Las Vegas show-maker Brian Burke has a reputation for creating incredible large-scale stage productions. Among his credits are America’s Got Talent, American Idol, Little Big Shots, and he was the artistic director for Celine Dion’s Las Vegas residency, A New Day.

Now Burke is bringing his magic to our very own World of WearableArt, having signed on as the show’s creative director for the next three years. His vision is to build upon the competition’s success and take it to the global market — a long way from the rain-soaked marquee in rural Nelson where it started in 1987.

World of WearableArt runs between September 29 and October 16 at the TSB Arena in Wellington. Head over here for more information.
