Beautifully melodic / raw and hard nosed Just when it seemed that the best of this year’s Fringe Festival had been and gone a production emerges that epitomises what so many before have lacked. David Goldthorpe’s solo performance is based on the life and times of legendary jazz musician Chet Baker – Like Someone in Love. [more] |

CHET BAKER: LIKE SOMEONE IN LOVE at Galatos reviewed by Nik Smythe 3 Mar 2009 |

Mood-catching musical yarn I arrive to behold a smoky blue set, immortal jazz legend Chet Baker slouched over his trumpet on his stool upstage right, band stage left, tatty unclothed single bed and coffee table centre stage, for more private moments. [more] |

CHET BAKER: LIKE SOMEONE IN LOVE at Fortune Theatre - Hutchinson Studio reviewed by Barbara Frame (Otago Daily Times) 6 May 2008 |

Jazz trumpeter's fame & tragedy draws audience The atmosphere is smoky and the lights are dim and blue. There are musical instruments, including a trumpet, on a cheap-looking bed, and there’s a little table supporting various items that can be injected, ingested or smoked. So it can only be about jazz.

A superb production …At Blondini’s … David Goldthorpe’s solo act about Chet Baker, Like Someone In Love, is seeing a return season after last years Fringe Festival – and deservedly so. With smooth jazz sounds and a crystal chandelier hanging above us, this show does for theatre what velvet does for underpants; and if you haven’t tried velvet underwear, I suggest you do so soon.

A most enjoyable occasion David Goldthorpe’s Chet Baker, Like Someone in Love, in the St James Theatre cabaret series is best described not as a play, nor as a concert, but rather an occasion. [more] |
 CHILDREN'S CHEERING CARPET at Te Papa, level 2 reviewed by John Smythe 11 Mar 2008 |
|
A shared experience Generating a quality of mystique can gild an otherwise ordinary lily or enhance the magic of a theatrical experience. In the case of the Children’s Cheering Carpet, from Italy’s Compagnia TPO, I think the latter applies. [more] |

CHIMERA at Whitireia Performance Centre, 25-27 Vivian Street reviewed by Virginia Kennard 18 Jul 2012 |
|
Haunting, dark, beauty This work weaves chant and violin, swift exit and slow physicality, emerging light and dying dark, in what could be a death ritual enacted in reverse. The stage is deep, very deep, and so we watch, breathless, from far away, a detached and yet intimate voyeur in this mystical rite. [more] |
 CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI COOKIES at School of Physical Education, Otago University reviewed by Kasey Dewar 29 Mar 2011 |

A the perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Accompanied A J Hicklings on a wooden pipe-like instrument the dancer’s movements seemed to be inspired by nature with delicate bird-like movements and striking arched poses. Overall it was beautifully choreographed piece carefully matched to the haunting music of the pipe, and set off with the sun shining down over the large free-standing archway. [more] |

Cheeky, funny, ridiculous, enjoyable I love murder mysteries and I devoured pick-a-path adventures as a child, so I can’t think of a premise for a show more immediately intriguing than a pick-a-path murder mystery where we, the audience, decide how the story ends. [more] |

Fresh and timely Jo Holsted and Michelle Ang’s winning script on multiple identities in a multicultural metropolis – headlined here by Ang – is a celebration of being ‘the other’ in a city where being ‘normal’ is subjective. [more] |
