What if the review was the show?
For NZ Fringe 2026, an election year that couldn't come any sooner, musical comedy duo Bethany Miller and Logan Hunt imagine a best-of-all-possible-worlds-Aotearoa.
That's a tall order, so we've invited some friends (foes?) for feedback...
Each night we're bringing in a local theatre reviewer to critique our musical live on stage, and you'll get to witness the results.

ABOUT THE DUO:
Nominated for "MOMENTOUS MUSIC" (NZ Fringe), Logan and Bethany have made a new musical comedy each year since 2023, complete with crunchy social commentary, witty lyrics, and loveable/hateable characters. Logan loves to write, Bethany loves to improvise. This time, they've agreed to do both, at the mercy of live reviewers.
Their previous shows have been described as:
"Supremely relevant social satire cleverly written and gorgeously portrayed" (Theatreview)
"Delightfully ‘Fringey’, frenetic and buoyant with glorious energy and musicality" (Theatreview)
"heartwarming, wholesome and features a wickedly talented cast showcasing the best of their abilities." (Wellyott)
"[Bethany Miller] is a consistently strong vocalist, as anyone who’s ever seen her perform will attest to." (Wellyott)
"[Logan Hunt's] Tim Minchin-esque lyrics are brilliant and Miller’s performance of them a delight" (Regional News)
