Fuccbois Live in Concert → Adelaide Fringe

This band is every woman’s worst nightmare. Yet somehow these lovable goofs have made their way into the hearts of millions of fans, and Adelaide Fringe gets the pleasure of seeing their final show EVER as a boy band. Fuccbois Live in Concert is an absolute riot from start to finish! I think I died laughing. 


The band consists of Brendan, Brandon, Tyler and Also Brendan, who are played by an amazing cast of women in male drag: Bridie Connell, Clara Harrison, Vidya Makan, Megan Walshe. The show also features Orya Golgowsky as Micaela, The Tour Manager. 


The audience is instantly thrown into the stadium filled with 90,000 fans, as the band just tries to get through their final show without any major, career-ending debacles. You will have to see for yourself if they actually get through it…! 


The cast just nail the exaggerated mannerisms and every stereotype that exists about a group of talentless lads who skyrocketed to fame. From the band member who falls in love with every second girl in the crowd, to the one who “stumbles” across feminist texts, they are all incredibly cheeky and with huge, swaggering personalities. Their actions and choreography are timed to perfection and the comedy does not let up! This group had the audience in stitches! 


Bridie Connell’s original songs written for the work are pure genius. The songs poke constant jabs at f**ckboy culture and performative male stereotypes, and in true satirical fashion, these lads are completely clueless to it all. Each song hits with its crude humour and poppy beats. Real question, when is this cast album going to drop?


Even when the show is over, the Fuccbois are still in character outside taking pictures with the fans, who knew nothing about them an hour ago! 


Seeing the Fuccbois live will be the best concert you will ever attend. This is a show not to miss this Fringe!

Footloose → Metropolitan Musical Theatre Company

Image
You b etter kick off your Sunday Shoes Adelaide, The Metropolitan Musical Theatre Company’s current production of Footloose is here to take us back to the 80s! If you’ve somehow never known the plot of Footloose, it begins when big-city teen Ren McCormack moves to the small town of Bomont, and is shocked to discover that dancing is banned. Determined to challenge this law, Ren aims to convince the town’s strongest voice, Reverend Shaw Moore, all whilst falling for his headstrong daughter, Ariel. With the iconic 80s hits you know, Footloose is a celebration of youth, freedom, and the euphoric power of dance. Directed by Matt Smith, The MET’s show brings together a diverse range of local performers to bring this show to life. Lachlan Stieger is the charming Ren McCormack - who is impressively taking on his first lead role! Playing Ariel is the incredible Vasileia Markou who has a standout voice, especially in ‘Holding Out For A Hero’ and ‘Almost Paradise.’ Together, these two had clearl...

When We Dead Awaken → Loc'ally Theatr

Image
  For only its second production, Loc’ally Theatr has chosen to confront the weighty, introspective world of iconic playwright Henrik Ibsen in their reinterpretation of When We Dead Awaken. For those unfamiliar, Ibsen’s work is certainly challenging theatrical territory, however the cast delivered a confident and thoughtful performance of this deeply psychological work.  When We Dead Awaken is Ibsen’s final play, a reflective and symbolic piece about artistic ambition, lost love, and the acceptance of death. The story follows sculptor Arnold Rubek, who is vacationing with his young wife Maia. Their strained marriage is disrupted by the sudden reappearance of Irena, Rubek’s former muse, whose intense presence reawakens memories and buried desires. As the two reconnect, they confront what was lost. In their search for redemption and meaning, they ascend a mountain together, in a final act that blurs the line between awakening and death.  Despite the challenges of performi...

The 25th Annual Putnam Country Spelling Bee → Funk Soul Productions

Image
  R-O-L-L-I-C-K-I-N-G: an adjective to describe Funk Soul’s Production of the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. meaning: exuberantly lively and amusing . I was very excited to return to a Funk Soul Production to kick off my 2026 season of community theatre. Last year’s production of ‘The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals’ was a personal standout, and after last night, I continue to remain utterly impressed at what a theatre company with an average age of 22 years old can accomplish! The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee follows a group of zany middle school students competing in a local championship spelling bee. However, the audience is quick to learn that this competition is about more than just spelling, as the contestants reveal their personal insecurities, inner quirks and suppressed dreams. As the students continue to fire back correct answers to (suspiciously made up) words, the pressure mounts too high for some, revealing the vulnerability and resilience of pre-adole...
