The creator of Queen of the Whole Universe is promising the 10th and final show in the current format will see the drag pageant "go out with a bang" in a finale at Auckland's ASB Theatre next July. Queen of the Whole Universe was to end with a 'Mega' show during the Rugby World Cup this year, but event producer Jonathan Smith says the team has decided that with so many events scheduled around the rugby tournament it was decided to delay the biggest and last show till next year. "July 2012 was the only date suitable as the Aotea Centre is undergoing a major refurbishment which meant availability was limited," he says. Smith says QWU Mega will deliver many new surprises and a few highlights from previous years that appealed to the enthusiastic audience. "We are endeavouring to include all cast and crew that have been involved with the show in some way since we first started in September 2004. We already have many cast returning from overseas to be part of the final show." QUEEN OF THE WHOLE UNIVERSE MEGA plays: Saturday 21st July 2012, 8pm ASB Theatre, Aotea Centre, THE EDGE. Auckland Tickets: On sale early 2012
