Interview: The Cast of STC’s The Normal Heart
I got to sit down with some of the cast of Sydney Theatre Company’s production of The Normal Heart for The Queer Review. Mitchell Butel, Nicholas Brown, Tim Draxl, Keiynan Lonsdale & Fraser Morrison were very passionate about the play, and generous with their time. Have a read on The Queer Review.
-
Perfect Arrangement (New Theatre) ★★★½
Thanks to a sharp script and strong performances, the show ultimately shines through its own sometimes flawed execution.
-
Purpose (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★
Purpose comes to Sydney on the shoulders of a lot of expectation.
-
Traffic Light Party (KXT on Broadway) ★★★½
You simply could not pay me to be a twenty-something again.
-
Amplified: The Exquisite Rock & Rage of Chrissy Amphlett (Belvoir) ★★★★½
It’s a fine line between concert and cabaret. You’ve done it once, you can do it again.
-
The Girl’s Guide to Saving the World (Old Fitz) ★★★½
Twenty-something insecurities hit home in Elinor Cook’s funny The Girl’s Guide to Saving the World.
-
Barbra: The Greatest Star (Hayes) ★★★★★
No one is raining on this hit parade.
-
WAKE (Sydney Festival) ★★★★
This is an acrobatic-circus-comedy-dance-cabaret-beatbox-poledancing-aerial-Irish-dancing-breakdancing performance… let’s just call it a “variety show” with a live band.
-
Danny & the Deep Blue Sea (Old Fitz) ★★★½
Maybe it’s time we started re-examining John Patrick Shanley’s work a little more closely.
-
Mama Does Derby (Sydney Festival) ★★★½
Mama Does Derby brings roller derby into the Sydney Town Hall… sorta.
