This is a wonderful adaptation of a modern literary classic, and one of the best productions I have seen by Opera Australia in the past few years.

The 2011 NICA Circus Showcase is a fun production. It’s easy on the head, and the heart. Across the evening the audience are privy to a broad spectrum of talent, on many different levels.

This is not going to be a night of Divas or musical theatre renditions, but rather a collection of not-so-obvious choices, which makes for an unpredictable, yet highly enjoyable performance.

Grey Gardens the musical for the most part, disconnects with the dramatic tension in the narrative structure, because of the musical element.

Bad Blood Blues is certainly a gripping and very interesting, if not perfect play.

Using the original transcripts, writers Andrea James and Giordano Nanni have distilled the essence of the story to create a 90-minute performance that gives a fascinating insight into a piece of Victoria’s history that bears further examination.

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.
