How to Get Rich is a highly entertaining tale of hope, and what happens when you take a chance.

It's not just brilliant juggling, acrobatics, strength, balance and slap stick stuff that makes this a great show - it's the brains behind the brawn.


Scissor Sisters are a band that is at their best live, where their musical skill is superb and their songs are embellished by relaxed but tightly choreographed performance. Bold, brash and confidently sexual, the Sisters are always a welcome visitor to Melbourne.

The show will confirm your worst fears about the dark side of TV current affairs, and perhaps change your viewing habits forever. But it'll be worth it - go.

The only consistent element is dissonance. Happiness is aggressive, sexuality is grotesque, pleasure is tainted and pain revelationary.

Those fossils old enough to remember the cabaret heyday of Reg Livermore are likely to find a resonant nostalgia in Tommy Bradson. But while Reg played an unbelievably solid eight-month season at the Balmain Bijou in 1975, with Bradson it's a case of 'where've you been all our theatrical lives?' We like to think of ourselves, I suppose, as increasingly sophisticated and permissive, yet Reg was rockin' 'n' shockin' the mainstream in a way that's rarely possible today. So, in short, we're bloody lucky to have Bradson and Sweet Sixteen (or The Birthday Party Massacre).
