We had dinner here on Saturday night and there were a number of options - burgers, pizza, main meals, snacks. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. Drink prices not bad either. After dinner we were treated to a fantastic show with three comedians. The jokes were very funny and we all had sore bellies from laughing so much. Was well worth the cost @ $30 for show and around $35 for dinner. Will be coming back again when in Melbourne. They have different comedians on each night and some have been Akmal, Dave Hughes, Dave Thornton, Jimoin, to name a few.

Great comedians. The MC was a fantastic host for the evening, he was actually funnier than a couple of the comics. The food could be better for next time.

This play was excellent. Really enjoyed hearing the story and the music performances were excellent. The acoustics were great in the theatre and the audience gave the actors and the orchestra a well deserved standing ovation. i was not sure what to expect but I can highly recommend this play to you.
