CREATIVE TEAM
The Pāua Ballads is a 10 person collection of Pōneke's finest musical improvisers.
The troupe debuted their sold out hit The Musical: The Musical at NZ Improv Fest 2020 (nominated for Most Joyous Moment). The troupe has since performed at NZ Fringe, BATS' Christmas season with their raucous "Jingle Elves: The Musical!" and they can't wait to return as a cohort of high schoolers after a two year hiatus!
