The spirit of Noel Coward lives on in the eclectic mix of theatrical styles. His dialogue and songs are adhered to faithfully, with the addition of extra music written to fit the era.

Johnny and Julia are your typical young, co-habitating couple. They deal with their phones before they deal with each other. They have made the almost-mandatory shift from couscous to quinoa. And they are perfectly at ease discussing Julia’s bowel movements over dinner.

Too funny. Eddie Perfect's satire The Beast storms to the edge of bad taste then hurls itself over it.

There's roughly-hewn potential in this comedian and her vaguely-familiar show, that's for sure, though Borensztajn hasn't refined it yet.

Rosie Rodiadis flings her character at the audience to open Uncloaked, kicking off her cabaret show with verve and a dynamic presence.

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.
