It’s the ultimate variety show – a glittering, modern nod to the glamour and over-the-top glitz of yesteryear on the famous Las Vegas glitter strip.

Miss Peony may be to the Australian Chinese, what ‘Wog Boy’ was to the Australian Greek community – a way to portray complex experiences wrapped up in humour. Or, in other words, to slip political and cultural messages into a comedy.

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’.
