Like a deliciously addictive treat, cabaret performer, Michael Griffiths, leaves you wanting more and more. Successfully combining cabaret with storytelling, this Helpmann Award Winner, sits at a piano and appears to oh so effortlessly, play and sing and raconteur.

If you’re looking for a kids gig that is worthy of the ticket price these school holidays, then this chaotic, interactive circus production featuring the fruits of Lewis Carrol’s mind is definitely a front-runner.

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’.

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.
