Adapted from the movie about a not so dumb blonde girl who loses the love she’s been chasing, but finds new belief in herself, Legally Blonde was a triumph as a movie, but a mixed success as a musical. With no obvious hit numbers or 11 O’clock smashes, it relies on a steady but not exceptional score and book and the strength of the production. The last mainstage production in Australia was fairly lacklustre, and I can’t say I liked it. What I CAN say about this Footlight production is …I absolutely, positively and without reservation LOVED it.

Australian Open doesn’t happen on a tennis court and really it isn’t about on the court tennis at all. 

Primal is the kind of out-there show that people think of when they think of Fringe Festivals but has two great things in its favor. 1. This show is very, very good. 2. No sticky tent for this one - you’re in the most comfortable venue in Fringe World.

It is fabulous that the Fringe World Festival really caters to all ages and tastes - and this show, playing at the heritage listed Old Mill Theatre, is a fabulous choice for the Primary Set.

This one-wizard show opens unconventionally and continues with multiple surprises throughout, that had the young audience yelling with enthusiasm and bouncing in their seats (which is fine because Old Mill’s steep rake ensures everyone can see).
