STARRY EYED QUEENSTOWN
1998-2007 NIMA ENTERTAINMENT ran an event in Queenstown dubbed by TV3 as "Queenstown's most popular event", locally known as STARRY EYED. Starry Eyed, Directed by Margaret O'Hanlon, featured the upscale presentation of the very popular theme of performers emulating iconic music stars. In addition to authentic costume designs, international make-up artists (MAC International) and fully choreographed live performances, we featured celebrity hosts, most notable of whom were The Humour Beasts (Taika Waititi and Jermaine Clement), Raybon Kan, Cori Gonzales-Macuer, Emma Lange and Shaun Vining.
Here are archives from some of the memorable moments from those extremely popular events. If you are interested in tribute style entertainment, please talk to us.
