What's On

Reuben Kaye - enGORGEd
 

Fast, on the edge and brutally funny, multi-award-winning Australian comedian, singer, and writer, Reuben Kaye makes his grand Melbourne Recital Centre debut with the Victorian premiere of enGORGEd.

Taking over the Elisabeth Murdoch Hall with an 18-piece orchestra in his flashiest, funniest, and most fearless endeavour yet, Reuben is bigger and better than ever (it's in the title). We know because he made us write it down.

Musical Direction and Arrangements by Shanon D Whitelock. Original work commissioned by Adelaide Cabaret Festival.

'Good luck looking anywhere else when Kaye is on stage.' - The Guardian

'★★★★★ Reuben Kaye, compère extraordinaire, one of the brightest lights on the cabaret scene and a man never knowingly underdressed. Reuben Kaye is the antidote we need.' - Broadway World

    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
  • Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
