The Girlie Show, set in the lead-up to Madonna’s 1993 world tour of the same name, is an absolute gem.

By his own admission, Frank Woodley’s emotional age is 11 – which immediately puts him in good stead to write and perform a show for children.

Beyond Priscilla is an unusual and audacious proposition for a play, based on a real undertaking that was unusual and audacious itself.

This is a wonderful production, and an example of what great theatre a Festival such as Midsumma can generate. Do not miss this opportunity.

Finn and collaborators have compiled a very pleasant and even charming piece of theatre. The drama is kept to a minimum, with Ladies in Black presenting a very 'nice' version of Australia back then.

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’.

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