This is, quite frankly, one of the best shows that I have seen all year.
The show starts with the most spectacular medley of 90s television theme songs that you are ever likely to hear. It ends with a song that gets you right in the feels, about all those things that 90s television promised us all about life as adults, which never really turned out to be true… and in the middle is a series of original songs, pop-quizzes and hilarious banter (in and out of character).
We have all had that moment with a friend where someone says “God we’re funny, we should have our own show”… except that this is actually a show worth watching.
Lauren Edwards and Jude Perl are fantastic actresses, amazing musicians and really witty comedians. Although they may seem perfect, they even put each on the spot with impromptu quote challenges and accent hiccoughs, which only serves to make them more endearing.
A 90s Sitcom Special runs until the end of the week. I wouldn’t advise missing it. However, if you do, Jude Perl (50% of this talented due) is rumoured to have a show of her own featuring at The Butterfly club in the coming week.

The Book of Mormon
It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.
My Brilliant Career | Melbourne Theatre Company
Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.
Afterglow | Midnight Theatricals
However earnest and inarguably lovely it is to look at, the pedestrian sexual indulgence and relationship traumas of New York 'A' gays penned 9 years ago doesn't feel particularly urgent.
Cluedo The Play
Cluedo is an energetically performed ensemble farce that either toyed with surprising us, or missed opportunities to do so.
West Gate | Melbourne Theatre Company
At 11.50am on October 15 1970, 35 men fell to their death as their place of work gave way from under them.
Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.
It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.
