From the second row in the Elisabeth Murdoch Hall at the new Melbourne Recital Centre, the acoustics are so clear and distinct that one can almost hear the performers thinking, and one can most certainly hear them breathing.

It's basically impossible not to enjoy a performance by a symphony orchestra, no matter what they're playing. The rich, stirring sounds wash over you and never fail to warm the soul.

It was standing room only at Bennetts Lane Jazz Club as the Jazzgroove Mothership Orchestra raised the roof with a lively evening of Big Band jazz.

The Opera Australia performance of Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk by Dmitry Shostakovich is a feast for the ears and fertile ground for the deepest philosophical reflections.

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.
