MARVELous The Show (Reviewed)


  • National Theatre Melbourne (map)

#melbourne REVIEW - Renata and Anastasia were so excited to attend the MARVELous The Show @marveloustheshow last night at the @thenationaltheatremelbourne as they are both big Marvel fans 🙌 On until 26th April 2025.

Here’s their review: “A MARVELous experience, or so we sat. That totally has nothing to do with the Disney or Marvel franchise in order to totally not avoid copyright strikes. Just the amount of sensual fun you desire in this dazzling performance with some beloved characters. Captain America, with a butt larger than his wonderful ego, Pony Stark, our favourite billionaire which is not Batman, wrong franchise. Black Widow, our beloved girl, Spider-Man, the moneymaker, Thor, our thunder-bringer. Oh and Hawkeye, yeah that guy. With just the right amount of everything, it’s a show worth dying for, but exclusively for the people old enough to see it, 15+, don’t want any youngsters lurking around. That is only the beginning of our lovely story, we’ll dive deeper into this fantasy with our lovely mutate storyteller, Deadpool. Love that guy, coming from a not biased perspective. Make sure to visit now before it’s too late!”

Age recommendation: 15 years+ due to adult themes. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult
