Sister Act (Capitol Theatre) ★★★
If you like big numbers under coloured lights and want something to exorcise the winter blues, then this will be for you. Is it good? Well, as Mother Superior would say, “I have no words”.
-
Murder For Two (Riverside Parramatta) ★★★★★
After knocking us dead last year at Hayes, Murder For Two gets a short, sharp run at Riverside Parramatta. Maverick Newman and Gabbi Bolt are back with a bigger set, and a million characters to bring to life.
-
Arlington (Seymour Centre) ★★★★
Arlington will be divisive – multiple people walked out of the opening night performance. That rarely happens
-
The Arrogance (KXT on Broadway) ★★★½
Olivia Clement’s The Arrogance is a gentle, and handsomely staged, look at the contradictions of abusive parents and the way adults deal with childhood trauma.
-
The Woman In Black (Theatre Royal) ★★★½
Cheap thrills and jump scares might not be the most sophisticated of theatrical outings, but there’s no denying the fun to be had.
-
Present Laughter (NT Live) ★★★★★
It’s a rare thing these days to watch a production without a bad note.
-
The Past is a Wild Party (Qtopia) ★★★★
Queer lit collides with queer life in Noëlle Janaczewska’s one-woman show, The Past is a Wild Party.
-
Hamlet (Opera Australia) ★★★★
It’s nice to see another fresh piece spice up the Opera Australia repertoire.
-
In The Heights (Sydney Opera House) ★★★½
There just isn’t a better venue to “look at the fireworks” than the Opera House.
-
Cost of Living (Sydney Theatre Co.) ★★★½
Cost of Living is not a play about inflation or Coles & Woolies gouging consumers. No, this is Martyna Majok’s 2018 Pulitzer Prize winning play about four people navigating complex physical, emotional and financial relationships.
