The musical Rock and Roll Suicide will go on tour in the South Island next year.
The Queenstown show's co-producer, writer and director, Margaret O'Hanlon, said she planned to take the 90-minute musical on a six-stop tour to Dunedin, Christchurch, Invercargill, Gore, Wanaka and Queenstown.
"We've had tremendous feedback and response from down south, and we plan to finish with a show back in Queenstown," she said.
Initial plans to take the show to Auckland have been deferred, pending an application for a North Island regional licence.
"We would like to visit Auckland and Wellington as well but I would say it would have to be planned for 2012," she said.
Mrs O'Hanlon said having time to prepare for North Island performances would be "helpful" because the waiting list at performance theatres such as those in Wellington could often be more than a year long.
The musical is based on the music of rock star David Bowie, who has been sent a DVD, as he requested, of the show.
Mrs O'Hanlon said footage from the production was compiled from the three nights of performance at Arrowtown's Athenaeum Hall.
She is "intrigued" to find out what Bowie thinks of the production, and a copy of the script was sent to New York with the "no-fluff" final-cut DVD.
Since the success of the musical, Mrs O'Hanlon has contacted the Australasian Performing Right Association (Apra) to secure the copyright on Bowie songs and to obtain a regional performance licence.
"I received a letter on Tuesday morning to say everything was clear ... It was a relief," she said.
