The performers at Auckland's St James Theatre include singers Ray Columbus (in That's Country mode), Howard Morrison and John Rowles, and (late in clip three) Lynn of Tawa (Ginette McDonald). Limbs and the Royal New Zealand Ballet dance; Billy T James and McPhail and Gadsby provide pre-PC gags. After the all-singing all-dancing finale, the entertainers line get to meet the royals. In this piece, Michèle A'Court recalls the night Lynn of Tawa talked tiaras with the Queen.
