McLennan and Snelling make inspired use of their unusual performance space, heightening the experience of a show that would be rave-worthy enough performed on a stage.

It's an uneven, rambling set of mostly disjointed stories that occasionally have you also wondering what on Earth he is actually saying.

While funny, charming and with a banging body, Anonymous kept the audience at bay, his story more a work of fiction than a “confession”.

Mike Birbiglia's My Girlfriend's Boyfriend is a delightful piece of performance storytelling, taking stand-up comedy material and crafting it memorably into a larger narrative with moments of emotional depth and insight. And vomit jokes.

Not your average comedy show, nor indeed much like anything else you’ve likely seen, Little Dances is a unique and very entertaining piece.

The world of contemporary dance can be a magnificent place for exploration of form, body, music and a new frontier in creative expression. It can also be a place where arrogance and self-indulgence are more apparent than artistic expression

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’.
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.
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.
