She didnāt just find her voice ā she unleashed it! š„
Initially developed with Auckland Pride, What Happened to Mary-Anne? returns for its encore season at Te Pou Theatre as part of their KÅanga Festival, with the incredible Brady Peeti ā one of Aotearoaās most prolific trans voices and a standout from TransGenerations ā leading the charge.
This powerful, music-fuelled journey dives into the life of Mary-Anne ā the youngest in the whÄnau, a caregiver, and a trans woman trying to keep it all together. But when expectations pile high and identity starts to blur, something has to give.
Set in a gritty dive bar šø and backed by a live soundtrack of irresistible 80s pop-rock anthems, Mary-Anneās world explodes with colour, chaos, and unexpected clarity. Itās raw, funny, and deeply human ā inviting you to laugh, cry, and maybe even dance as she fights to rediscover who she really is beneath it all.
