One of the defining features of Wilde’s plays is their endlessly quotable dialogue, and the cast clearly relish their lines.

Of the four acts and emcee there were enough laughs to feed the hungry crowd, but some courses were tastier than others.

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.

Sheltering | Bangarra
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.
Middle Raged | Women with Pockets and Andrew Kay & Associates
Beautiful voices across the board, a lovely ease with one another, and enough self-awareness to never let the comedy become caricature.
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.
Steel Magnolias | Neil Gooding Productions and Woodward Productions
About ten minutes in I realised I hadn't thought about the film once. I'd assumed I'd spend the whole night comparing the two, but I just ... didn't.
