A two-hander which holds its own throughout, Sweet Phoebe is a nicely paced, highly amusing and well constructed work which plays out as a parody of a sitcom.

An eclectic mix of talent, the group put on an entertaining and eventful night out, well worth bracing the cold Melbourne winter for.

In an age when our life is dictated by shopping lists, a plethora of terrible pop-cultural references and reality TV that seems to be on a doomed trajectory – Things Not To Do After a Break Up is a perfect way to spend an evening at the theatre.

Pulsing with lust, love and betrayal, the current production of Onegin is a passionate display of naivety, temptation and misplaced desire.

Between extreme pole dancing and disastrous magic tricks (intentional I hope) the troupe of misfits and eccentrics kept the audience entertained with their trickery and triumphs.

It is a credit to Clarke’s direction that a simplicity and eloquence were retained which ensured that the different narratives were always equally maintained.

Motherf**ker with the Hat introduces five people: four former alcoholics and drug addicts – two fully reformed while the other two teeter on the edge – and one unashamed and unapologetic continued addict.

There are moments in theatre that leave you not quite breathless, yet they cause your heart to beat just that little bit faster, raise goose bumps on your skin and transport you into a character's life so seamlessly, it is as though the performance is just for you.

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.
