Sondheim musicals are known for testing even the most seasoned performers, so what a delight it was to experience such an excellent production of 'A Little Night Music' from VCA's Music Theatre students.

Shes Landed at The Gatwick! | Somebodys Daughter Theatre Company

She’s Landed at the Gatwick is a gutsy, layered tale of endurance in the face of huge obstacles, and home in the face of recurrent homelessness.

The Madwoman Of Chaillot | Melbourne Theatre Company

The Madwoman of Chaillot may not have the same impact at the beginning of the twenty-first century as it did at its first airing in Paris in 1945, but the absurdity, hilarity and joie de vivre in this production are just as engaging and the issues surprising fresh.

A Beautiful Noise – The Neil Diamond Musical
A Beautiful Noise is a jukebox musical that imagines present-day Diamond looking back on his history.
GRIMM | Shake & Stir Theatre Co
Spells, rules and the fourth wall are consistently broken in this chaotic retelling of some of the Grimm Brother’s most famous fairy tales.
The Memory Mirror | G Luck Productions
This work regularly feels like a short story that has not been adequately shaped into a play
Hotsy-Totsy | 2026 Melbourne Fringe Festival
The show is aiming for silliness, and its successful realisation here is certainly a nice change of pace from the worries of the modern world.
An Evening Without Kate Bush
Young efficiently managed various costume changes to transport us to different eras of the Bush legacy. The vocals are consistently of a high-quality, even through the demands of some very physical dancing to a backing track.
