Every now and then a play comes along that leaves you feeling like you’ve just witnessed something important, but you’re not sure what.

This may be one of the first Australian musicals that I’ve really, genuinely enjoyed. Americans can get away with the absurd cheesiness that tends to go along with the genre, but it usually seems completely anachronistic in Australian theatre.

Helios | Wright & Grainger
Helios begins with the ancient Greek myth of Phaeton and gently pulls it into something recognisably human: school buses, mixtapes, teenage dares, grief, fathers, first kisses and one bright gold car.

Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.
The Sapphires | Canberra Theatre Centre and Queensland Theatre Company
There is a reason The Sapphires has become one of Australia's most beloved musicals.
