New York Mini-Reviews 2025 p2: Off-Broadway Musicals
Just like the Off-Broadway Plays, these musicals are all of the standard we can easily see here at home, but both felt tied to New York for their own reasons.
-
Bloom (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★
Tom Gleisner & Katie Weston’s Bloom arrives in Sydney following its well-reviewed premiere at Melbourne Theatre Co in 2023.
-
Guys & Dolls (Handa Opera) ★★★★
Blown up to Sydney Harbour scale, Guys & Dolls’ colourful characters take on epic proportions.
-
MJ The Musical (Lyric) ★★★★
MJ is genuinely exciting and entertaining… it just depends on how much you care for Michael Jackson himself.
-
No Love Songs (Foundry) ★★★
Everyone’s life has a playlist, and this is Lana and Jessie’s. But don’t come to No Love Songs thinking this is some fun, music-infused rom-com gig-musical.
-
Hadestown (Theatre Royal) ★★★★½
The first time I saw Hadestown, I fell in love. Now that the show has arrived in Sydney, I’ve fallen in love all over again.
-
Converted (ATYP) ★★½
Converted needs more time to discover what it really is and what it really wants to say.
-
Ghost Quartet (Hayes) ★★★½
Do not come to Ghost Quartet expecting a conventional piece of musical theatre.
-
The Lord of the Rings: A Musical Tale (State Theatre) ★★
As we approached the third hour, I was rooting for Sauron to win.
-
Elf: The Musical (Sydney Opera House) ★★★½
How does this bog-standard movie-to-musical adaptation of Elf manage to be so unexpectedly adorable and fun? It must be a Christmas miracle.
