The pelican puppets in this production were so cool- so of course I had to ask about them! The interview was originally posted on Arts on the AU. — Set on the coast of Coorong in South Australia, the classic novel Storm Boy has long been a childhood favourite. The tale follows Hideaway Tom and his son …

I think what was most special to me about this performance is that I went with my mother 🙂 She is a primary school teacher and has taught this book often to her students and it has always been a favourite of hers- she even visited the location (although unfortunately it was completely dry when she …

I actually love thrillers that are all “WHAT THE HELLFIRE IS GOING ON” so this was right up my alley- and kept me in suspense right up to the end. Originally posted on The AU Review. — It’s that old question- How far would you go to get what you want? In Deathtrap we take …

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 …

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 …

Sunday! Wahhh… our last day of our magical trip in Seoul! But we may as well make the most of it, we thought! We got up relatively early and made sure to do the majority of our packing before heading down to consume basically the entire breakfast buffet. Over breakfast we decided on our plan of attack …

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 …
