Once at The Regal Theatre

Review: SEUSSICAL THE MUSICAL at Regal Theatre

I once asked a friend for recommendations of good musicals, and they suggested SEUSSICAL THE MUSICAL. Having finally had the chance to see it thanks to HAMA Productions' I can readily see why my friend answered so quickly, and Seussical immediately becomes one of my favourites on the back of a wonderful retelling with top quality cast and staging.

BWW Review: ONCE at Regal Theatre

ONCE has taken the world by storm. Beginning as a 2007 movie, it went to Broadway in 2011 where it won multiple awards. It played to sold out audiences in Sydney,and Perth can count itself lucky to be hosting it now. The hype is justified, the awards fully with merit, and it is no stretch to say that witnessing this musical is an absolute pleasure.

BWW Review: BARE: A POP OPERA at Subiaco Arts Centre

BWW Review: BRAN NUE DAE at The Regal Theatre

It's been 30 years since Bran Nue Dae was first brought to the stage at UWA's Octagon Theatre for the 1990 Festival of Perth. Its full-circle return to Perth brings the groundbreaking musical to The Regal Theatre in Subiaco, as an Opera Conference Production in association with Perth Festival. For those of us who weren't around in Perth in '90, and who have only come to know the musical through the film version made in 2009, this revival is timely and sorely needed.
