If you’re still not feeling good after the plethora of ‘feel good’ musicals Melbourne’s been treated to recently, then you’d better get along to Hairspray.

'An epic journey into the history of vaudeville burlesque' proclaims the publicity for the show, and boy, is this fun.

More like a spoken memoir or a series of diary events, Motherlock is all angst and no art.

The She Sessions is, obviously, all about women – women under construction. Three separate dance pieces dip in and out of constructing and deconstructing archetypes.

PaPer Man is a sweet piece where you’re drawn into the world of two characters, a man and a woman, and he is challenged in a very charming way.

Honestly, the girl could just sing and you would be transported but her real cabaret/comedy voice is ahead of her.

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.
