Review: The Garage Band

There will be many of us who will identify with this one, having only ever ‘rehearsed’ in the garage and never made it to the stadium stages… ‘If only’ we had turned left then we would have made it to the big time…

Review: Love You Hate You Drive You Wild

Minola Theatre has attracted a strong cast for this PIP Theatre production—a funny and heartening tale that comes with warnings of themes of depression and suicide.

Review: Firebringer

The preview audience was treated to an enthusiastic performance, and I am sure that StarKids fans will be flocking to this show

Review: Absolute Trash

Glitter Martini’s Absolute Trash is creative, saucy, funny, skilful, and occasionally spellbinding. And a great opportunity to see Trent Charles’s Natrasha Binit…

Review: Credulous

In a Moment is a clever, funny, and beautifully observed piece of writing that encourages us all to think about the moments of connection, love, and friendship across our lives.

The Queensland premiere of Angus Cameron’s witty Australian Open is perfectly timed to coincide with ‘that’ Melbourne January tennis tournament. If you can drag yourself away from watching televised sport, Australian Open is a great choice for an evening out with friends.

Review: Scandalton—A Yuletide Regency Romp

Scandalton is the perfect choice for a fun, and slightly saucy, pre-Christmas night out with a group of friends or colleagues. Just warn lovers of Jane Austen that this is period drama, but not quite as they know it.

Review: Women Like Us

Sadly, the highly successful 10-year tour of Women Like Us ends this week. If you can still find tickets, just go. 2024 has been a challenging year for most, and we all really can do with a good laugh. You don’t have to be female, or over-50, to enjoy this show.

Review: Ickoholics Anonymous

Ickoholics Anonymous is definitely one to see: a witty, well-observed, cabaret showcase of the writing, acting, singing, and comic talents of Lucy Lucia.
