The Lion King is something else altogether, and last night's opening performance of the worldwide hit at Crown Casino was quite possibly one of the best shows I've ever attended.

In reviving this work, The Production Company has decided to open up the 'revue' giving director Dean Bryant the opportunity to write a 'show' around the show.

Overall this is a unique and fascinating show, and director Jay James Moody shows a skillful knowledge of the material and a deft hand with character.

It’s so easy to fall in love with the music and the myth surrounding the demise of Holly and it’s just as easy to fall in love with Scott Cameron as he resurrects the songs that rave on and never fade away.

Dinkum Assorted has so much energy. Energy that comes from the characters. The desperate energy of survival, the joyful energy of youth, the determined energy of women who are fighting together to maintain a life that is worth living.

A very good artist makes their personal experiences universal, leading to empathy and hopefully a finished product that has a resonance beyond a very specific context.

An extraordinary work from the original and fearless Nicola Gunn, Piece for Person and Ghetto Blaster invites the audience to consider a moral dilemma and her response to it.
