Review: ROMEO AND JULIET at State Theatre Centre

Review: ROMEO AND JULIET at State Theatre Centre

by David Bravos · June 15, 2026

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

Review: MJ: THE MICHAEL JACKSON MUSICAL at Crown Theatre

by David Bravos · June 12, 2026

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

Review: COMPANY at Studio Underground At State Theatre Centre

by David Bravos · June 11, 2026

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

Review: SPAMALOT at Planet Royale

by David Bravos · May 24, 2026

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

Review: THE SHEPHERD'S HUT at State Theatre Centre

by David Bravos · May 18, 2026

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

Review: WHICH WAY HOME at Subiaco Arts Centre

by David Bravos · May 1, 2026

WHICH WAY HOME, currently playing at the Subiaco Arts Centre, is a beautiful, deeply moving piece of theatre that radiates authenticity and emotional truth.

Review: PRETTY WOMAN: THE MUSICAL at Crown Theatre

Review: PRETTY WOMAN: THE MUSICAL at Crown Theatre

by David Bravos · April 23, 2026

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…

Review: ANASTASIA THE MUSICAL at Crown Theater

Review: ANASTASIA THE MUSICAL at Crown Theater

by David Bravos · March 6, 2026

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…

Review: NOW YOU SEE ME at Crown Theatre

Review: NOW YOU SEE ME at Crown Theatre

by David Bravos · January 27, 2026

There's lots to see in Perth at the moment, and a different kind of spectacle is proving that big-budget showmanship still has a place in the Perth summer. NOW YOU SEE ME LIVE takes the 'magician-vigilante' DNA of the films and strips away the CGI, replacing it with something far more impressive: ac…
