Editor's Choice Hadestown

JONES Theatrical Group: Hadestown

Theatre Royal, Sydney 108 King St, Sydney, NSW, Australia
Anaïs Mitchell’s contemporary musical theatre retelling of the doomed love story of Orpheus and Eurydice is cleverly combined with another Greek myth – Hades’ abduction of Persephone, the goddess of the seasons.

Hayes Theatre Co 19 Greenknowe Avenue, Elizabeth Bay, NSW, Australia

Editor's Choice Bloom

Sydney Theatre Company: Bloom

Roslyn Packer Theatre 22 Hickson Rd, Sydney, NSW, Australia
This new Australian musical played to sold-out houses when it premiered at Melbourne Theatre Company in 2023. The fact that Tom Gleisner of Working Dog fame (The Castle, The Dish, Utopia, Have You Been Paying Attention?) wrote the book and lyrics was doubtless part of the appeal. Bloom (with music…
Editor's Choice Calamity Jane

Queensland Theatre: Calamity Jane

Bille Brown Theatre 78 Montague Rd, South Brisbane, QLD
First seen at Sydney’s Hayes Theatre Co in 2107, Richard Carroll’s inspired, side-splitting production, starring Virginia Gay in the title role, proved an enormous hit.
