A sweet and at times melancholy tribute to hope, love, and laying your heart on the line.

To be able to just sit and be carried away by a seemingly effortless and poignant rendition of some of world’s most beautiful songs … there is nothing more to ask of a night’s entertainment.

Attempting to rationalise the play in any literal sense is futile since it is the ambiguous, meandering nature of the 4 voices that allows it to become such a powerful work.

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’.
