Golden Blood 黄金血液 (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★
This may be Tong’s playwriting debut but Golden Blood is a terrifically sharp 90 minute two-hander.
-
All Boys (KXT on Broadway) ★★★★
As a piece of independent theatre, All Boys is instantly impressive. For a budget-tight show full of debuts and recent drama school grads it is extraordinary. This is just great theatre.
-
The Queen’s Nanny (Ensemble Theatre) ★★★★
The more I think about The Queen’s Nanny, the more it makes me smile.
-
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.
-
Hillsong Boy (Sydney Fringe) ★★★½
The impulse to make this show a new form of “ministry” can be hard for a Hillsong survivor to resist.
-
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.
-
Godz (Sydney Fringe) ★★★★
Greece is the word!
-
UnWrapped: Class Act (Sydney Opera House) ★★★½
Mish Grigor’s Class Act uses the tale of My Fair Lady to attack the insidious class divide in Australia, and particularly the arts industry.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (Belvoir) ★★★★★
Belvoir doing what Belvoir does best.
