Following a 40-date sold-out tour of the United Kingdom and a residency in London's West End, Grumpy Old Women are running rampant around New Zealand and head to Arrowtown this month.

The all-Kiwi cast of film and television leading ladies Geraldine Brophy, Pinky Agnew and Lyndee-Jane Rutherford will perform live on stage at the Arrowtown Athenaeum Hall on Thursday, March 25.

Director David McPhail urged the men of New Zealand to take their own "grumpy women" out for an evening of fun.

Promotor Ben McDonald said Grumpy Old Women had had thousands of women filling theatres across the world - and left hundreds of men with no idea what they were going to have for dinner.

• The remaining 50 tickets, available on the door or from Ticketdirect, cost $59.90 for adults, $45.90 children/students and $55.90 for groups of eight or more, plus booking fees. Doors open at 6.30pm and the show starts at 7.30pm.

HOT TIP: Opshop

Platinum-selling New Zealand band Opshop will headline at the closing of next month's Southland Uni Games.

Opshop will perform at Stadium Southland on Friday, April 16, at the end of three days of tertiary sporting competition spread across Southland.

"It's been way too long since Opshop last played in Invercargill," frontman Jason Kerrison said in a statement.

"Last time we were there we wrote a song about Invers called The City of Water and Light. This time it's going to be charging as we'll be playing that song, songs from our previous two records and we'll also take the opportunity to reveal some of the new music off our soon-to-be-released third studio album."Invercargill dub reggae soul seven-piece Rhythmonyx support.

Tickets are available from Stadium Southland, through Ticket Direct. Public early bird sales are $25 until March 31, then go up to $35 afterwards; $25 for students with ID. Doors open at 8pm.
