Review – Spontaneous Broadway
The conceit is brilliant: the audience submit song titles, and from them the cast improvise a musical on stage. It’s panicky, messy and infinitely entertaining theatre, as the audacious and talented cast manage the feat with aplomb.
Review – Dune
Dune can drive you dance, or move you to introspection, with their brand of savvy, vintage electronica.
Review – People of Letters
The Women of Letters concept, the brainchild of Marieke Hardy and Michaela McGuire, has developed a rabid following in recent years, due in large part to the unpredictability of the show.

Each member of the audience is offered a strip of wet flannel and a piece of dark chilli chocolate…
Review – Water Child
There is always something to applaud about a production that raises awareness of health and social issues.
Review – DeAnne Smith: LET’S DO THIS!
DeAnne Smith is down in Australia, she’s full of energy, and she’s going to do this! She’s going to nail it!
Review – Disco Bitch
With songs about topics ranging from where your boyfriend should and shouldn’t go to the ever fantastic Bill Murray, these kids get you giggling.
