Melbourne theatre and musicals in November
From mega-musicals to indie plays – we've got you covered for onstage highlights
This November is a great time for theatre-loving Melburnians, with shows in just about every corner of the city; and just about every entertainment box ticked. Melbourne Theatre Company is donning its dance shoes for Kiss of the Spider Woman, while Malthouse is taking on Christmas with the help of cabaret chanteuse Meow Meow. There's plenty of indie theatre happening in our smallest and most daring venues and some international comedy superstars headed our way.
Scroll on for a full account of what to see where this month on Melbourne's stages.

But in truth (as far as theatre critique is concerned, at least), JK Rowling needn’t have worried.
