Proudly local, Elizabeth born, Debora Krizak is one of Australia's most critically acclaimed entertainers. Accompanied by a four-piece band, led by renowned music teacher and performer Darren Mapes, Krizak shares her musical favourites from shows such as A Chorus Line, where she professionally performed the role of Sheila Bryant, Cabaret and Sweet Charity. Krizak looks two million dollars; clad in a fitted blue and silver, side split evening gown. She struts and sashays, rhinestones catching the light, feeding the glamour factor.

In a year where it seems that we are getting many male centred productions, it is lovely to see a female led favourite pop up again. Laughing Horse Productions’ Steel Magnolias is a wonderful celebration of the strength of women and the importance and power of female friendships.

Following a successful regional tour of Charlotte’s Web, RAVA Productions has once again reimagined classic children’s fiction with a delightful production of The Wind in the Willows.

With a troupe of four seasoned performers and bright but minimal sets and costumes, this show was enjoyable in its simplicity and will translate well into a regional tour, as intended.

Mamma Mia! is Koorliny Arts Centre’s first home produced show in over twelve months, and this fun, vibrant show was definitely worth the wait.

Sounding great, under the leadership of Musical Director Kate McIntosh, leading an unseen six-piece band, this show also looks amazing. Director Brad Tudor gives us a simple but evocative set design and a stunning costume palette, where colour is used to excellent effect. Lighting design, by Jon Lambert, is colourful and bold, with a dance club feel.
