There are plenty of options of what to do on a Wednesday night in Melbourne but deciding to go and see The Threepenny Opera isn’t a bad choice. In fact I would say its a very good option indeed.

The play is an interesting one about generosity and what happens when someone is overwhelmed with a desire to help – regardless of whether the help is welcomed or even warranted.

There is a formality and restraint to proceedings with the occasional hint of humour. Glimmers of comraderie, competition and bravado between the men all emerge.

Far from the high tech world of much of the festival, The Folding Wife is surprisingly and satisfyingly low-tech.

Hackett’s light-hearted take on history’s most famous love tale elicits all the warmth, laughter, tomfoolery (and filth) from the Elizabethan script to create an endearingly jocular performance.

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.
