#sydney REVIEW – The Twits at the Sydney Opera House. We headed into the city this afternoon to check out The Twits on stage and what a hilarious treat that was!
It’s hard to explain how a group of actors and stage crew can make an entire theatre burst into laughter, but they nailed it today. Even better was hearing the extended laughs from parents, as the show delivered non-stop chaos and comedy for both kids and adults, with plenty of clever references for all ages.
Of course, the dysfunctional duo of Mr and Mrs Twit played brilliantly by Kieran McGrath and Judy Hainsworth were at the centre of it all, but the supporting cast (Ryan Hodson, Billy Fogarty and Johnny Balbuziente) brought just as much energy, minus the grossness.
Hats off to Shake & Stir for another great production. The fun magic tricks also kept us (and the kids) impressed throughout.
Lovers of the book will enjoy spotting a few familiar tricks along the way, and for those who haven’t read it, they’ll find the story hilarious and wish they had!
The Twits is now playing at the Sydney Opera House until 19 July 2025. You might be lucky to grab some last-minute tickets if you dare!
Age recommendation: 5 to 105 years+
Note: Contains loud music and sound, strobe lighting, haze... and two very nasty individuals.

Roald Dahl’s gruesome twosome The Twits return to our stage to delight and disgust in equal measure. Unmissable fun for all the family packed with Dahlicious mischief, hilarious mayhem and big belly laughs!
You won’t believe your (glass) eyes!
Mr and Mrs Twit are the nastiest couple you could ever hope (not) to meet – both on a quest to be meaner than the other – but, who will outwit the Twits? Full of trickery and wickedly-funny pranks, this infamous pair ultimately highlight the need to treat others with love and care and spreading positivity is far more enjoyable.
Packed with Dahlicious mischief, hilarious mayhem and humongous belly laughs, The Twits is unmissable theatre for all ages, from the team that brought us the sold out season of Fantastic Mr Fox, George’s Marvelous Medicine and Revolting Rhymes & Dirty Beasts.
You’ve read the book – now get to the theatre and experience this family classic from the wacky mind of the world’s No. 1 Storyteller live on stage.
