From Beastly to Brilliant: A smorgasbord of Shows!
Looking for a timeless classic? Disney's Beauty and the Beast just roared (metaphorically) onto the scene at Her Majesty's Theatre. Witness the age-old tale of a beastly dude with a heart of gold (and possibly questionable interior decorating choices) who falls for a bookish beauty. Be our guest and be prepared to be enchanted... again! This one runs until the end of June, so move faster than Gaston downing a dozen eggs to snag your tickets!
Prefer something a little less, well, predictable? Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is slicing and dicing its way through audiences at the Arts Centre Melbourne. This darkly comedic thriller will have you singing along to murder ballads and questioning your love for meat pies (or at least ones made by Sweeney). Just a heads up, this one's not for the faint of heart (or stomach).
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
Need a dose of Aussie brilliance? The Boy From Oz is bringing the story of Peter Allen to life at The National Theatre. Get ready for feathers, sequins, and enough high notes to make a kookaburra jealous.
That's not all, folks! Melbourne's stages are bursting with other fantastic musicals, from smaller productions to upcoming shows. So, keep your eyes peeled on websites like TodayTix or [whatson.melbourne.vic.gov.au] to find the perfect show to tickle your theatrical fancy.
Tip: Jot down one takeaway from this post.

QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
How to become a musical maestro? Practice those scales, darling! But seriously, most importantly, just relax, have fun, and belt out those show tunes with gusto!
How to impress your date with your musical knowledge? Casually drop a line about Sondheim or the history of vaudeville. It'll work, trust me (maybe).
Tip: Summarize each section in your own words.
How to find the best post-show drink? Melbourne is a haven for hidden bars and trendy cafes. Do a quick Google search for spots near the theatre, or ask the ushers for recommendations. They're usually clued-in on the best post-show buzz.
