Rap - Unzel

On the 9^th of June 2014 NZ Playhouse came to present a show to Te Anau School called Rap-Unzel.  This was the same company who performed The Big Sad Wolf last year.  It followed the story of Rapunzel but they used New Zealand’s got talent and turned it into Far Far Aways got talent to make it fun. There were three 21 year olds that performed for us 2 boys and 1 girl. They had to audition to get the part they wanted. Simon Cow was one of the character’s names.  We think he was the funniest.
