Jesus Christ Superstar (Capitol Theatre) ★★★★½
Jesus Christ Superstar is back and it’s louder, flashier, sweatier and glitterier than ever before.
-
Dear Evan Hansen (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★½
Dear Evan Hansen is a shamelessly mawkish show of radio-friendly pop hits… that’s not a flaw, that’s its superpower.
-
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.
-
Joker: Folie à Deux (Cinema) ★★★
Joker: Folie à Deux is, make no mistake, a movie musical! It’s just not like one you’ve probably seen before, replacing the usual comedic beats with violence and psychological tension.
-
Sunset Boulevard (Silvie’s Version) (Sydney Opera House) ★★★★½
I wanted to see Silvie Paladino in the role of Norma Desmond. So I trundled down to the Opera House on a balmy autumnal Sydney night for another hit of old Hollywood.
-
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.
-
UnWrapped: AUTO-TUNE (Sydney Opera House) ★★★★★
Re:group performance collective deliver their most emotionally engaging show to date.
-
Sunset Boulevard (Sarah’s Version) (Sydney Opera House) ★★★★
Sunset Boulevard is big, it’s the other musicals that got small.
-
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”.
