A Beautiful Noise – The Neil Diamond Musical
A Beautiful Noise is a jukebox musical that imagines present-day Diamond looking back on his history.
GRIMM | Shake & Stir Theatre Co
Spells, rules and the fourth wall are consistently broken in this chaotic retelling of some of the Grimm Brother’s most famous fairy tales.
The Memory Mirror | G Luck Productions
This work regularly feels like a short story that has not been adequately shaped into a play
Hotsy-Totsy | 2026 Melbourne Fringe Festival
The show is aiming for silliness, and its successful realisation here is certainly a nice change of pace from the worries of the modern world.
An Evening Without Kate Bush
Young efficiently managed various costume changes to transport us to different eras of the Bush legacy. The vocals are consistently of a high-quality, even through the demands of some very physical dancing to a backing track.
