In December 1999, Stageworks staged the largest theme dinner ever produced in North Queensland at the award winning Cairns Convention Centre, when the multi-million dollar 'Silverstar' Cruise ship visited Cairns before embarking on a millennium world cruise. The spectacular rainforest theme required precision rigging as over 30 fully grown palm trees were placed in the great hall. The entire lobby area and great hall was totally transformed, requiring 200 camouflage nets, 3 waterfalls, over 1500 plants and vines, sound and spectacular lighting to complete this unique setting. Engelburt Humperdink and his band was one of the surprises for the evening, as the entertainment was revealed behind a rainforest wall, complete with pyrotechnic display. With a performance from internationally acclaimed Tjapukai Dance Theatre and the opportunity to 'touch and feel' native Australian animals, guests enjoyed a night of tranquillity within this exclusively designed fairytale.
