Fly My Pretties will also be working with the “Heart Strings” project. Heart Strings have created seven guitars crafted from the timber of historic and iconic Christchurch buildings devastated by the recent earthquakes.

To support Heartstrings, Fly My Pretties will be adopting “The Epicentre Guitar”. The guitar visually references the 7.1 earthquake’s epicentre, includes a selection of historic timbers and pays a special homage to the emergency services for their tireless effort in response to the earthquakes. Fly My Pretties will be incorporating The Epicentre Guitar into the upcoming tour, playing it onstage and also including it within the exhibition.

Phoenix Drinks, Kiwi FM and Loop are proud to announce that New Zealand's most loved musical collective are set to take flight once again. Having not ventured out since early 2009, Fly My Pretties are back with a re-imagined show, new cast and wealth of new songs.

The fresh concept will see the 16-strong cast collaborate with celebrated contemporary visual artist, Hayley King (Flox). Audiences can expect a completely new production, from re-imagined costumes, to unique boundary-pushing visuals.

In Act I, Flox will interpret each song from the new album into iconic images, which will be uniquely brought to life both during the performance and as an exhibition of original limited edition prints in the theatre foyers.

In Act II, Fly My Pretties will deliver a set filled with a range of their classics plus a few surprises from Live at Bats, The Return Of… and A Story.
