A double-take staging of a Hollywood classic the centrepiece of Malthouse Theatre's 2026 program.

From the conductor’s podium to opera’s power plays, November’s Limelight captures the people shaping Australia’s musical, operatic and theatrical future.

A round-up of our recent news reports.

“The goal isn’t just growth. It’s hunger. Risk. Joy." Helpmann Award-winning Dean Bryant to take over Melbourne's Malthouse.

In a series of delightfully excruciating theatre games, the underlying hurts of five ordinary people are gently revealed.

It's a sweep for Victorian Opera's Candide, Belvoir's Counting and Cracking and Melbourne Theatre Company's My Brilliant Career.

Poignant moments and a serious message, but Tom Gleisner's musical could do with further development.

Sluggish pre-sales end the tour of the hit Broadway show Dear Evan Hansen at the halfway point. Refunds on the way.

This musical adaptation is as feisty and audacious as the Australian literary classic’s protagonist and author.

This Australian premiere staging should tick all the boxes for Evan Hansen's antipodean fanbase.
