Editor's Choice Pretty Woman: The Musical

JONES Theatrical Group: Pretty Woman: The Musical

QPAC Corner Melbourne St and Grey St, South Bank, QLD, Australia
When Pretty Woman: The Musical opened on Broadway in 2018, the reviews weren’t kind, but audiences didn’t care. The show ran there for a year and has since been produced around the world, including in London’s West End. Based on the 1990 film starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, the…
School of Rock

Theatrical: School of Rock

The National Theatre, St Kilda 20 Carlisle Street, St Kilda, VIC, Australia
School of Rock is the full-throttle musical from Andrew Lloyd Webber that explodes off the stage with guitar-smashing energy. From the creator of Jesus Christ Superstar comes a wild ride where one wannabe rockstar turns a class of straight-A kids into a mind-blowing live band. These young performers don’t fake…
Phar Lap The Musical

Hayes Theatre Co: Phar Lap The Musical

Hayes Theatre Co 19 Greenknowe Avenue, Elizabeth Bay, NSW, Australia
Not just another absurdist, electro-swing musical comedy about a thoroughbred racehorse, Phar Lap is a rags-to-riches story with a big heart. If you’re thinking elaborate life-size puppetry and dazzling special effects, you couldn’t be more wrong (we don’t have the budget). Suspend your disbelief as an actor swaps his horseshoes…

The Australian Shakespeare Company:

Athenaeum Theatre 188 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
Identity, community, global responsibility and peace, HAIR remains relevant as ever as it examines what it means to be a young person in a changing world. The tribal love rock musical, HAIR celebrates the sixties counterculture in all its barefoot, long-haired, bell-bottomed, beaded and fringed glory. To an infectiously energetic…
The Pajama Game

Neglected Musicals: The Pajama Game

Foundry Theatre 55 Pirrama Rd,, Pyrmont, NSW, Australia
Winner of the 1955 Tony Award for Best Musical—and more than 50 years later, the Tony Award for Best Revival—The Pajama Game is a timeless tale of love, labour, and laughter. With an fantastic score by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross the musical features beloved theatre standards including Hey There,…
Chess – The Musical

NOVA Music Theatre: Chess – The Musical

The Round 379 - 399 Whitehorse Road,, Nunawading, VIC
When American grandmaster Freddie Trumper faces off against Russian champion Anatoly Sergievsky, their rivalry extends beyond the chessboard. With Cold War tensions rising and political forces at play, chess second Florence Vassy finds herself torn between loyalty, love, and ambition. With lyrics by Tim Rice (Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita) and…

Theatre Royal, Sydney 108 King St, Sydney, NSW, Australia
Laura Murphy’s electrifying musical The Lovers, inspired by The Bard’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, was first staged by Bell Shakespeare in 2022.

Editor's Choice The Book of Mormon

JONES Theatrical Group: The Book of Mormon

Capitol Theatre, Sydney 13 Campbell St, Haymarket, NSW
Hello! The Mormons are back! First seen in Australia in 2017, The Book of Mormon is blasphemous, scurrilous, puerile, rude, satirical – and one of the funniest, sweetest, most joyous musicals ever staged. Written by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, with Robert Lopez, the 2011 show won…
