Weekender: Breaking consensus on Pluribus and Wicked For Good manages to land the broomstick
Everyone in the world has come together in a single voice: shared perspective, shared understanding, shared goals - harmony.
That's both the plot of Pluribus and a rough summary of how critics have reacted to the show. But Ce and Sky aren't entirely won over and share their concerns about the hive mind.
Wicked: For Good looks set to be one of the biggest releases of the year and, despite some structural challenges inherent to the musical, manages to stay propulsively fun, with some of the best costume and set design of the year and remarkable performances from the two leads and the full ensemble.
Ce's excited about Undead, a new album by Jessica O’Donoghue and Jack Symonds, which embraces contemporary Australian opera. And Sky shouts out Sharon Van Etten's 2025 album with The Attachment Theory, ahead of her Australian tour dates.
Plus: thoughts about the ARIAs, Last Samurai Standing, Sisu 2, and the latest exhibition at Buxton Contemporary.
