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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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. …
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…
There is something inherently comforting about a Movie-to-Musical adaptation that knows exactly what it is. PRETTY WOMAN: THE MUSICAL, currently playing at Crown Theatre, doesn't attempt to reinvent the wheel or modernize the 1990 classic into something unrecognizable. Instead, it leans into the neo…
There is something undeniably magical about a story that leans into its own whimsy, and ANASTASIA THE MUSICAL, now playing at Crown Theatre, does exactly that. Following its successful Melbourne run, the Broadway hit has finally arrived in Perth, bringing with it a sense of old-school theatrical gra…
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,...
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...
