Velvet Rewired is disco with a circus twist. Or circus with a disco soundtrack. Any way you describe it, it’s heaps of fun, with nostalgic hit after hit.

The show has a heightened energy that leans into sitcom-esque at times. The pace is fast as these two Gen Zs discuss some incredibly heavy subjects interspersed with humour to break the tension.

Quinn sings with such immense power and control that it is baffling she doesn’t have agents clamouring to sign her to a record deal.

Flanagan is just such a talented comic that she elicits huge laughs and fresh takes on what are, essentially, well-worn topics. In her hands even something as mundane as dog owners who don’t pick up their poop at the dog park becomes comedy gold.

Published shortly after his death in 1995, Holding the Man went on to win the UN Human Rights Award for Non-fiction the same year and continues to hold a special place in the broken hearts of the many who have read it.

Entirely sung through, this is a musical with a proper and original score that still feels remarkably fresh and sits in staggering contrast to the slot machine pay outs of a Jukebox musical.
Just like the source material, this is a morality tale, a fantasy to reflect dysfunction, rectify disappointment and repair disillusion but legacy and intergenerational grief are tenacious task masters.
LaPaglia is simply outstanding as a salesman bartering down his own price. Believable, present, committed – every indignity is expertly handled, never demonstrated but achingly and authentically realised.
Oneiric stands out as one of the best NICA graduate showcases in memory. The show is a true fusion of contemporary dance with circus skills.
It’s hard to follow the exact story, but that doesn’t really matter, as Crystal is more about enjoying familiar circus acts recontextualized within a bevy of ice dancers and stunt skaters.
