Most adults would be completely mortified by the thought of a 91 storey treehouse full of hazards and life endangering animals. The children however lapped it up!

Swap the big top for the splendid Hamer Hall, this show delivers two hours of truly extraordinary acts of human physicality – tumbling, twirling, twisting, spinning and, at times, literally flying through the air.

Choir of Man is a cocktail of cabaret, comedy and concert. The mix of classic pop, current bangers and a few Aussie favorites will have you grooving along to their sweet harmonies.

Robinson is no diva. She makes no claims for stardom, but borrows the light of stars. Her modesty is part of the magic. She is able to disappear and reappear in an instant, each time recreating a diva with a distinct voice, character and tormented history: drugs, alcohol, an early death and other tragedies.

The most recent Australian production lives up to the high standard set by previous incarnations, the razor-sharp choreography and execution (pardon the pun) is some of the slickest I’ve witnessed on the Australian stage.

As a space that facilitated the military training of young men from the Footscray community who were then sent to faraway battlefields, The Drill now fills this space with contemporary circus, theatre and music. There is historical reimagining of the impact of their leaving, a reimagining through a feminine lens.

Where’s My Money? is a play which seizes your attention, where the handful of protagonists speak with brutal and callous honesty, interwoven with lies and deceit.

As a finale for MTC’s impressive 2019 season, Kiss of the Spider Woman has been an alluring, exciting and eagerly anticipated climax. And – I loved it.

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.
