Kat of the Musicals

This was actually super fun, I really enjoyed it! It was the story from the movie per se, but it had a lot of similar elements. Would definitely see it again! “Sometimes being pretty, it’s enough” haha, still laughing. Originally posted on The AU Review. — Bring It On was (and still is) one of my favourite …

Graeme Murphy’s latest production of Puccini’s Turandot is nothing less than absolutely stunning- beautiful sets, soaring music and the incredible tenor Yonghoon Lee. …

Excitement! Originally posted on The AU Review. — The sexy Paris burlesque feeling, the lavishness of French cabaret and the glamour of fine dining …

This wasn’t an immensely popular production, but I thought it was alright! I laughed quite a bit, and that’s always a good sign 🙂 Originally posted on The AU Review. — Two ageing Broadway divas, who have long since seen the comforting warmth of the Hollywood spotlight, are brought together again for the hopeful work …

Unfortunately this was another miss for me. Although some of the performances were good, overall I thought the dancing was average (for that level of production). The music tracks didn’t seem to work with the dances too (especially the live singing), and it was just a bit… boring. I do remember the “Take Me To …
