Jon Robin Baitz’s play about the wealthy Wyeth family who once “had it all” and lived the great American dream of upper class social standing and good looks to boot, is a glaring look into the skeletons found in even the most socially elite of closets.

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’.
