FRINGE: Somewhere Under the Rainbow – Cabaret – The Big Slapple – 4K

While not quite capturing the feeling of their last two Fringe appearances, the Jane Austen Argument provide a night of quality, funny and moving original music. New comers are sure to be drawn in by their charisma and their album is a great addition to the collection. 4K

FRINGE – The Ballad of the Unbeatable Hearts – CIT – Higher Ground – 4.5K

Whilst this revewer generally eschews the use of the word ‘important’ when attached to theatre or movies, the Ballad of the Unbeatable Hearts is one exception worth making. 4.5K

FRINGE – Dr Brown Brown Brown – The Kid’s Show – The Garden – 4K

Desirable for children three to seven or eight years of age, this physical comedy will delight, with plenty for parents to smile about as well. 4K

FRINGE – A Doll’s House – Nexus – 1.5K

Other than for a few numbers, I found the rest to be a bit of a dull cat walk and false strip show.

FRINGE – Ladies In Waiting – Higher Ground – 4.5K

This piece is definitely a hit, with anyone who has a mother, sister, friend or lover able to very much relate to many of these thoughts that run through these ladies’ minds. 4.5K

FESTIVAL – Gardenia – 5K

There is everything in this show – reality, love, emotions, fun to laughter, which will leave you laughing at the start and entangled with emotions at the end. Not to be missed and exclusive to Adelaide. 5K

FRINGE: The Half – Theatre – Higher Ground – 4K

It is a fine balance to create a character that is necessarily a little over the top, but realistic enough to be hilarious, however Guy Masterson manages to do so. Thespians and theatre novices alike will find a lot to enjoy in The Half. 4K

FRINGE – Back of the Bus – Java Dance – 5K

This has to be one of the best shows on offer at this year’s fringe. The young dances are lively, engaging and keen to impress, with plenty of surprises that keep the audience on their toes. 5K

FRINGE – A Kick in the Head and other Seduction Techniques – 4.5K

Through the acts of being bad, adventures in nightclubbing, a strange relationship with a horse and an Italian accent, James McLean is certain to leave you with laughing as well as enjoy his fantastic interpretations of over 10 songs.

FRINGE: Drowning in Veronica Lake – Theatre – Holden Street Theatres – 4K

This is a very interesting look at the life of Veronica Lake and gives insight into the woman behind the Hollywood pin-up. It will have definite appeal for any fans of the late actress but is also an engaging and quality piece of theatre in its own right. 4K
