Review: My Brilliant Career (Sydney Theatre Company)

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.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Addams Family and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying among the shows to get a Hayes makeover.
Steve Martin and Edie Brickell's bluegrass musical is a heart-on-sleeve winner with everyone on stage a quadruple threat.
It's a sweep for Victorian Opera's Candide, Belvoir's Counting and Cracking and Melbourne Theatre Company's My Brilliant Career.
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.
Griffin's Lewis Trilogy, STC's Stolen and the indie hit The Inheritance among the shows picked by the critics as 2024's best.
This musical adaptation is as feisty and audacious as the Australian literary classic’s protagonist and author.
