‘High’ Tea provides a glance into the life of a gifted individual who shined too bright for her own good, and burned out before the world got to know how talented she truly was.

The whole show is a completely engaging marriage of graceful, gangly physical humour and moving honesty.

While the quality of the singing is inconsistent, it hardly matters in what soon becomes a bit of a farce; sometimes the choice of song in itself wins a laugh.

A remarkable performer himself, Griffiths not only has a fullsome voice and total mastery of the keyboard, but he plays with heart-rending passion.

For almost two hours, the audience at Hamer Hall were in the palm of the hand of Broadway's bare-footed Diva, Idina Menzel.

This kind of story telling, I think, rests on the performer's ability to convince that the story is real, and for me this wasn't coming through here.

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.

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.
