‘Much Ado About Nothing’ was the talk of the town. Summertime in Melbourne is renowned for the activities it brings. Every December…

‘Blush’ was raucous.

Presented in QPAC’s Cremorne Theatre, ‘BLUSH’ is a sexy and flirtatious circus cabaret by Highwire Circus.

‘Jingle’ was scrumptious.

‘Jingle’ is clearly aimed at the entire family, it was flirty but not dirty (although the pole dancing number seemed to raise a few eyebrows around us) and the humour was lighthearted and fun.

‘Friends! The Musical Parody’ was (Central) Perk-y. So no one told you theatre was gonna be this way *clap clap clap clap*.…

‘Singin’ In The Rain: In Concert’ was glistening.

Prospero Art’s ‘Singin’ in the Rain: In Concert’ was a testament to how powerful simplicity and focus on performance can be in theatre. The stripped-back presentation allowed the substantial talent of the cast and musicians to shine through.

‘GODZ’ was arresting.

‘GODZ’ from Head First Acrobats is playing at Wynnum Fringe after being a hit at the Adelaide Fringe, Melbourne Fringe and Perth Fringe. ‘GODZ’ has arrived in Brisbane bringing their mixture of storytelling, circus and physical theatre to Wynnum, and poking fun at organised religion and hetero-normative masculinity along the way.

‘First Casualty’ was potent.

Artistic Director Lee Lewis leads an emboldened and dexterous cast in ‘First Casualty’. The actors portray the diverse, dedicated and disheartened serving soldiers, who fuse as a pack to tell Christopher Johnston’s harrowing stories from his memories as a soldier in Iraq and Afghanistan.

‘The Mousetrap’ was iconic.

In a world where musicals dominate much of our stage time, ‘The Mousetrap’ really holds its own, solidifying why it’s one of the longest-running plays in history.

‘Death in a Statesman’ was beguiling.

With a robust cast and highly stylised staging, the creative forces at debase have created a remarkable production.

‘Moonlight Ballet’ was effervescent.

Split into two distinctively different, but equally vibrant acts, ‘Moonlight Ballet’ was an effervescent double bill.
