If you were to close your eyes, you’d swear that the diva herself was belting out her award winning songs for her Melbourne fans in attendance.

The emotionally laden Madama Butterfly captivated the audience on the night I attended. It is an absolutely beautiful production to watch and listen to, and remarkably, it is easily enjoyed by a novice to the artform, as well as the seasoned opera goers.

Annie Baker is that rare thing; a playwright who can make the mundane simultaneously luminous and gut-wrenching.

Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena was packed to its capacity with adoring Ricky Martin fans, when Mr Livin’ La Vida Loca himself was in town for just one night, shaking his bon-bon and spreading his message of love, tolerance and world peace.

Even if you don’t recognize Meghan by name, unless you’ve been stranded on a deserted island during the last eight months, it is impossible to say the same of her pop phenomenon, All About That Bass.

This is a delightful and adorable production, the set is gorgeous, and the kind of everywhere-but-nowhere-in-particular set design where the Forest of Arden becomes a hanging garden of colourful blooms, by Michael Hankin is enchanting.

The Book of Mormon
It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.
My Brilliant Career | Melbourne Theatre Company
Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.
Cluedo The Play
Cluedo is an energetically performed ensemble farce that either toyed with surprising us, or missed opportunities to do so.
Afterglow | Midnight Theatricals
However earnest and inarguably lovely it is to look at, the pedestrian sexual indulgence and relationship traumas of New York 'A' gays penned 9 years ago doesn't feel particularly urgent.
Piper's Playhouse | Crown Entertainment
There’s an endless fascination for the underground nightlife of prohibition-era America or turn-of-the-century Europe.
Now playing Melbourne
Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.
It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.
