BWW Review: BRYCE HALLIDAY Goes Full-Steam Ahead in BACK TO BASICS at Hayes Theatre
by Brodie Paparella - July 05, 2016
Mix the face of Brick-era Ben Folds, with the musical talent of Tim Minchin, with the stagecraft of Ross Gellar's music career and you've got Bryce Halliday. An adorkable juxtaposition of vocal simplicity and production complexity. A comedy-jazz musician in his prime, Halliday is looking anachronistically back to bring the Hayes Theatre Cabaret audience something 'basic', a mission in which he fails most sublimely spectacularly.

BWW Review: SOMETHING ABOUT ALWAYS PULLS ON A LIFETIME OF HEARTSTRINGS at Hayes Theatre
by Brodie Paparella - July 03, 2016

In a show truly genuine and generous, Burke played remarkably in the moment, to present his audience with a journey that warmed the cockles of the Hayes Theatre Cabaret season's heart.

BWW Review: FLAME TREES TAKES A TWISTED TURN IN AUSTRALIANA TALE at Depot Theatre
by Brodie Paparella - June 28, 2016
Tales from our backyard need much more service in the broader scene, something Tunks Productions has long given local stories, and Flame Trees is no exception. The return of a young woman to the town she burned to a cinder several years ago is fraught with anger, regret and a huge secret. A tight-knit community is fractured by Tess' defiant return to reconnect with the family she lost in a piece reminiscent in tone and plotline of The Dressmaker.
