Vivaldi’s Last Meal hadn’t quite made up its mind what it wants to be when it grows up. I’m not saying this because it’s a cooking show and classical music concert rolled into one, but because all the elements that made up the show didn’t quite come together on the night.

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’.
Cluedo The Play
Cluedo is an energetically performed ensemble farce that either toyed with surprising us, or missed opportunities to do so.
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.
Piper's Playhouse | Crown Entertainment
There’s an endless fascination for the underground nightlife of prohibition-era America or turn-of-the-century Europe.
