This is as slick and as tight and as fast paced as musicals get and that can’t be without the support of what must be an incredibly drilled and disciplined backstage team.

This Arena Spectacular version is both event and celebration in equal measure; a heart soaring live tribute to the show itself delivered with meticulous professionalism by some of theatre’s creative and technical best.

There’s not a moment of filler, as every song is carefully placed to support the story and its characters.

Shlesinger is an expert at keeping the audience on their toes with her storytelling style that has the energy of a boxing match.

Brings together rock musicians, gasp-inducing acrobatics and a lascivious mistress of ceremonies/singer in Bernie Dieter herself

Jesus Christ Superstar is a flawless production that has found the most talented and remarkable artists to bring this (let’s be honest) rather depressing story to life.

Even though the setting is smaller, the full ensemble is all still there, making certain moments overflow in bustling and space-eating kinaesthetic flurries.

First performed at Melbourne’s La Mama in 1971, David Williamson’s The Removalists holds a place of particular esteem in Australian theatre history.

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.
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.
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.
