Cultural Binge – independent theatre reviews from Sydney, Australia (mostly).
-
I & You (Belvoir 25a) ★★★½
It’s the most YA of YA plots—you could probably rename Lauren Gunderson’s 2014 teen romance I and You something like The Fault in Our Star Turtles (you’ll get it when you see the show).
-
Happy Days (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★
Happy Days is a reminder to address the elephants in the room—before it’s too late.
-
The Wrong Gods (Belvoir) ★★★½
For all the small-scale human specificity in The Wrong Gods, it manages to speak to the state of the world in expansive ways.
-
IRL (KXT on Broadway) ★★
As a longtime pop culture nerd myself, I was either going to hate IRL or be completely on board with it.
-
Abigail Williams (HERStory Arts Festival) ★★★★
Terrific script, terrific staging, and a powerful performance. Abigail Williams is well worth exploring.
-
Posh (Old Fitz) ★★★★½
Posh at the Old Fitz is great writing brought to life on stage. It may be a bit cramped in there, but it’s worth it.

New York Mini-Reviews 2025 p3: Broadway Musicals
Audra! Idina! Nicole! New musicals! Revivals! Adaptations! There’s a bit of everything… except jukeboxes. No jukeboxes.

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.
