Sigrid Thornton is a class act and powerfully delivers a mother straddling indifference, acceptability and reluctant responsibility.

Difficult to define but an absolute joy to watch, Hedwig and the Angry Inch is wonderfully entertaining.

It’s hard to watch with 2025 vision; it’s harder still to be reminded that women are still overwhelmingly not believed when it comes to acts of abuse and that their pain is misdiagnosed or undervalued.

It’s all about the unadulterated physicality and the amazing things bodies can do together and sometimes on their own. No gags or bells and whistles here.

This is as slick and as tight and as fast paced as musicals get and that can’t be without the support of what must be an incredibly drilled and disciplined backstage team.

This Arena Spectacular version is both event and celebration in equal measure; a heart soaring live tribute to the show itself delivered with meticulous professionalism by some of theatre’s creative and technical best.

Heathers The Musical
Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
Swan | Elf Lyons
Quirks of the source – and of the environment that sustains it – are cleanly exposed in a high-energy hour of physical comedy, delivered with moments of avian grace.
Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.

It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.
