Not only is she a brilliant singer but such a convincing actress, that she adopts mannerisms and recreates iconic moments etched in our collective memories with such incredible respect and authenticity.

There is really no need to write a detailed review for established Meow Meow fans; that she has a new show is reason enough to go see it. She is at her finest in Little Mermaid. So this is a review for the uninitiated, one for the future fans.

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.

It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.
