That Bloody Woman


THAT BLOODY WOMAN – The Kickass Kiwi Rock Musical is Back!

From a wild night in a Christchurch tent to selling out theatres across the country, THAT BLOODY WOMAN is the loud, proud, electric musical Aotearoa NZ didn’t know it needed. Think Hamilton meets Joan Jett, with a heavy dose of badass suffragette energy.

It’s a rock gig. It’s a history lesson. It’s a punk-fuelled party.
And it’s all about Kate Sheppard – yep, that bloody woman on your ten-dollar note – who flipped the script and led the charge for women's right to vote.

Expect big riffs, bold opinions, audience shout-outs, and some seriously juicy roles for women (but don’t worry lads, there’s room for you too).

This is Kate’s with guitars turned up to 11:

  • 30,000 signatures.

  • One world-first.

  • Zero apologies.

So, grab your mates, lace up your Docs, and get ready for a riotous night where corsets clash with punk and history gets loud.
