Well known, well-spoken and very well dressed – Tom Allen adds an additional layer of dandy endearment to his fabulously funny show by greeting his audience one by one as they arrive.

If you’ve read the promo material and were hoping for an all-out blitz on Nicole Kidman, this show is not for you. But fans will be happy to hear that O’Loughlin’s finely tuned bullshit meter is fully charged and her aim is as true as it ever was.

This is an outstanding production on every level, which far exceeds any other musical adaptation of an Australian film we’ve yet seen.

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 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.
