BWW Review: IF/THEN at Gryphon Theatre
by Aimee Smith - December 06, 2018
We've all spent time wondering about the little 'what ifs' - how would our lives be changed, if we had made our decisions a little differently? The musical If/Then, by Brian Yorkey and Tom Kitt, explores one woman's fascination with the road not taken. Boasting a small but mighty cast, the Wellington Footlights society bring this intimate tale to the New Zealand stage for the first time. If/Then drops us smack-bang into the heart of New York City, where the freshly divorced Elizabeth (Cassandra Tse) has just moved for a new start. In Madison Park, Elizabeth runs into her new friend, Kate (Caitlin Penrose), and old college flame, Lucas (Michael Stebbings). Both of them give Elizabeth advice on how to start out her new life - Kate suggests plunging into new experiences under a fresh nickname, Liz, whilst Lucas suggests joining him in a rally like they did in the old days, under the nickname Beth. Here, the show splits, and we see the two different paths of Elizabeth's life play out.

BWW Review: NELL GWYNN at Dolphin Theatre
by Monica Moore - November 25, 2018
Director Syd Mannion and his team have encapsulated the essence of what this story is about and this is the crucial success of this production. The characters are sensationally played; they are charismatic, exquisitely presented in delicious period costume and the story is supported with a craftily constructed set.

BWW Review: SHORTLAND STREET THE MUSICAL at ASB Waterfront Theatre
by Monica Moore - November 20, 2018
Shortland St the Musical. Was that a sharp intake of breath? What madness is this? At least, that was my reaction when I first heard that this show was being developed into a full-length musical comedy. I have seen little bits and pieces of the long-running soap, but I never really recognised what my other friends saw in it and therefore chose to block it out of my television browsing hours. I do feel compelled however to pay homage to the long-standing show, well into its third decade and has been sold to many overseas countries.

BWW Review: BIG FISH at Off Broadway Theatre
by Monica Moore - November 20, 2018
I was intrigued to see how the producers would breathe life into this and they have crafted a show that takes you on a bittersweet journey that is incredibly moving. And yes....you will cry. I am slightly annoyed at them for making me cry in public, I like to keep up my tough guy reputation...but I could not hold back.

by Monica Moore - October 30, 2018
The much-loved characters of yesteryear are brought to life in this resplendent production that more than pays homage to the 1939 movie version of this show.

BWW Previews: THE WIZ at Spotlight Theatre Manukau Performing Arts
by Monica Moore - October 26, 2018
Manukau Performing Arts production of 'The Wiz' is an exuberant journey down the yellow brick road in an original Pasifika Panto style. It's entertaining, energetic and brimming with talent. The diverse cast is bound in the unity of voice; each with a rich, unique sound that complements the funky soulful and bluesy music score. The singing is stunning. Any of those voices could slip into a New York nightclub with ease.

BWW Review: GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL! Silly Spoof Delights Newtown
by Aimee Smith - October 05, 2018
Bud and Doug have achieved the dream of many a musical theatre fan - they have written their own show. They have poured blood, sweat, and tears into their story, and they are here in the Newtown Community Centre to pitch their work to their eager audience. And of course, a fair bit of sweat comes with the performing as well as the writing. Because Bud and Doug are the only performers in this two act musical extravaganza.
