Exuberant and dazzling, the Production Company’s Mame is a tender piece of musical theatre which will impress and entertain.

Die Roten Punkte’s Daniel Tobias and Clare Bartholomew really are Super Musikant(s), as well as Super Comedians! Rock Bang!

Infantile talk and behaviour, apple peeling, apple cutting, tea drinking, toy playing, floor sweeping and tap dancing; there seemed to be no coherency or natural order to the events which occurred.

With audience snuggled together, perched on stools in a space the size of a lounge room, it’s a very fringe experience. But unlike so many fringe offerings, this show delivers the whole package.

Rocky Horror is the apex of 1970’s camp horror, this schmaltzy parody of the 1950’s late night double feature meets alien infested sex romp lingers in the popular imagination.

West Gate | Melbourne Theatre Company
At 11.50am on October 15 1970, 35 men fell to their death as their place of work gave way from under them.
Heathers The Musical
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.
The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
Swan | Elf Lyons
Quirks of the source – and of the environment that sustains it – are cleanly exposed in a high-energy hour of physical comedy, delivered with moments of avian grace.
The Brut Truth: A Champagne Comedy Tasting | Prétentieux vin Branleur
It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.
