No Love Songs (Foundry) ★★★
Everyone’s life has a playlist, and this is Lana and Jessie’s. But don’t come to No Love Songs thinking this is some fun, music-infused rom-com gig-musical.
-
The Boys in the Band (Chapel Off Chapel) ★★★
The Boys in the Band has seen it all. It’s been adored, revered, filmed, dismissed, reviled, revived, filmed again… It’s the Cher of gay theatre.
-
Honour (Red Stitch) ★★★½
It’s sadly a “tale as old as time”: a middle-aged man leaves his family for a younger woman.
-
Truth (Malthouse) ★★★½
We’re not here to debate Assange but to venerate him.
-
Never Have I Ever (Melbourne Theatre Co) ★★★★
Four friends meet up in a restaurant for dinner and an awkward conversation.
-
Song of First Desire (Belvoir) ★★★½
There’s a ghost haunting Song of First Desire. Well, two, actually: the Ghost of Stories Past and the Ghost of Stories Future.
-
Picnic at Hanging Rock (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★
Disquiet. Two worlds are colliding, and the space is filled with an air of disquiet.
-
She Slayed: A Drag Murder Mystery (Qtopia) ★★★★
Get your friends, grab a drink, and get a seat.
-
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.
