Maybe it's because Reginald D Hunter wants to be known as a man who needs no introduction that he took to the stage with the stealth of a ninja while the lights were still down.

Kraken looks simple in its make-up, but it packs a mighty punch. One man, one stage, three pairs of underpants. And lycra. Never underestimate lycra.

Borensztajn has warmth and charm, and she’s a confident and very likeable presence on stage. More than anything she is professional; the show is well-paced and masterful yet is delivered with heart.

Much of the strength in this production lies with how vividly the characters and settings are performed by Youngman, so much so that you nearly forget there’s only one actor on stage.

What McDonald has created is a finely tuned performance where each intricate movement, tone and mannerism is explored and perfected.

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.
