The speciality acts are first rate and the quartet of dancers intermingled through the acts are also top quality.

What transcends however, is a confused production that is one half Shakespeare, one half soap-opera that barely manages to scratch the surface of the original text.

The crushing barbs come thick and fast between these two from the moment they appear in in the box seats above.

It’s both an entertaining and moving story that aptly depicts the passion and joy Allen brought to the stages he performed on.

With its tent compound of concession stands, carnival games and intimate seating area, it is old-school circus with old-school aesthetics in a litany of different offerings, almost like a variety show.

The circus skills are high and shine brightly, especially when dramatic ideas are sometimes overextended.

This is a play that begins with a focus on the process of acting and in the hands of these two outstanding performers, the layering of the narrative against the work they are actually doing, for real, is utterly joyful.

Club Vegas is a whole lot of everything as it showcases style over substance in its crowded, amusing potluck of offerings.

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.
