Looking Ahead to the 2025 Season
Sydney’s major theatre companies have announced their 2025 seasons and there is a lot to pick over.
-
People Will Think You Don’t Love Me (KXT Broadway) ★★★★
It’s a horror trope we know well. The protagonist has a transplant (a heart, a brain or an arm usually) and they become possessed by the original owner’s spirit…
-
August: Osage County (Belvoir) ★★★★★
“Thank God we can’t tell the future. We’d never get out of bed.”
-
Wicked: Part 1 (Cinemas) ★★★½
Let us be glad! Let us be grateful! The film adaptation of the stage adaptation of the book based on the earlier children’s story has finally premiered.
-
Sweat (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★
Of the Pulitzer Prize winning plays on Sydney stages right now, STC’s Sweat and Belvoir’s August: Osage County, you can guess which one I’d rewatch last.
-
Jesus Christ Superstar (Capitol Theatre) ★★★★½
Jesus Christ Superstar is back and it’s louder, flashier, sweatier and glitterier than ever before.
-
Oscar (Australian Ballet) ★★★★½
Through the opulent beauty of choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and composer Joby Talbot’s original ballet, Oscar, presents Oscar Wild’s story through a romantic lens with an eye on his legacy.

MQFF 2024 Reviews
Once again I’m reviewing films at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival this year for The Queer Review. I’ve consolidated my reviews (and those by other Queer Review reviewers) here so they sit in the one place.
-
The Inheritance, Parts 1 & 2 (Seymour Centre) ★★★★½
Grab a cushion and strap yourself in for a literary, theatrical marathon because The Inheritance has finally come to Sydney!
-
Sunset Blvd (Nicole’s Version) (St James Theatre, Broadway) ★★★★★
Every now and again I get a total theatrical obsession and now, you can add the new production of Sunset Boulevard to the list.
