Description The Titanics were perhaps the greatest Maori show band to have almost existed - so what sunk them? In this piece of musical theatre we travel from the present day to the golden ge of the showband era to find out what really happened. Aroha Devine, daughter of The Titanics' band manager and one of the lead singers, takes it upon herself to discover hy The Titanics failed to reach the peaks they seemed destined to conquer. When all the band members are united the truth is revealed - and The Titanics play one more time.
