The Female of the Species (Old Fitz) ★★★½
The Female of the Species, is filled with laughs with a literate edge, poking fun at celebrity intellectuals, feminism, gullible consumers and turn of the century gender politics.
-
Flat Earthers: The Musical (Griffin/Hayes) ★★½
What threw me was the fact this was a co-production between Hayes and Griffin, leading me to expect something with a slightly higher IQ than what we get.
-
Seventeen (Seymour Centre) ★★★
It’s the duality that makes Seventeen something special.
-
Titanique (The Grand Electric) ★★★★
It’s all seamen and Céline fucking Dion in Sydney at the moment. Full review on The Queer Review.
-
Definitely NOT A Hungry Game: A Parody Musical (Sydney Fringe) ★★★
Dramafreak Productions are deconstructing and generally taking the piss out of the book trilogy that became a film quadrilogy that spawned a prequel but is for legal reasons definitely not Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games series.
-
Hillsong Boy (Sydney Fringe) ★★★½
The impulse to make this show a new form of “ministry” can be hard for a Hillsong survivor to resist.
-
UnWrapped: Class Act (Sydney Opera House) ★★★½
Mish Grigor’s Class Act uses the tale of My Fair Lady to attack the insidious class divide in Australia, and particularly the arts industry.
-
Sister Act (Capitol Theatre) ★★★
If you like big numbers under coloured lights and want something to exorcise the winter blues, then this will be for you. Is it good? Well, as Mother Superior would say, “I have no words”.
-
Murder For Two (Riverside Parramatta) ★★★★★
After knocking us dead last year at Hayes, Murder For Two gets a short, sharp run at Riverside Parramatta. Maverick Newman and Gabbi Bolt are back with a bigger set, and a million characters to bring to life.
-
Present Laughter (NT Live) ★★★★★
It’s a rare thing these days to watch a production without a bad note.
