The Quizzical Mr Jeff – 4 stars
This one-man circus/magic show feels like a much larger production that just one person. Each magical move is carefully choreographed to the music to add impact and suspense at the same time. Mr Jeff works the audience like one of his mystifying props with lots of gasps of awe and cheers for more. The show opens with hat juggling and progresses through hoop tricks, magic balls and object manipulation, all...
Pamela’s Palace – 5 stars

That’s exactly what this show brings to life; 4 actors with scripts in hands, standing...

From the first note of the piano accordion, I was entranced by Anya’s world of song, as she reflects on current events and social movements. The original music is beautiful, the lyrics witty, and Anya, in her white spandex one-piece, fills the theatre with...
