Whether lamenting or romanticising pain, or revelling in love or lust (or both), Tim Rogers in Last Night When We Were Young completely wooed us with his honesty, wit and trademark self-deprecation.

The things the Shadowland crew do with the shadows of the dancers' bodies is quite magical. You and your inner child will become besties again.

A fabulous hive full of women of colour take centre stage this week at Melbourne's Arts Centre, and you'd better sort out some time to get there.

Driving through the Otways one stormy night, mining magnate Harry hits a rare tiger quoll – the first to be seen in the area in 10 years.

This performance by Kara Stacey Merrin is very short and very weird, deserving of a very short and very weird review.

The story deals with racism, misogyny and violence, allowing its young characters to grapple with these elements while retaining their lightness and integrity.

Avenue Q is a show for anyone who’s ever questioned the meaning of life, made irresponsible choices and wished to be a kid again.

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.
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.
