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.
Quirks of the source – and of the environment that sustains it – are cleanly exposed in a high-energy hour of physical comedy, delivered with moments of avian grace.
Iolanthe and Janet Anderson work in cosmic, comedic accord, characterisation charismatic, timing impeccable, delivery precise, together a tour de force that ascends the cliché.
There have been many single handers in recent years – all done excellently, with talent, creativity and salient messages. But this one stands out from them all.
Stomping, growling, jaw-dropping, Erth's Dinosaurs at the Sydney Opera House is a show that sparks wonder in kids and adults alike.
