This city's got more stages than a particularly dramatic possum, and with June upon us, there's a whole bunch of awesome productions ready to knock your socks off (metaphorically, unless you're rocking some killer sandals).

| What Shows Are On In Melbourne |
So, what's on the bill, you ask? Buckle up, buttercup!
Musicals that will have you humming in the shower (and maybe at work, oops):
- Disney's Beauty and the Beast: Because let's face it, we all secretly want to be Belle, right? (Except maybe for the whole Stockholm Syndrome situation with the Beast). This classic is back to melt your heart (and possibly make you crave a giant croissant).
- WICKED: Ever wondered what the Wicked Witch of the West's side of the story is? This smash hit will have you rethinking everything you thought you knew about Oz.
Plays that will make you think, feel, and maybe need a post-show beverage:
- The Whale: This critically acclaimed drama tackles tough themes, but hey, sometimes a good cry is cathartic, right? Just BYOB - bring your own tissues.
- Apologia: Looking for something a little lighter? Apologia might not be the answer, but it's bound to spark some interesting conversations (or at least make you appreciate your own family...hopefully).
And for something completely different...
- Odyssey: Illusion Spectacular: Think magic, mind-reading, and enough razzle-dazzle to make a Vegas show blush. The perfect escape from reality (unless you're terrified of magicians, in which case, maybe steer clear).
But wait, there's more!
This is just a taste of what Melbourne's theatre scene has to offer. For a more comprehensive list, check out websites like [TodayTix](visite website) or [Time Out](visite website).
Feeling overwhelmed by all this choice? Don't worry, we've got you covered!
QuickTip: Read section by section for better flow.
Here are some handy tips to make your Melbourne show-going experience a breeze:
- Plan ahead: Popular shows can sell out fast, so book your tickets in advance.
- Dress code? It depends on the show. For musicals and fancy plays, dress to impress (although you won't get turned away for rocking your favourite jeans).
- Dinner and a show? Melbourne is a foodie paradise, so there are endless options for pre- or post-theatre dining.
- Public transport or parking? Consider your options! Melbourne has a great public transport system, but parking can be tricky in the city centre.
Alright, alright, enough chit-chat, let's get down to business!
Tip: Take your time with each sentence.
