REVIEW: RENT Returns To Sydney with a Large Scale Production for the Joan Sutherland Theatre at the Sydney Opera House.
by Jade Kops - Oct 3, 2025
Director Shaun Rennie delivers his third imagining of RENT, this time in his biggest staging of the musical to date in the Joan Sutherland Theatre of Sydney Opera House. 32 years after Jonathan Larson’s (Music, Book, Lyrics) musical theatre adaptation of Giacomo Puccini’s La Bohème was first presented as a workshop production in the off-Broadway New York Theatre Workshop in 1993, almost 30 years after it’s Broadway debeut at the Nederlander Theatre in 1996, and 27 years after it’s Australian premiere at the Theatre Royal in 1998, the “rock opera” retains a relevance.
Review: THE LION KING Reigns Supreme at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts
by Albert Gutierrez - Apr 25, 2025
Life's greatest tragedy is the passage of time. It is a lesson we all must learn eventually. Within the proverbial circle of life, there is only a beginning and an end that occurs in the immediacy of our own lifetime. Yet, the cyclical nature of birth, death, and rebirth ensures that our spirit will carry on in legacy rather than in flesh. If we are loved, then we are remembered. And if we are remembered, then we live forever. Disney’s The Lion King transposes this message from screen to stage through an international collaboration of talent that supercedes the strength of the 1994 animated film from which it came.

India's Independence Celebrates With Lady Liberty At Sunset For Battery Dance Festival
by Cindy Sibilsky - Sep 9, 2019
It was fitting that Manipuri dance was chosen to commemorate India Independence Day, because during British colonial rule the dances were ridiculed as savage, immoral and outdated. Fortunately, thanks to India's independence, the help of activists, scholars and performers revitalizing ancient yet timeless traditions, and organizations like Battery Dance Festival, Manipuri dance can continue to thrive not only in India but on the world's stage. Lord Krishna must be pleased!

Cabaret. It's 1931 in Germany, a country of unrest. We find ourselves at the Kit Kat Klub, a seedy cabaret, a place of decadence and emotional abandonment. Hanging over the entire scene is the aura of the growth of the Nazi party and the impending reign of terror.

BWW Review: OUTSIDE MULLINGAR Proves to be John Patrick Shanley's Most Personal Play
by Shari Barrett - Nov 20, 2015
John Patrick Shanley has won many accolades throughout his career as a poet and playwright. The author of more than 23 plays, including 80 productions in North America, Shanley won the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for his play “Doubt” and an Oscar for his screenplay, “Moonstruck.” But his identity as an Irish-American did not truly happen until 1993 when he traveled back to his family's farm in Ireland at the request of his ailing father who asked to be taken home. The trip back spoke to his poetic heart, and led to his romantic play OUTSIDE MULLINGAR.
