  • 42 Ben Neutze & Cassie Tongue: A platonic partnership in pop

    Theatre critics Cassie Tongue and Ben Neutze tell a story of musical theatre legends, glitter emerald eye-shadow, and pants-wetting in the presence of a Minogue.

    Cassie and Ben are two of Sydney's leading theatre critics and are among the most influential performing arts commentators in the country. Cassie writes regularly for Time Out Sydney and Guardian Australia, and Ben is Deputy Editor of Daily Review. Ben and Cassie bring intelligence, politics, feminism and a queer eye to the fine art of theatre criticism, and they are 100% my favourite bromance in the Australian media.
