Theatre – Next To Normal – The Opera Studio – 5K

There are no weak links in this show and it will rightfully draw audiences back for a second or third viewing. This is the finest musical theatre produced in Adelaide for a long time. 5K

Pari Passu – Touch – Leigh Warren Dancers – The Space til 26th May – 4K

A highly creative work that brilliantly works its various elements together without ever confusing just exactly what audience members have actually come to see. Another dance gem for Adelaide in this month of May. 4K

Riverdance – Festival Theatre until May 20 – 5K

Definitely a must see for the whole family, Riverdance is full of energy and Irish happiness. Beware some new young dancers may be discovered during the interval of this 2 hour performance. 5K

Circa – Her Majesty’s Til 19th May – 5K

May seems to dance month in Adelaide this year and unless Leigh Warren and his troupe have some real surprises in store tonight, Circa comfortably tops the ratings. What a show, what strength, what grace, what characters. 5K

Those who can appreciate theatre as an experience rather than just an exercise in storytelling will reap the rewards on offer from this production. 4K

South Pacific – Arts Theatre – Til 19th May – 4.5K

You are not going to get a better amateur theatre company rendition of this or any similar musical than the Met’s South Pacific. Those attending who were almost universally there to trip out on that memory lane lapped it all up. 4.5K

Namatjira – Her Majesty’s – til 12 May – 3.5K

There is nothing in the razzle, dazzle line about Namatjira but the story is an interesting, moving and (sadly still) a contemporary one. Jamieson deserves far more attention than he gets and as truly Australian sagas, there are few better. 3.5K
