Review: COME ALIVE! THE GREATEST SHOWMAN CIRCUS SPECTACULAR at The Hippodrome At Crown Perth
There is a genuine buzz in the air heading into The Hippodrome. The soundtrack to The Greatest Showman has spent years embedded in popular culture, so bringing those anthems under a big top naturally sets expectations high. When the show leans into its circus themes, it is nothing short of breathtak…
Review: THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK at Heath Ledger Theatre
It is a rare feat when a production can strip away the distance of history and force an audience to hold its collective breath, yet Drew Anthony Creative’s return season of THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK at the Heath Ledger Theatre does precisely that. Anchored by Chloë-Jean Vincent’s extraordinary p…
Review: STEEL MAGNOLIAS at His Majesty's Theatre
There’s nothing quite like sitting in a packed room and watching a cast seamlessly pull the audience from huge, rolling laughs straight into absolute heartbreak. Robert Harling’s STEEL MAGNOLIAS is famously tight, but this production at His Majesty’s Theatre completely thrives because director…
Review: ROMEO AND JULIET at State Theatre Centre
People know Romeo & Juliet. In fact, it feels to the point that people would be reasonably familiar with a somewhat modernised Romeo & Juliet. Indeed, the archetypal tragedy is so often pulled apart and rehashed that it can become tired. WAAPA’s third year acting students, keen to make an impressi…
Review: MJ: THE MICHAEL JACKSON MUSICAL at Crown Theatre
Michael Jackson’s ‘Dangerous’ world tour was ground breaking in many ways. Meticulously planned to go beyond merely memorable, even 30 years on there are parts of it that are truly unbelievable. Distilling the groundwork that went into making such a huge tour into a single musical theatre piec…
Review: COMPANY at Studio Underground At State Theatre Centre
COMPANY is a Sondheim classic, and there are many modern similarities that many could empathise with. In many ways it’s a very suitable production for the third year musical theatre students at WAAPA to tackle. Certainly, there is much in this production of COMPANY to remind us why these shows are…
Review: SPAMALOT at Planet Royale
What has four legs and makes a clip-clop noise as it walks? Why, a king and his servant of course. Monty Python’s SPAMALOT is every bit as absurd as its base material, expanded into a full musical, and exquisitely brought to life by Drew Anthony creative. SPAMALOT has catchy songs, excellent perfo…
Review: THE SHEPHERD'S HUT at State Theatre Centre
Adapting Tim Winton for the stage is a notorious tightrope walk. His prose is so deeply rooted in the heavy, breathing expanse of the Western Australian landscape that stripping it down to fit between three theatre walls always risks losing the very magic that makes his books work. …
Review: WHICH WAY HOME at Subiaco Arts Centre
WHICH WAY HOME, currently playing at the Subiaco Arts Centre, is a beautiful, deeply moving piece of theatre that radiates authenticity and emotional truth. Infused with warmth and a wonderful balance of humour and heart, this production from Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company celebrates belonging, memory…

How do we manage our finite resources? Is there any resource more infinite than love? From the stage of London's Almeida Theatre hails this epic, explosive play about empire, history, and motherhood as it charts the lifespan of one of our most precious commodities. Starring...
City Of Gold
Breythe is never just an actor. Always an Indigenous actor. Always in the black show, the black play. Put him in that Australia Day lamb ad. Get that authenticity. That's what the people want. Give them what they want. Get that big payday. Even if it draws criticism from your...
In the Next Room, or The Vibrator Play
Set in the 1880s, just after the advent of electricity, In the Next Room takes place in the adjoining parlour and consulting room of Dr Givings, who specialises in treating “hysteria” in women. Brisk, clinical and efficient in manner, he obsesses on the marvels of technology and...
