This is, quite frankly, one of the best shows that I have seen all year.
The show starts with the most spectacular medley of 90s television theme songs that you are ever likely to hear. It ends with a song that gets you right in the feels, about all those things that 90s television promised us all about life as adults, which never really turned out to be true… and in the middle is a series of original songs, pop-quizzes and hilarious banter (in and out of character).
We have all had that moment with a friend where someone says “God we’re funny, we should have our own show”… except that this is actually a show worth watching.
Lauren Edwards and Jude Perl are fantastic actresses, amazing musicians and really witty comedians. Although they may seem perfect, they even put each on the spot with impromptu quote challenges and accent hiccoughs, which only serves to make them more endearing.
A 90s Sitcom Special runs until the end of the week. I wouldn’t advise missing it. However, if you do, Jude Perl (50% of this talented due) is rumoured to have a show of her own featuring at The Butterfly club in the coming week.

GRIMM | Shake & Stir Theatre Co
Spells, rules and the fourth wall are consistently broken in this chaotic retelling of some of the Grimm Brother’s most famous fairy tales.
SIX the Musical
After a series of shows that are repurposing IP to capitalise on millennial nostalgia without much heart, SIX the Musical has returned to show everyone how compelling original content can be.
The Memory Mirror | G Luck Productions
This work regularly feels like a short story that has not been adequately shaped into a play
An Evening Without Kate Bush
Young efficiently managed various costume changes to transport us to different eras of the Bush legacy. The vocals are consistently of a high-quality, even through the demands of some very physical dancing to a backing track.
Now playing Melbourne
The show is aiming for silliness, and its successful realisation here is certainly a nice change of pace from the worries of the modern world.
