A Very Jewish Christmas Carol | Melbourne Theatre Company

Just like the source material, this is a morality tale, a fantasy to reflect dysfunction, rectify disappointment and repair disillusion but legacy and intergenerational grief are tenacious task masters.

Most read reviews

• Home Country + The One | Little Cup Theatre Productions

  

  Two new works presented as a double feature provide somewhat of a highlight in the current Sydney Fringe Festival.

• Miss Saigon | Opera Australia

  

  Entirely sung through, this is a musical with a proper and original score that still feels remarkably fresh and sits in staggering contrast to the slot machine pay outs of a Jukebox musical.

• Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill | Belvoir

  

  From the end of her first song, summoning the spirit of Holiday, spotlit and with exquisite poise, dramatic pause and phenomenal phrasing, there was a palpable feeling of the audience restraining a desire to leap to their feet in rapturous applause.

• Bark of Millions | Taylor Mac

  

  There are some stunning moments of yearning, some haunting harmony, some bold and brassy vaudeville, and all anchored in the language of protest and defiance.

• A Very Jewish Christmas Carol | Melbourne Theatre Company

  

  Just like the source material, this is a morality tale, a fantasy to reflect dysfunction, rectify disappointment and repair disillusion but legacy and intergenerational grief are tenacious task masters.
