The Prom (Teatro) ★★★½
I don’t know how many branches of Spotlight they had to ram-raid to make the sequin-clad set of The Prom at Teatro, but it was worth it.
-
The Phantom of the Opera (Handa Opera) ★★★★
Dress up, grab a glass of bubbly and settle in – this is exactly as magnificent as pop-opera should be.
-
My Brilliant Career (STC) ★★★★★
Why is it titled My Brilliant Career? Because My Brilliant-Ecstatic-Defiant-Poetic-Ambitious-Uplifting-Hilarious-Heartwarming-Beautiful Career doesn’t quite roll off the tongue.
-
Head Over Heels (Hayes) ★★★½
After two aborted attempts to bring Head Over Heels to the Hayes, it’s finally here.
-
Putting It Together (Foundry Theatre) ★★★★
I’ve got to say it feels good to be opening 2026 by seeing (and hearing) some Sondheim—performed by the very best.
-
Pretty Woman: The Musical (Theatre Royal) ★★★
Let me start by saying Pretty Woman: The Musical is NOT the worst musical I’ve seen in 2025.

Congratulations, Get Rich! 恭喜发财, 人日快乐 (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★
Some very good elements mixed with some poor elements mean it all evens out in the wash.

Looking Ahead to (not) Sydney Theatre in 2026: Part Three
If you fancy heading interstate for a show & some touristing, I’ve got some shows you might be interested in checking out.
-
The Lovers (Theatre Royal) ★★★★½
Bigger, louder and flashier, The Lovers rivals & Juliet for the Pop Shakespeare crown.
-
Calamity Jane (Sydney Opera House) ★★★★
With this production pulling the queer-coded subtext out into the spotlight, it’s clear that this “secret love’s no secret anymore.”
