The Lovers (Theatre Royal) ★★★★½
Bigger, louder and flashier, The Lovers rivals & Juliet for the Pop Shakespeare crown.
-
Phar Lap: The Electro-Swing Musical (Hayes) ★★★★½
Steven Kramer delivers a remarkable trifecta: great music, sharp lyrics, and an outrageously bonkers book to match.
-
Calamity Jane (Sydney Opera House) ★★★★
With this production pulling the queer-coded subtext out into the spotlight, it’s clear that this “secret love’s no secret anymore.”
-
Rent (Sydney Opera House) ★★★★★
This is Rent done right: a must-see.
-
Kimberly Akimbo (MTC) ★★★★
Five-time Tony Award-winning musical Kimberly Akimbo is quirky, charming, and completely original. Get to Melbourne before Kimberly Akimbo disappears — there’s no telling if Sydney will get its chance.
-
Once on This Island (Hayes) ★★★★½
It’s a little scrappy, a little sappy, and very, very heartwarming.
-
The Book of Mormon (Capitol Theatre) ★★★★★
I had no intention of actually reviewing The Book of Mormon. So why am I writing this now? Because it was completely, filthily, fucking five-stars worth of brilliant!
-
Hedwig & the Angry Inch (Carriageworks) ★★★★★
Hedwig needs cabaret/rockstar energy, and Seann Miley Moore delivers.
-
Being Alive: The Music of Stephen Sondheim (Hayes) ★★★
Sondheim’s place on the musical theatre pedestal is assured.
-
Cats (Theatre Royal) ★★★½
Grab your leg warmers, Sydney, and escape the cold outside – Cats is back.
