Sweat (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★
Of the Pulitzer Prize winning plays on Sydney stages right now, STC’s Sweat and Belvoir’s August: Osage County, you can guess which one I’d rewatch last.

Jesus Christ Superstar is back and it’s louder, flashier, sweatier and glitterier than ever before.

The Inheritance, Parts 1 & 2 (Seymour Centre) ★★★★½
Grab a cushion and strap yourself in for a literary, theatrical marathon because The Inheritance has finally come to Sydney!
-
The Female of the Species (Old Fitz) ★★★½
The Female of the Species, is filled with laughs with a literate edge, poking fun at celebrity intellectuals, feminism, gullible consumers and turn of the century gender politics.
-
Sunday (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★★
Like its lead character, Sunday Reed, the play has opinions and is more than happy to share them.
-
Dear Evan Hansen (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★½
Dear Evan Hansen is a shamelessly mawkish show of radio-friendly pop hits… that’s not a flaw, that’s its superpower.

Flat Earthers: The Musical (Griffin/Hayes) ★★½
What threw me was the fact this was a co-production between Hayes and Griffin, leading me to expect something with a slightly higher IQ than what we get.

Ruins أطلال (Belvoir 25a) ★★★★
It’s quite rare that I watch a piece of independent theatre and leave pondering its beauty.
-
Well-Behaved Women (Belvoir) ★★★½
Songwriter Carmel Dean pokes fun at the patriarchy and heaps praise on some key stories of female rebels, iconoclasts, champions and quiet achievers throughout time.
