-
The Player Kings (Seymour) ★★★★½
This isn’t “eating your theatrical vegetables,” but a lavish degustation menu of Shakespearean delights.
-
The Glass Menagerie (Ensemble) ★★★½
Director Liesel Badorrek’s new production pushes against the play’s expected structure and text to bring the “memory play” to the stage with a fresh twist.
-
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.
-
The Boys in the Band (Chapel Off Chapel) ★★★
The Boys in the Band has seen it all. It’s been adored, revered, filmed, dismissed, reviled, revived, filmed again… It’s the Cher of gay theatre.
-
Honour (Red Stitch) ★★★½
It’s sadly a “tale as old as time”: a middle-aged man leaves his family for a younger woman.
-
Truth (Malthouse) ★★★½
We’re not here to debate Assange but to venerate him.
-
Never Have I Ever (Melbourne Theatre Co) ★★★★
Four friends meet up in a restaurant for dinner and an awkward conversation.
-
Song of First Desire (Belvoir) ★★★½
There’s a ghost haunting Song of First Desire. Well, two, actually: the Ghost of Stories Past and the Ghost of Stories Future.
