Hadestown (Theatre Royal) ★★★★½
The first time I saw Hadestown, I fell in love. Now that the show has arrived in Sydney, I’ve fallen in love all over again.

The Pirates of Penzance, or the Slave of Duty (Hayes) ★★★★
Respectful yet irreverent, these pirates might surprise you.
-
Cruise (KXT on Broadway) ★★★★★
Jack Holden’s Olivier Award-nominated one-man play, Cruise, is a time-jumping, bar-hopping treasure that achieves in 90 minutes what The Inheritance takes almost seven hours to accomplish.
-
Wuthering Heights (Roslyn Packer) ★★★★
Iconic and iconoclastic, British director Emma Rice’s Wuthering Heights hits Sydney like a gale-force wind whipping across the moors.
-
4000 Miles (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★½
The reason you’ll want to see this is Shirong Wu’s show-stealing performance which breathes life into the sedate (and strangely knotty) plot.

Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen (Sydney Opera House) ★★★★½
Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen is less a play about a stand-up comic than it is a magic show in its own right.
-
Peter & the Starcatcher (Capitol Theatre) ★★★★
If, like me, you’re a sucker for fairy lights and the odd fart joke, you’ll love this Peter Pan prequel.
-
Aria (Ensemble) ★★★★
Aria seems like a broad comedy, but it could just as easily be a wildlife documentary.
