Regent on Broadway presents the band DRAGON on Friday, 10 February at 8:00pm. Some muse that rock icons Dragon grew up with the Australian music scene and others affirm that it was Dragon that helped the scene grow up. Whatever the case, with hits flowing before Cold Chisel left the rehearsal room, before Icehouse had studied for their algebra finals, and before Australian Crawl had learnt to, Dragon had the nation captivated with; April Sun in Cuba, Are You Old enough?, Get That Jive, Still In Love With You and more. The kings of the pub scene and emperors of excess, the bands live show was unsurpassed, and their rock n roll lifestyle will go down in music industry folklore for generations to come. Tickets are $57.50 and can be purchased by visiting http://www.ticketdirect.co.nz/Event/Details/48034.

The AIR FORCE BAND will play in concert on Tuesday, 14 February 7:00pm. Adult tickets are $15.00; Children (1-17 Years) are $5.00; Seniors (65+ With ID) are $14.00; Students are. Visit http://www.ticketdirect.co.nz/Event/Details/47929 to purchase tickets.

When the Regent Theatre opened on 4 July 1930 it was described as “The Theatre Beautiful”, and that it was creating “an entirely new standard of entertainment.” With the re-opening as the Regent on Broadway in 1 May1998 that description could still stand. The 1600 seat theatre was hailed as one of the country's top six movie theatres in the early 1960's. It was one of the largest built in New Zealand and became a landmark in the city as well as attracting national attention. Today, as a 1393 seat venue, the Regent on Broadway can still claim to be one of New Zealand’s finest performing arts facilities, indeed one of the top four in the country.
