GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS at 4 Moncrieff St., Mt. Victoria
reviewed by Ewen Coleman (The Dominion Post) 4 Jul 2012
Fresh and invigorating
KidzStuff Theatre for Children is running a great new talent contest in town called What Bears Have Talent. Unfortunately, one of the contestants, a young girl called Goldilocks, is not eligible to enter because she isn’t a bear. [more]

GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS at Court One
reviewed by Erin Harrington 18 Jan 2011
Delightfully irreverent, relevant and fresh with local flavour
Carl Nixon’s witty Kiwiana adaptation of Goldilocks and the Three Bears presents Goldilocks with a mystery: her parents admit that they found her in the forest and don’t even know her real name. [more]

GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE QUEERS at BATS
reviewed by John Smythe 14 Apr 2010
High-camp theatricality overwhelms dramatic potential
Rather than draw on the rich resources of Wellington’s 1960s-70s underground gay culture (Carmen’s coffee lounge et al), Short Term Visitor Parking’s devised work vamps up a pop culture pastiche of San Francisco at that seminal time, albeit with a Momma Queer straight from the Bronx and Goldilocks from the Deep South Bible Belt.

GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE QUEERS at The Basement @ 39 Dixon street
reviewed by Ewen Coleman (The Dominion Post) 15 Feb 2010
Good in parts, bad in others
An interesting aspect of the Fringe Festival is the way new venues appear, like Basement 39 in Dixon Street where Goldilocks and the Three Queers are assembled in a San Francisco basement flat in the 1970’s. [more]

GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE QUEERS at The Basement @ 39 Dixon street
reviewed by Uther Dean (Salient) 15 Feb 2010
Simply too long but with great potential
The first thing that really needs to be noted about this season of Goldilocks and the Three Queers is that it is a workshop season. This is an experimental first performance of an in-progress work which will be given its full airing in a few months in a season at BATS. [more]

More like a pile of beads than a necklace
It’s been a long time since I was in Wellington for a Fringe Festival. Last time I longingly read the reviews from my computer in Christchurch, where theatre tends to happen, well, in theatres. I have long looked forward to seeing experimental shows set in quirky venues that challenge the audience and make a nonsense of the “fourth wall”. [more]

GONDWANA: LAND OF THE GIANTS at Family Theatre, Event Centre, Auckland Museum
reviewed by Sian Robertson 10 Jan 2008
Intrepid dinosaur fans enraptured by realistic puppets
The most impressive ‘puppet’ show we have ever seen! I took my five-year-old son (see his review below) and a friend’s 10-year-old daughter and both were transfixed, as was I. [more]

GONG CRAZY at Adam Concert Room, VUW
reviewed by Jennifer Shennan 6 Oct 2009
A concert for a life
In Asian performance traditions, the arts of mask and dance are intertwined with music to make visual and dramatic impact, so the separation of performance arts we are too familiar with is here reassuringly absent. [more]

GOOD ANGEL, BAD ANGEL at Gryphon
reviewed by Pepe Becker 2 Apr 2008
Excellently crafted and performed intimate chamber opera
I have only good things to say about this show ... Its perfect combination of elements – music, libretto, performers, production and venue – gives the audience an experience every bit as satisfying as some of the best international acts have to offer. [more]

GOOD ENOUGH? at The Forge at The Court Theatre
reviewed by Steve Thomas 20 Sep 2006
Balls with heart
There's a show just kicked off at the Court Theatre that will appeal to a rugby crazy town ... [It] gets inside the heart of the sport. It's not all sweetness and light but it is revealing and hugely entertaining. [more]
