To quote Julia’s introduction, “it was a show of biblical proportions”, promising us variety, music, comedy, chitchat and of course, Kwizzing. It delivered on all fronts.

I have always been sceptical of stage hypnosis but I'm here today to say that it’s real. Imagine forgetting your own name? Never. But last night a young volunteer did exactly that, then was later persuaded his name was something else altogether.

Comedian, CJ Delling’s flyer promises “a show you could bring your mum, first date or dentist to.” And you could. So Dr Sternson, what are you doing next Saturday?

More mainstream than edgy, Velvet is nevertheless a fun night out that will leave its audience feeling happy.

Take three clowns, who double as musicians, add three great voices, idiosyncratic lyrics, a guitar, and now and then a trumpet, and you have the inimitable, unforgettable Tripod.

Sara Pascoe's inclined to lecture, if you listen to her version of herself. ‘I’m a fun lady!’ She means it sarcastically but she is a fun lady.

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.
