The broad sweep of Briwyant's technical, conceptual and artistic complexity are a revelation.

The Sound of Music | Chatswood Musical Society

Oh, c'mon! You know you want to. Go and see The Sound Of Music, I mean. Cool? No. Manly? Possibly not. But who can pretend they don't have a soft spot for its heartwarming themes.

Much Ado About Nothing | Bell Shakespeare

This production of Much Ado About Nothing may not be one of the most daring versions you will ever see, but it has a powerful charm, a light touch, and an unbeatably generous spirit.

A night spent side-by-side, cheek-by-jowl, with Sondheim, means we'll be opened to laughter, tears, melancholy, introspection, bitterness, generosity, exuberance and more.

Love In Idleness | Factory Space Theatre Company

It's pretty interesting stuff, but you've got to be on your mettle to follow it all, as Barrie himself takes you down his own dark, meandering, menacing path.

The Wizard Of Oz | Hornsby Musical Society

Call me old-fashioned, but I like my musicals to feature singers. Hornsby Musical Society's The Wizard Of Oz has too few of those.

I'm not sure what this music is. But I know it fits very comfortably into the better of Leonard Bernstein's two kinds of music.

One Man Lord of the Rings | Charles Ross

For something which seems at first like a geeky party trick that’s gone wildly out of control, one is soon seduced by the sheer level of skill involved in this diverse, multifaceted mimicry.

Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
Stage Kiss | New Theatre
There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.
As You Like It | Fingerless Theatre
Wit and beauty, pride and sorrow, self disgust and merriment
My Brilliant Career | Sydney Theatre Company
Based on an Australian literature classic, My Brilliant Career is destined to become an Australian theatrical classic.
Sistren | Griffin Theatre Company
Iolanthe and Janet Anderson work in cosmic, comedic accord, characterisation charismatic, timing impeccable, delivery precise, together a tour de force that ascends the cliché.
