One thing you can always expect when it comes to Emma Holland, is the unexpected. That’s a pretty tired descriptor, but it couldn’t be more true here: Emma’s 2025 offering ‘Don’t Touch My Trinkets’ is a zany, off-the-wall presentation delving into art history and exploring the many roads Emma travelled down before landing at stand-up comedy. Immediately curious are the four artworks on pedestals as we enter the room – each a different style and each representing touchpoints across Emma’s life.

The Melbourne International Comedy Festival Allstars Supershow hit the Palais Theatre stage on Monday night (31 March) to an audience passionate about comedy and looking for a place to lose themselves in laughs. A selection of more than 20 acts hit the stage across the evening. It of course could not be ignored that this was a re-do after a tragic incident halted the original show on 26 March.

The great fun of a Melanie Bracewell show, is knowing that you’re always going to get at least one excellent story. . . If not maybe ten. Melanie’s tireless teeth-cutting in the industry in recent years – including Gala spots, sold-out shows, and a regular co-hosting gig on Channel Ten – have shaped her as one of the most engaging acts in the business.

Disney films have defined generations with spellbinding storytelling and timeless charm – whether it’s a fearless daughter bringing honour to her family, a pride of lions welcoming a new son, or a sisterhood so strong it can break an ice-cold curse. One thing these films – and countless others from the studio – have in common, is the magical thread of music.

The 2025 iteration of ‘Snow White’ is a canvas of stunning colours, fantastic CGI and an iconic story – but how does it stack up in the era of live-action remakes? If it weren’t for studios (including Disney, thank goodness) finally realising that damsel-in-distress stories have – to put it lightly – aged poorly and serve practically no purpose in the modern era, a ‘Snow White’ remake in 2025 would probably feel dated, a little unnecessary, and a step back in time.

A classic tale, told under a blue Melbourne sky in a picturesque park – Melbourne Shakespeare Company’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’ is a delight. In this razor-sharp, 90-minute performance, Shakespeare’s most iconic love story is set in 1940s post-war Vienna. Leah Fitzgerald-Quinn’s gorgeous costumes – worn by the cast who are making their way around the space and handing out ID cards – immediately transport audiences, and characters are easily distinguished by names pinned into clothing.

In ‘Shirley Valentine’, set in the ‘80s with themes still (unfortunately) relevant in 2025, the multi-talented Natalie Bassingthwaighte powers through a challenging two-and-a-bit hour, one-woman show. Two acts, two sets – it’s all quite simple on the surface. Not much changes visually – but the story of ‘Shirley Valentine’ runs deep. What audiences get to witness here is the transformation of a woman. . . A woman who once felt trapped and now feels free.

A night with Missy Higgins under the stars (or, as it were on this night, the clouds) was simply magical. As with her recent performance as part of A Day On The Green (read our review), this was once again a showcase of pure talent. Unfortunately, like that show, Missy’s Melbourne show was plagued by bad weather – but rain does not an empty Sidney Myer Music Bowl make. Crowds turned up in their thousands, packing out the venue and donning ponchos.
