After a Good Friday off, Metro Street is back today with another two performances and then another two weeks in which Adelaide audiences can see Matthew Robinson’s new Australian musical. As a friend of mine mentioned yesterday, there aren’t many new Australian musicals, so this is (in Adam’s words) part of Australian theatre history!
Verity Hunt-Ballard steals the show as Kerry, the loud country bogan with (predictably) a heart of gold.
Read the review from the Messenger News.
Impeccable cast, staging and music hit all the right notes.
Review by Murray Bramwell in The Australian.
“But it is Byrnes’s spine-tingling solo, Dignity, Sue’s overwhelming cry from the heart at her impending death, that especially reveals Robinson’s ambition and his memorable achievement.”
For years now, Australian movies have been obsessed with the grit and grime of everyday life. Now, music theatre gets in on the act with Metro Street, a modern musical about suburban angst.
Review from IndependentWeekly.com
From Australian Stage Online – Metro Street is a stellar new show that propels Australian musical theatre into a new galaxy.
