Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at Crown Theatre
by David Bravos - Feb 19, 2025
Despite having not touring Perth since 2013, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR is still familiar to many, with many versions since its original release. Indeed, the stunning soundtrack precedes the musical, showing how it can stand alone and indeed gives many a fair idea of the musical without having to step foot in a theatre. What was originally conceived as a rock opera enjoys an updated vision that more suits the modern audience, with a stunning show that leans more into performance and rock music.

Review: HAIRSPRAY at Melbourne's Regent Theatre
by Josh Stent - Aug 18, 2022
Hey Melbourne, welcome to the 60's! It's time to put on your most colourful and crazily patterned outfit, tease your hair big, bold, and beautiful, and head on down to the Regent Theatre. Hairspray is back and this time it's the original Broadway version of the musical! Having grown up listening to the original Broadway cast album, it was a sheer delight for a theatre nerd like me to see the original version of Hairspray here in Australia. Seeing this production's opening night performance which coincided exactly 20 years from Hairspray's Broadway premiere was also a big fat cherry on the top! While some elements of the original version do now feel slightly dated and some of this production's casting choices don't always allow Hairspray's vibrant characters to shine as brightly as one would like, you can't deny that this show is just so much fun. From the moment the show opens with 'Good Morning Baltimore' to the standing ovation worthy finale of 'You Can't Stop The Beat', Hairspray will put a smile on your face and have you dancing in your seat.
