If past students - and this amazing show - are anything to go by, these students will be the names of the future, headlining in Circus Oz, Cirque Du Soleil and other creative outlets.

The cast couldn't be faulted for the levels of energy displayed on the night, and special mention should go to Lehpamer, fresh from a lead role in Rock of Ages, always a charismatic and engaging presence on stage.

At 11.50am on October 15 1970, 35 men fell to their death as their place of work gave way from under them.
Heathers The Musical
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.The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company

The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
