⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Adam Hall is a stalwart of the Perth music scene. Together with his band, The Velvet Playboys, they are the go tos if you want to enjoy a night of jazz, swing, rhythm and blues. So what happens when you combine them with The Cuban Young Guns, a talented collective of musicians direct from…

Fringe: The Amazing Human Adventure
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We absolutely need more women in Science. So when I heard that The B-Plot Girls was running a science-related show for kids at Fringe, I had to check it out for myself. Angela Leta Kaye is a biomedical scientist and with some help of a doctor friend, she’s crafted an introductory show to the…
Fringe: Charlie Caper: Robot MAGIC
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and a half. Charlie Caper is no amateur. He is an award winning magician who also happens to be a Sweden’s Got Talent winner. So we know we’re in for a good time. However, Caper ALSO happens to be a robotics expert. He’s Chief Creative Officer at Furhat Robotics, which is focused on creating…
Fringe: Break a Leg: Perth’s Finest Ballet School Dropouts
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Goodness, gracious me. These ballerinas aren’t just dropouts. They’re miscreants shedding the rigidity of the form and bringing their strength and sass to cabaret. I loved that, true to modern burlesque, we didn’t see just the typical ballet figure. What a fabulous middle finger to society it was, to see the curvy girls show…
Fringe: Villains
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and a half. Calling all Lamingtons! The Hairy Godmother is back! This time, instead of a quest for true love, we’re being taken on a wicked exploration of what it takes to be a villain. In Villains, our protagonist/antagonist, Vil is tired of society’s expectations. After a lifetime of conformity, she is on a…
Fringe: WA Exposé
⭐️⭐️⭐️ and a half. WA Exposé sells itself as a rapid-fire variety show that allows audiences to experience a wide range of performance arts. From drag and burlesque, to comedy and circus, the aim of the show is to well, expose, people to art forms they may not otherwise consider. It sounds like a great…
Fringe: Bogan Shakespeare Presents: Romeo and Juliet
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Shakespeare is revered for being a master playwright. However, as pretty as his words are, they do not hold the attention of the masses. Unless someone in majoring in English at university or has a special interest in Shakespeare, people are not inclined to spend time dissecting the text and examining the historical context….
Fringe: Impromptunes: Tune Your Own Adventure
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am a big fan of improvisational comedy (improv); I love watching how quick improv artists are thinking on their feet. One of my favourite improv comedians is Wayne Brady. He is known to come up with full songs, complete with dance moves, at the drop of a hat. When I heard that the…
Anora
Anora revolves around Ani, a young Brooklyn sex worker who meets a Russian oligarch’s son during her shift. Sparks fly and ignite a whirlwind week of (paid) hedonism for Ani, finally culminating in an impulsive marriage in a Vegas chapel. Is this another Pretty Woman? Aside from Ani being a sex worker and her beau…
Under Streetlights
Under Streetlights opens on a somber note. Eighteen year old Ella has just lost her mother. While taking a breather from the wake, she hears music and is instantly drawn to it. She is impressed to learn that it is one of the bar staff’s creations. Izak, records at home, a ramshackle house in the…
