Review: Gutenberg! The Musical! (Hayes Theatre Co)

Despite two brilliant performances, not all the humour lands in this show about writing a bad musical, because their creation is – well, bad.

Review: Calamity Jane (Sydney Opera House & One Eyed Man Productions)

No dead wood in this sharper, funnier and even more unruly reprise of the smash-hit musical about a frontier square peg and her search for love.

Review: The Pirates of Penzance (Hayes Theatre Co)

This G&S classic, performed by a cast of just five, is wonderfully silly, joyous fun, even though the second act could do with some finessing.

This refreshing take on the 1971 musical retains the show's exuberant, improvisational feel but gives it a more contemporary vibe.

Review: The Boomkak Panto (Belvoir)

This is a silly play for the silly season, tipsily leaning to the left. If you go with the good intention to have good time, there's a very good chance you will.
