Sunset Boulevard (Silvie’s Version) (Sydney Opera House) ★★★★½
I wanted to see Silvie Paladino in the role of Norma Desmond. So I trundled down to the Opera House on a balmy autumnal Sydney night for another hit of old Hollywood.

Titanique (The Grand Electric) ★★★★
It’s all seamen and Céline fucking Dion in Sydney at the moment. Full review on The Queer Review.

Golden Blood 黄金血液 (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★
This may be Tong’s playwriting debut but Golden Blood is a terrifically sharp 90 minute two-hander.

All Boys (KXT on Broadway) ★★★★
As a piece of independent theatre, All Boys is instantly impressive. For a budget-tight show full of debuts and recent drama school grads it is extraordinary. This is just great theatre.
