in the WOW HUB and with pre-show entertainment to capture your WOW experience. 

Please be considerate of audience members and turn your cell phone off before the show starts.

For medical conditions that may affect where you are seated, please contact us directly. There is wheelchair and easy-access seating available.

Email us or call 0800 496 974.

20 September to 8 October 2023.

While the shows content is suitable for children, we do ask that you consider a few things before making the decision:

• We do not offer children ticket prices.
• The show goes for approx. 100min with no interval.
• There are a lot of flashy lights and loud music.

The show will take place at the TSB Arena, Queens Wharf, Wellington, New Zealand.
