This production doesn't put a foot wrong. Nope. Not even for a moment

Kiss of the Spider Woman | Darlinghurst Theatre & Gaiety Theatre

If you were to make a shortlist of the types of subject matter that typically lend themselves to adaptation as musical theatre, the tale of a tortured political activist imprisoned with a flamboyant gay window-dresser might not exactly spring to the top of the list.

Dick & Christa Hughes | Speakeasy Sunday

On the one hand, they seem like the father-daughter double-act least likely to be a father-daughter double-act. On the other, ironically, it's hard to imagine any two people could be better-matched than the inimitable, incredible Dick & Christa Hughes.

Starstruck | Western Sydney Dance Action

There is much evidence that Starstruck, despite its gimmicky title, can and, hopefully, will evolve and mature into a more even work.

As to the production, it is deeply-flawed, but the material is more than robust, pointed, provocative and pithy enough to see you through.

The MFO stands loud and proud as a jazz force to be reckoned with. Compositionally, orchestrally, live and recorded, they manage to get down a whole new sound.

This is Clare Bowditch; writer and singer of fearless, tell-it-like-it-is, truth-hurtful songs sung not always blue, but always beautifully.

Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night is regarded as one of the great masterpieces of American playwriting.

Uked! | Bondi Theatre Company
Uked! is a sing along, string along, immersive jukebox musical, that's more folksy balladeering than an all out, all that jazz razzmatazz.
The Lark | Hey Dowling
Noni Hazlehurst brings Rose and The Lark to colourful and compelling life in this one-woman show.
Doubt | Sydney Theatre Company
Contradiction, conundrum, conflict, racism, misogyny and homophobia run through this play like a main circuit cable snaking through a moral minefield of explosive allegation.
The Can Principle | Jonny Pasvolsky
Following the unedifying edict that "there's a sucker born every minute", the show skewers the modern self-improvement economy in a piss-take parody of today's 'gurus' and snake-oil salesmen.
Heartbreak Hotel | EBKM
Heartbreak Hotel invites its audience into an intimate portrait of the universal and isolating experience of heartbreak.
