all incredible and the performances are world-class. Don’t miss this show!” – Audience member

This Queensland musical won “Best New Australian Work” (Matilda Awards ).

War” celebrates an untold story of bravery, courage and compassion in the chaos of war.

Reviews and feedback

Reviews

What did the critics think of the show?

You know a show is very, very good when you can’t decide which part you liked best. You know the cast is very, very good when you can’t decide which performance you liked best.”

Kitty Goodall – Stage Whispers

“The harmonies in ensemble numbers shimmer with beauty … Monsour’s portrayal is quietly intense, and her focus and emotional range is magnetic.”

Meredith Walker – Blue Curtains

“A testament to female resilience and ingenuity, wrapped in song and laughter, and delivered with extraordinary care.  This is theatre with purpose and passion.”
