Memmie Le Blanc, also known as the feral child of Champagne, named after a region in France, is the story of a girl who was found and purchased by Madame Catherine Michel – who loved her as her own daughter and tried to bring her to acceptable societal conventions.

The major issue that drowns The Artisan Collective’s production is the absence of any conceptual focus towards ‘truthfulness’, sabotaging any possibility of the suspension of disbelief.

Overall, Tenderness is a magnificently successful production in its aim of highlighting big questions, and igniting the conversation about them.

Schneider captured Doris’s essence in this performance, clearly giving a large piece of herself in creating a showstopper.

The art of burlesque is most often associated with a kind of old world glamour – voluptuous ladies luxuriating with feather fans and so forth – but Metropolis 2040, the latest burlesque extravaganza to scorch the stage at Red Bennies cabaret bar, turns that on its head.

Red Stitch’s latest offering The Aliens is a brilliantly crafted production and a testament to why this company is in the midst of celebrating its tenth anniversary.

It’s not often I get to use the phrase “consummate performer” without sounding pretentious, but in the case of Martin Short, there really are no other words to describe the one man band of singing, dancing and comedic brilliance.

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.
