Opera Australia's lavish production of The Mikado succeeds in doing justice to the colourful whimsy and pointed fakery of Gilbert & Sullivan's classic.

Stage Fright! does have the bare bones of something good, but it needs a lot more polish.

There is much to like about this Eagle’s Nest production. The pace is excellent and there is a poignant mix of humour and pathos.

If you want to have a good laugh at yourself and everyone you know then go and see Urban Display Suite, a cabaret which says it all when it comes to real estate and the housing boom blighting our town.

Porn.Cake is yet another play to deal with the not-quite-so-good life but the approach is original and the writing strong and sure.

The Laudanum Project, a trio of gentlemen determined to bring some macabre true stories to light, have dug up an extraordinarily bloody tale of possessed children, rivers of blood, and rotting corpses with this latest show.

The result is a show of vivid beauty, almost surreal at times, an extensive, thoughtful journey through vulnerability and physicality, strength and alienation … Beautifully Imperfect is about many things you don’t expect to see in circus.

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.
