Hair is an absolute classic piece of musical theatre and has been brought to life by Stage Art with truth, integrity and joy.

Emerging from the same stable of family musicals that gave birth to Mary Poppins, the stage version of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang has finally reached our shores.

While a screen behind her shows snapshots of her childhood home in Sydney and black and white family photos from pre-war Europe, she recounts the story of her parents’ escape from Nazi persecution in Austria, their life as refugees in China and their final journey to Australia.

MacIvor’s script is chaotic, abstract and at times (one suspects deliberately) frustrating but it does have some very clever moments to it. The story-telling is obfuscatory but the observations on life and psychology are acute.

BLAZE the show, is a culmination of 12 of the worlds best street-dancers and b-boys, and is an action packed 90-minute ride of exceptional talent, rocking tunes and (seemingly) physically impossible tricks, flips and head spins.

Mostly acapella, Perfect Tripod treads the line between serious cheese and serious musicianship with plenty of laughs in between.

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.
