Edmund: The Beginning is a one-man investigation of the emotional range of performance in the traditional vein, an exploration of fascination and despair at human limitations.

Briefs the show, turns out to be an irreverent look at the world of burlesque or Boy-lesque as some of the promos describe the show.

With a killer script from the master of the snappy comeback, Larry Gelbart, the action rattles along at such as pace that the musical interludes often provide a much-needed reprise for your brain to catch up.

Buyer and Cellar owes its success to the multi-talented, multi-character actor, Ash Flanders, who turns in a beautifully crafted performance – charming, impish, convincing and nuanced for all five characters that he inhabits.

Melbourne (and soon Sydney) audiences are truly fortunate to have the opportunity to see and experience yet another Broadway legend at the peak of their career – this time the amazingly talented Audra McDonald.

The performances overall are meaty and grounded and provide for a night of, if not riveting theatre then enough strong moments to satisfy.

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’.
Afterglow | Midnight Theatricals

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