How did I ever not know about Wonderland? Every year at around about this time the festival runs at the Brisbane Powerhouse with a mix of cabaret, comedians, plays and experiments.
This is my third time reviewing shows for Scenestr magazine and it remains something special that I truly look forward to. As I approached the Powerhouse for my first show I smiled at the lit up ‘W‘ sign above the main entrance. It was good to be back.
Last Thursday I arrived to see shows Awesome Ocean Party and the highly anticipated latest from Act/React’s Die Hard: The Movie, The Play.
More on the latter later but you can read my review of Awesome Ocean Party here https://scenestr.com.au/arts/awesome-ocean-party-brisbane-review-wonderland-festival-2019-20191125. Nominated for Best Cabaret at Melbourne Fringe 2016, the show had a quirky home made charm about it, likeable performers and a lovely message.
Afterwards attending the show at the Turbine Studio, Karen and I went to the bar and had our beloved favourite Powerhouse pizzas – basil and cheese for Karen and pepperoni for me.
We then made our way to Nakatomi plaza.

Nice to see you back, Lloyd.
Good review about a show that sounds very ‘different’, to say the least. 🙂
(By the way, you seem to have something stuck to your top lip. I would get that looked at.)
Best wishes, Pete.
Haha. Back doing Movember. 🙂 Glad to be back and see you in fine form.
Bizarre show! I’m glad you had a great time.
It’s quirky, I hope I haven’t given the wrong idea. It was quite lovely, not avant-garde.
The video looked quirky to me. I’m still glad you had a fun time. 🙂
