Bit of a different writing format than usual but THE BIG ONE! The musical of musicals! Les Miserables! And WHAT A PRODUCTION! It was darn near perfect- in my mind lead by the most wonderful of Javert’s (my favourite character in Les Mis) Hayden Tee. Incredible voice, and lovely guy! But everyone was wonderful, and …
Aida is probably not my most favourite opera, and I’ve since decided that perhaps all Verdi operas are not really my thing, but you could literally see anything on the outdoor stage they build specifically for Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour and it will still take your breath away. Wow as always Sydney- you really …
Le Noir was pretty cool, although it really takes a lot for me to find these circus act shows impressive. Maybe I’ve seen too many and the stunts (although really incredible displays of human capability) get a little repetitive? I guess the standout in this case was that the performances are reallyyyy close. Originally posted …
I really like this musical, especially the recording with Brian Stokes Mitchell ❤ "The Impossible Dream" is of course one of the Great Songs of Musical Theatre Repertoire, but there are so many other great pieces in this musical too. I was so glad Squabbalogic was able to put this one on so I could finally …

Frank Wildhorn is releasing a new musical this year! ‘Death Note The Musical’! YES! My most favourite musical composer creating a new musical based on one of my most favourite animes! Frank Wildhorn is no doubt the master of dark and deeply moving musicals, with his credits including ‘Dracula‘, ‘Jekyll & Hyde’, ‘The Scarlet Pimpernel’, ‘Rudolf‘, …
On the 19th of January I was lucky enough to be invited along by the Korean Tourism Office to “Ukchuk-Ga: Pansori Mother Courage”, which was being performed at the Sydney Opera House as part of the 2015 Sydney Festival. Ukchuk-Ga is a Pansori adaption of the famous German play “Mother Courage” by Bertolt Brecht. In …
Not going to lie- this was probably right up there with my least favourite things I’ve seen. Just not my style- too many depressing thoughts. The Director’s note: “Nioukhine outlines a detailed, ridiculous, distressing and absurd portrait of a futile existence”. No thanks, not for me. Originally posted on The AU Review. — There are …
After Music Core we headed towards the D-Cube City, which houses the D-Cube Arts Centre, which is where Rudolf was showing! I hadn’t been to D-Cube before but it was really interesting! I guess it was kind of a megaplex of shops, restaurants, a hotel and the theatre. To be honest though, I was pretty glad we had Adela with …
Well now here’s something different- I had forgotten I wrote this one! Basically I’m a huge film score nerd (I even wrote my Honours thesis about the key processes and methods of film composition) and I decided to do an article about some of my favourites that were released back in 2014! Maybe one day …
