This year’s show is called Mayhem at the Museum and the audience quickly catch on to the plot, where a bossy, unscrupulous museum director is out to make big money on the black market by selling off exhibits, dinosaur bones, etc. However, a very astute accountant is on to him, together with the basement exhibits who come to life and entertain us along the way. Stunning backdrops with astute lighting, continuous costume changes (definitely no mayhem backstage), disciplined choreography and strong singing highlight every scene. The Otago Gang Show opens this evening, runs until Saturday and is great family entertainment.
