The 1956 20th Century Fox CinemaScope musical “The Best Things in Life Are Free” Starring Gordon MacRae, Dan Dailey, Ernest Borgnine & Sheree North premiered at the Civic Theatre Auckland commencing middle December 1956. The building is lit up in a spectacular fashion for the occasion

This time-frame closely followed the major re-engineering of The Civic’s proscenium and projection setup, which was upgraded to accommodate in a grand-scale the CinemaScope big-screen presentation, with the added contribution of 4 track magnetic stereophonic sound.
