Experience Netflix's The Crown as never seen before. All 5 seasons, all characters, all costumes, a touch of cum, more wigs than Nicole Kidman's closet, and you have - 'She's Crowning', the satire spectacular the Royal Family do not want you to see.

Two of theatre's newest stars take you behind the beaded curtain of Buckingham Palace and reveal the filthy underbelly which lies beneath the monarchy. Think Princess Diaries meets Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift. It is an all star all royal line-up that will have you chanting "God slay the Queen"

It's glittering guillotine has delighted audiences in its native Aotearoa, now 'She's Crowning' makes its trans-Tasman debut.
