The annual competition, which pairs 12 local celebrities with accomplished singers for duets, is back for another year with three big nights of entertainment at Kildare Catholic College Hall, starting April 24.
This year, organiser Garry Salvestro said audience members would be blown away by the talent being showcased, with the secret to the fund-raiser's success being the level of professionalism shown by the talent.
"The audience gets a first rate show which is theatrical and full of humour," Mr Salvestro said.
Well-known residents including WIN News journalist Tanya Dendrinos, boxer Joe Williams and current Miss Wagga Jane Morton will all be involved, while Riverina Bluebell, The Leisure Company and Kurrajong Waratah are a few of the charities being supported.
Last year, the show raked in $140,000 for local charities.
It was also nominated for nine awards at the ActewAGL Canberra Area Theatre Awards, winning three, including best cabaret production.
"The whole three nights are a lot of fun," Mr Salvestro said.
Tickets for Wagga Takes Two are $52.80 (booking fee inclusive) and are available from the Civic Theatre booking office on 6926 9688.
