She didnât just find her voice â she unleashed it! ð¥
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 â one of Aotearoaâs most prolific trans voices and a standout from TransGenerations â leading the charge.
This powerful, music-fuelled journey dives into the life of Mary-Anne â 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 ðž and backed by a live soundtrack of irresistible 80s pop-rock anthems, Mary-Anneâs world explodes with colour, chaos, and unexpected clarity. Itâs raw, funny, and deeply human â inviting you to laugh, cry, and maybe even dance as she fights to rediscover who she really is beneath it all.
