Interesting that native plants don't favour native bees over European bees. I planted all natives in my garden because I thought I was promoting growth of the native population!
Common misconception, I suppose.
I wish there was some viable control method we could set up at home.

Wow, I had no idea Broadway was so expensive! I feel lucky now lol

I definitely have passed on shows before because I didn't know whether the price was worth the level of enjoyment I was expecting. And that's as someone who is only paying for one to two tickets. I can't imagine how a family or other large group could justify that kind of cost.

To my shame, I've not seen one! Only started going to musicals in earnest recently, when I finally had the disposable income for tickets and travel. Moulin Rouge was on my radar peripherally, however I didn't like the movie much and, like you, prefer an original score so I never went.

Matilda was incredible, and I think Tim Minchin did an amazing job, but I suppose one guy doesn't make a whole musical Australian.

Other than that, either I've been too late to see the big ones, or too out of touch with theatre news to see the recent ones.

I suppose that's why I'd like to see a bigger and more celebrated theatre industry of our own. I simply never hear about any musicals created here, and I'd like to! Maybe if Aussie musicals got to the point where they are being advertised as much as Hamilton or Wicked were, it would be easier for people like me, people who only skim the surface of what's available, to better support our own.

I think we have some of the best on-stage talent in the industry right now, so I'm glad that home grown talent on the production side is picking up as well.

Oh yes, that was so funny!

 

So people have been fancasting Maitreyi Ramakrishnan lately for a potential future live-action Tangled, and to be fair to her I've never seen her work.

But after seeing Shubshri Kandiah on stage as Jasmine, Cinderella and Belle, she's my pick.

Aside from her incredible vocal and acting skill, she has the most perfect "wide-eyed disney princess" expression. It's uncanny.

Great write-up! What is your favourite of all the new Australian musicals you listed at the top?
And what is needed from the general public to support and nurture the Australian musical scene, in your opinion?

Dude, plain pasta tastes great. No contest.

I can't help you with the quality of the prints, but I've found that sticking the bed and print into the freezer for 2-3 mins will help it pop off easily.
