Request a Reviewer

After all, reviews are what we are all about, so of course we want to hear from you if you have a show you’d like us to consider for review. You can read about the types of reviews we complete here or scroll to the bottom of the page to request a reviewer!

Where Do We Review?

The majority of our coverage is in South East Queensland. We are always trying to expand that area, so get in touch and tell us about your show, and if we have someone in the area, we’ll see if they can make it.

What Do We Review?

Absolutely anything that is considered art (yes even subjectively!), We will come to your musicals, plays, circus, dance concerts, fringe performances, art galleries and everything in between!

We will also dip our toe into theatre related books and even the occasional film. Put simply, if you think you have something that we might be interested in, just tell us about it. We will always consider every invite we receive.

How Do We Decide What Gets Reviewed?

It is purely schedule based if a reviewer is available to attend your show, they will attend! If they can't attend feel free to send through a press release or interview request so we can provide some coverage on your show!

How Far In Advance Should We Contact You?

It’s never too early to invite us. Whilst most of our team probably only plan a few weeks ahead, some will plan a few months if a show takes their interest. We will also take review requests for shows happening in the next week or two, but we can’t often fill such late requests, it really depends if a reviewer finds they have some spare time and the show takes their interest. Never be afraid to ask, we will always try for you.

Our Show is Ready, We Want to Invite You, What do we do?:

Send an email to dramadispatch@gmail.com with the show name, producer, location, available dates and times! We will then contact you if a reviewer is available to attend, from there you make 2 tickets available for our reviewers to attend and then sit back and relax! It's that easy!

Article: Waru is sure to delight these school holidays

  Australia’s leading Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander performing arts company, Bangarra Dance Theatre will bring its delightful work for children, Waru – journey of the small turtle to QPAC from Wednesday 26 to Saturday 29 June for the school holidays.   Fresh from its critically acclaimed (and kid approved!) Australian tour in 2023, Waru is a must- see new Australian work for children aged three to eight years and their families.   A journey of survival and discovery with our heroine Migi the turtle, the contemporary saltwater Lagaw Kazil (Island Children) story is inspired by the totemic system of the green turtle, in an interactive and immersive introduction to Torres Strait Islander culture and dance for three- to eight-year-olds.   Under the star-illuminated skies of the Torres Strait, a green turtle navigates her way back to the beach where she was born. The season has started, the turtles are returning to nest, and soon the...

One O’Clock From The House // Gold Coast Little Theatre

  Gold Coast Little Theatre’s production of One O’Clock From The House transports the audience right back to the 1980’s with this witty English comedy and is perfect for a great night out at the theatre! Directed by Dawn China, Gold Coast Little Theatre’s One O’Clock From The House is pure laughter from top to bottom. This company’s rendition of Frank Vickery’s hysterical comedy is something truly special hidden in the heart of Southport. One O’Clock From The House was wonderfully produced by GCLT and remains a beating heart of English comedy!

Opinion: Bringing Broadway to the small stage

  When Director Tim Hill set out to stage "Merrily We Roll Along" at Ad Astra, an intimate theatre, he faced the formidable task of translating the grandeur of a Broadway musical into a more confined space. Hill’s insightful approach sheds light on the unique challenges and unexpected advantages of such a transformation, emphasizing a story-first mentality and a play-like treatment. “Merrily We Roll Along” possesses qualities that align well with a smaller, more intimate setting. Hill explains, "The key to staging a musical in that space was to approach it like a play. 'Merrily' has many attributes of a play: generally enclosed, confined settings, a character-focused narrative, intricate character relationships, and a focus on story first over spectacle. I thought all these attributes really lent themselves to such an intimate setting." This perspective redefines the traditional boundaries between a musical and a play, highlighting that the essence of a stor...
