Back to the Future: The Musical
Back to the Future: The Musical is its own kind of time machine. It straps you into the driver’s seat of the DeLorean and takes you back to when movies were cultural connective tissue.
Orlando | Belvoir
This production is not so much a play as an essay in non binary advancement over five hundred years, some visually impressive, some laboured like the interminable vignettes that end the play.
Ray Chen in Recital
Chen’s incredible talent, expressive delight for his craft and connection with the audience made for a night of pure musical joy.
The Edit | Unlikely Productions and Legit Theatre Co.
A serious but simultaneously very funny drama that analyses personal problems in tandem with the social problems that encircle and partly create them.
Meow Meow’s The Red Shoes
Initial inertia blazes into an exuberant crazy kamikaze cabaret, a loose rendering and deconstruction of Hans Christian Andersen’s so called fairy tale.
