Part of the brilliance of Casey Bennetto’s Keating! “The Musical We Had To Have” is that it isn’t really a musical, either structurally or musically.

It is really difficult to appreciate the significance of this definitive period in ballet history when we now see ballet being performed in such diverse and experimental interpretations.

2,000 Feet Away | Frogbattleship / B Sharp

Something’s rotten in the state of Iowa. Terrible things are happening to children. Hysterical residents demand that something be done.

Respect – The Musical is a light-hearted celebration of women and their place in American popular song. It is a fun and well-realised show that many ticket-buying Sydneysiders would certainly enjoy.

This is a beautiful and unusual work, with excellent performances by the five dancers and some wonderful visual art as well.

The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels | Redfern Lane Productions
Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
Continuity | New Theatre
On the set of a big-budget Hollywood eco-thriller, the clock is ticking for an on time and under budget wrap.
Cadaver Synod | NIDA and bAKEHOUSE Theatre Co
Blind faith and rational belief are always sparring partners in dramatic conflict and so it is here with the power play tinged with superstition and salaciousness.
