-
The Talented Mr Ripley (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★
Be gay, do crimes.
-
Kimberly Akimbo (MTC) ★★★★
Five-time Tony Award-winning musical Kimberly Akimbo is quirky, charming, and completely original. Get to Melbourne before Kimberly Akimbo disappears — there’s no telling if Sydney will get its chance.
-
Once on This Island (Hayes) ★★★★½
It’s a little scrappy, a little sappy, and very, very heartwarming.
-
werkaholics (Belvoir 25a) ★★
Some shows deliberately defy simple, clear interpretation and artfully invite the audience to discover meaning on their own terms. Some, like werkaholics, do none of those things.
-
Grief is the Thing With Feathers (Belvoir) ★★★★½
Don’t be put off by the title; while it meditates on grief, it’s also quite fun, albeit in a dark way.
-
Fewer Emergencies (Old Fitz) ★★★★½
Frankly, this is fantastic work.
-
The Book of Mormon (Capitol Theatre) ★★★★★
I had no intention of actually reviewing The Book of Mormon. So why am I writing this now? Because it was completely, filthily, fucking five-stars worth of brilliant!
-
Babyteeth (KXT on Broadway) ★★★
This is not a feel-good night at the theatre, but this production highlights some exciting onstage talent.
-
Emerald City (Ensemble) ★★★
Emerald City deserves its place in Sydney’s theatrical canon.
-
Betrayal (Old Fitz) ★★★★
We already know the ‘who’, ‘when’, ‘what’ and ‘where’ of events; what remains unknown is the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of their relationships.
