This show is different, darkly funny, with a unique aesthetic and very stylishly done. It’s beautifully written; fabulous, fun, nasty and weird; polished and surprising throughout.

Five seemingly plain, unremarkable women; a cleaner, a backup singer, a librarian, a junior journalist, and a nanny, all want to be somebody, anybody but themselves.

The discovery of a work that simply needs to be consumed and felt, rather than explained, is a magical moment. But in expressing this experience there comes a curious complication; there is so much and yet so little to say.

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.
